It's hard to argue that something that took until the 1920s to complete is decisive. The American Indian wars didn't end until 1924. That's hardly decisive.

- meany 4y agoI think you would need to start be defining “decisive” for this context. Not sure the debate makes sense otherwise. Why does it matter if it was decisive or not?
- juve1996 4y agoBecause the post I was replying to disagreed with the decisive nature of the conflict. > Why does it matter if it was decisive or not? It goes against the entire theory of the book - if it's argument was true, why did it take centuries to ultimately conquer the americas?
- meany 4y agoBut Until decisiveness is defined it’s not really a debate. “Decisive” is not a concrete term, it’s subjective.

- cwalv 4y agoJust because a conflict/war hasn't been officially resolved or declared over by both sides doesn't mean the final outcome isn't clear.
