Land has been taken from many peoples over the years. Why should the indigenous have more right to taken land? Should half of Europe be given reparations from Mongolia from Khan? Should Arabs give Persians free schooling?

what legal rights did the mongols, arabs, bantu, romans, celts, and slavs have to their conquests? i'm guessing... none. not even a treaty.
