The result is the same, but it was a battle of politicians and shady lawyers rather than force of arms. I'm not saying it's better to lose your rights and property that way than on a battlefield, but calling it a conquest makes it seem like some kind of achievement.

Okay but it explicitly mentions the New Zealand Wars which very much were done by force of arms.
