Do you know that 2011 is the 150th birthday of modern Italy? Before unification, the "boot" was divided with different waring factions/empires/kingdoms centred around Rome, Florence, Siena, etc. And of course, further back in time, there was the Great Roman Empire that occupied at one point, all of present-day Europe, much of North Africa and part of the Middle East.
Empires rise and fall. The peoples remain the same. Some emigrate. The culture lives on.

Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all those who opposed them.
我的舊文：奧巴馬的諾貝爾和平獎演辭，指出戰爭在人類歷史中，在沒法解決分歧，要以戰爭來換取和平，感概萬分。我加註了：羅馬不是靠談判來創建帝國，他們祇是殺掉所有擋路者。

除了「殺掉」,也有「同化」等等。
