This whole “displace natives” narrative is such American thinking. This applies to most of Europe. What European go around having guilt about displacing natives in their home countries? Are the descendants of Normans in Britain riddled with guilt over having taken power from Saxons and Anglos? Are the Saxons guilty about displacing celts?

This Americanized way of viewing history falls flat on its face when applied to Europe.



This map shows that there's a lot of guilt to go around!
