No but colonizing generally is.

With the exception of Japan.

Oh, really?

What about the middle eastern empires? Or the turks? Or the Aztecs?

Or literally any other force in history lmao

If you reread they never said those nations didn’t engage in conquest.

And they also settled and slaved on the annexed lands, thus engaging in colonization

Do you think all other borders were agreed upon via a nice arm wrestling match?

They already acknowledged that conquest isn’t exclusive to euro-American history so I’m not sure what point you think you’re making right now.
