1st - writing down a list of places (many negligible) britain has colonised in no way answers the q! in a few ways!.!.!.firstly virtually all those places existed as 'countries' already!.!.!.they were already 'founded' as it were!.
secondly!.!.!.you are mad to suggest that britain went round massacring jamaicans, ppl from jersey & honk kong!.!.!.the list goes on!
3rd why britain!? what about the roman empire!? america in the phillipines or germany in WW2 or the USSR!.!.the q wasn't about colonization or invasion but founding nations!Www@QuestionHome@Com

unfortunately your right no one was held accountable for the genocide of native americans!. now other countries founded on genocide includes canada, it used to have a significant number of native americans, there is also the black aboriginals in australia, large numbers were killed by british colonists, the same in new zealand!. also in africa the significant amount of white south africans was a result of the genocide of african tribes by the white boers, dutch colonists!. also in south america, the indegenous native south americans are almost extict, due to diseases and killings brought by spanish conquistadors to make room for spanish colonists and their african slaves!. resulting in the existing latino countriesWww@QuestionHome@Com

Most of them, to be honest!.!.!. Australia, Mexico, Canada Peru, any country that has been conquered and made part of an empire at any stage!. And apart from some slightly pathetic attempts by the Australians to apologies to the Aborigines the concept of 'accountable is a rather recent one and it seems ludicrous to blame a country/people for something done under completely different sets of human morals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Flu and colds killed the Indians not the settlers from Europe the same thing happened in the Hawian islands!.

read you history and you will find that the cowboys guns are a little over exaggerated as are the cowboysWww@QuestionHome@Com

Israel in 1948 but they didn't call it genocide !.I do not mean the battles but the gangs that hunted down Palestinians( Arabs)!. Quite similar to the ethnic cleansing in the Balkans!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you should perhaps read the book
"Bury my heart at wounded knee"
It is a real eye opener!. I read it in the early 80's and have never forgotten it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Israel, Brazil, Caribbean Islands, TasmaniaWww@QuestionHome@Com

I can think of one or two founded on ethnic cleansing!.
