Well, in a very abbreviated nutshell, some would argue that the invading
army was Europeans bent on taking as much land as they could on this new
(to them) continent, regardless of who presently occupied it (namely the
nations of Ojibway, Sioux, Apache, Comanche, etc.). They then formed their
own governments and began holding elections.
So back to your original post:
"Strange logic, to equate invasion, alien conquest and puppet rule
under foreign military occupation, with indigenous democracy."
According to some, the invasion and alien conquest was carried out by
Europeans, who then formed the "indigenous" democracies of the United
States and Canada.
