….For Colonialism "Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador told the Spanish king and the Vatican that "wounds are still open" from the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1521. The Spanish government was not amused. Spanish King Felipe VI and Pope Francis should apologize for the 16th-century conquest of Mexico, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Monday. The populist leftist Mexican president has sought to cast himself as a champion of Mexico's indigenous peoples and, until now, he had cultivated cordial relations with both Spain and the Vatican…."

I think the King and the Pope should demand that the Mexican government apologize for human sacrifice. |

Perhaps Obrador could ask Norway (the Vikings) to apologize for the the ransacking of Anglia where my Saxon forebears lived. In the meantime I will contact the Queen and ask her to apologize to the Britons for the Saxon conquest of Britain and for the Norman conquest of Saxon England. |

Rmaker's comment is very pertinent. For people demanding an apology, let's consider; If we found, today, an apparently advanced society that practiced mass human sacrifice (not just the odd special occasion), ritual cannibalism (the priests), often waging war on neighbours in order to obtain victims for said rituals, how would we react? If that same society refused to give up their beliefs – not wishing to have others imposed on them – how would the modern world react? Would it be a live and let live attitude? Or would there be an international effort, via sanctions and later possible military force, to compel the society to change? In the latter instance, we've seen that sanctions can lead to malnutrition, starvation and outbreaks of epidemic diseases. Does doing it for 'humanitarian' reasons make it better than doing it for religious reasons? |

This topic sounds political to me. But just for the record, could someone please tell me who are the "native" peoples of England and France? |

I would have no trouble with this…..as long as you could find someone alive today (500 years later) that was originally hurt by this policy. Since you can't…forget it! It's "HISTORY"! |

He forgot France. They did quite a bit of mischief in Mexico. |

All of Europe should demand an apology of China for pushing the Huns into Europe …… |

He forgot? Because maybe it is very well known that was France who reduced the size of Mexico by two…
in 1870 Juárez wanted to sent a Mexican Legion against the Prussians and their German allied in France Pobre México tan lejos de Dios y tan cerca de Estados Unidos |
