Actually, topic is Israel. Do a couple minutes research on the seven day war. Awesome from a military perspective.
It could be argued that Israel took back what was theirs.
The British map pre 1770 did not include Australia. I have a map of Australia next to my computer from 1849 I bought in Salzburg last November. It has territory divided up amongst four powers including England - that's off topic.
Things change and to the victors go the spoils and the maps get re-written.
