It feels like a lot of modern countries are built upon the destruction of previous cultures, in one way or another. Just a shame this one had to be SO violent.

I agree with your sentiment, but there are a few places that haven't been bloodily conquered, such as Antarctica.

There's also places like Bermuda that were uninhabited by humans before modern settlement.
What the people did after settling is another question, though...
