I will discuss whether the european settlers had a right to explore america. I believe they did, because contact between our two very different cultures could not always live in passive separation and contact between our cultures is not beneficial but commendable. What I am not so sure about is the Europeans invasion of Native American territory. The question is, did the aztec country that the europeans invaded have a legitimate government. If so the europeans had no right to invade it unless they wanted the value of sovereignty for their own countries to be discarded, if the aztecs, however, did not have a legitimate government than the question becomes a quite simple yes. I believe the aztec culture, although it did have human sacrifice and other abuses, was a developed enough culture to have a government that can be considered legitimate, and so the Europeans were wrong in invading the Aztecs.
