Anybody seriously think Aztecs were 'hapless victims', or any of the eastern tribes? That's hilarious idiocy. All the tribes enjoyed torture for sport and entertainment, kept slaves, beat their wives, raided and murdered farmers, stole everything they could, hired out as mercenaries to any European power who paid them the most, liked to get stinking drunk and would murder for kegs of cheap crappy rum, and worse. They genocided each other at any opportunity, especially the Plains tribes, the Sioux were particularly deadly.
So much for the myth of the peaceful Europeans.
Well, I don't think many people think Europeans were particularly peaceful.
Rightfully so, Western Europe + Russia both were pretty mad.
But, then again some of the most peaceful of nations like Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, etc. have also been European.
