Once we all lived in Africa then we spread out and have been doing so for around 200,000 years. Hardly a place on the planet does not have people from other places. The idea of people in one place going back to the bronze isn't much true.

Is Italy a country and a nation? Lots of people in the north are keen to cut themselves off from the people in the south. Could it be because they have a lot more wealth?

I will ask the question again:

"England or Britain" or some such thing, like many European countries went off around the globe taking over places and removing much wealth. This was bad and many of those places are still suffering from the consequences.

None of us a responsible for any of this and although we sill benefit from the advantage gained the original sin was not mine or our generation's.

So proud (?) of some things and not others?
