<span>The referendum result is not legally binding - Parliament still has to pass the laws that will get Britain out of the 28 nation bloc, starting with the repeal of the 1972 European Communities Act. ...

<span>This is of course somewhat of a subjective question, but in general most would agree that in general expansion was not justifiable since the Mexicans and Natives were doing nothing to provoke the US. One could argue it was justifiable since Americans needed more land. </span>
The practice of forcibly removing Native Americans from their traditional land started at the same time that Europeans began their colonization of America. However, by the early 19th century, the practice had become systematic and institutionalized. The practice consisted of forcing the Native populations to move to smaller, less desirable areas so that their native land could be occupied by Europeans. This cruel practice left lasting effects on the Native population.
For example, tribes often lost their means of livelihood by being subjected to a new, more limited area. This land often did not allow them to pursue traditional means of subsistence (such as fishing or hunting) in quantities that could sustain the community.
When tribes were reliant on farming, the impact was equally tragic, as the allocated land was often infertile or insufficient. These two factors meant that the tribes experienced a huge cultural loss in terms or traditional knowledge and customs.
The relocation also resulted in violence. Hostility between tribes was common, as they were pushed into smaller, closer territories. Another type of violence came from the European who tried to keep the Native people inside their reservations. Those who opposed were often attacked, and this strategy resulted in enormous massacres of Native people.
The Europeans were interest in Africa for two main reasons, slaves and resources. They needed the west African coastline for slave trading since that's where all the slaves were taken by their captors to be sold, and they needed to go deeper into the continent to get natural resources. Central and Southern central Africa were places with things like Gold, but they also needed the subsaharan area for things like Ivory from elephants. They were also looking for things like diamonds.
The borders were created without any regards for people living there which meant that tribes would often be separated and clustered with other tribes that didn't have their cultural beliefs, or didn't even speak the same language. This caused a lot of civil wars because after the colonization, the borders remained, so different ethnic tribes would fight for power over the other tribes.
