Did the US conquer and oppress Hawaii?

not at all

what "conquered" them was the appeal of western religion and values.

Eventually their leaders sold out the natives and the whites ended up with all the best land for agriculture

this was not an invasion...it was good faith bargaining by investors and dumb selfish moves by the local leaders

Pretty sure it’s been proven that the continent broke off from Gondwana (native landmass) and settled in its current location before humans evolved.

Pretty sure they do not know what is under the ice.

The planet is 4.5 billion years old and recorded civilization only goes back 6,000 years. There is a lot we do not know about this planet. Entire civilizations of human like creatures could of come and gone. Even if you trace back humanity to it's primate roots, that is only 6 million years.

Go back to dinosaurs, that is only 200 million years.

4.5 billion is a big number and the planet has been habitable for about 3.6 billion of those years.

There is so much we do not know and we should never assume we do
