"A Sticky-Fingered Nation Built On Stolen Land"

Maura needs some world history lessons. Just about every bit of earth on this planet was fought over and stolen, either temporarily, or permanently from its original inhabitants.

The correct word is “conquered”.

“Stolen” gives a sense of furtive acquisition, subject to The Law demanding it be given up.

“Conquered” conveys a sense of “It’s ours now, and we will kill anyone who disputes that”.
