No but colonizing generally is.

With the exception of Japan.

Oh, really?

What about the middle eastern empires? Or the turks? Or the Aztecs?

Or literally any other force in history lmao

If you reread they never said those nations didn’t engage in conquest.

They already acknowledged that conquest isn’t exclusive to euro-American history so I’m not sure what point you think you’re making right now.
