It's quite obvious why, because they were conqueroring land. What's not to understand there? It's the same reason the NA fought with eachother. War and the spoils there of.
Generally when groups of people decide to conquer eachtother, they don't sit down and have weighty philosophical discussions on why they are doing it. I imagine it went something like:
"Hey, they have land. I have guns."
"Hey they have hot chicks. I have a better bow and arrow."
"Hey, that's good hunting there."
"Hey, you stole my pig." (Yeah, this is a real example.)
On that note, I have never made that point that: "Whitey attacked the NA because they figured, 'Hey, they're doing it, why not?'."
My point was: How is it wrong for Whitey to fight with the NA when it is not wrong for the NA to fight amongst themselves? Why is it OK for NA to fight eachother's nations but it is not OK for an outsider to do the same?
That is the issue that you so frequently attempt to sidestep. I've made that point quite clear multiple times.

I just did. See above. It's quite clear. You're missing the point, it's plainly obvious. I just haven't figured out if you're
intentionally missing it yet.
Quzah.
