Not on a continental scale and brainwashing massive amounts of people to think their culture and physical appearance is inferior in which it affects the descendants today.
Of course they probably had wars keeping other rivals out of the empires or competing land. Probably some mass killings too and nature destruction (they are Humans) but not on the scale of the Spanish,, British, French etc
60 years ago the civilized land of Europe was bombarding itself back into the stone age!!
That alone shows you how enlightened and ahead of everyone Europe is!!
let's not mention how massively poor, overpopulated, oppressive, plagued by war, disease it has been for most of its history... its only after WWII and huge amounts of money injected by the US (Marshall plan), that it has become a stable place free of war, disease and poverty!!!
They are Americans.
Most Europeans came 4500 from Russia, the (the Yanma) culture, and Neolithic culture came 8.000 years ago from Turkey..and there are almost not Europeans dating from the Paleolithic.
Europeans are no Russians or from Asia Minor.
No, I'm from Lenapehoking (we call it Long Island now), although my parents were from Sicily outside Siracusa and I have an EU passport.
But I was asking people of the European continent their opinion. You are not european I don't care what you think your words are simply worthless to this conversation about Europeans and their affairs. Seriously in the context of this discussion your opinion is worthless and your presence here looks desperate and sad. Please stop embarassing yourself. I only interjected because you as a non-european have no place in this conversation and I felt I needed to redirect you. Go away.
For clarity's sake since apparently people cannot read that this is not addressed at anyone but people ethnically indigenous to the European continent, please state what country you're from. I wanted the opinions of ethnic Europeans living in Europe all else is irrelevant to me.

and you have the damn nerve to come and tell me to not talk to "you" Europeans like that?
honey you're not from Europe.... you're a descendant of a bunch of impoverished sicilian migrants who landed on MY CONTINENT so that they would not starve!!

Historically people the world over were quite happy to slaughter their neighbours and that INCLUDES natives of the America's. Its the way being 'human' is I'm afraid. It just so happens that Europeans had superior technical knowhow that made them so good at it and also enabled them to take their 'fight' across the globe. If Europeans didn't do it first somebody else would have. I am sorry that history is full of cruel and barbaric people, in fact the world still is, I'm afraid you just going to have to learn to live with it.

it still is for sure. anyone noticed an outfit called "ISIS" lately ??
Guys chill out! There was no genocide in North America... Only 5% of native americans lived above the Rio Grande... The rest of them (95%) live below Texas because of warmer weather (proof below). So maybe the Vikings May be the indigenous people of North America after all. Please don't call somebody's ancestors murderers, racists or whatever. Learn to love and respect your ancestors
