I think humans Always wanted the power, the fortune and fame and also territories to became rulers of the hole world or almost all of it, also because population is always growing and societies needed more and more resources and space. Obviously no I dont like to be conquered, Im a democratic person. Today are already countries as U.S and many others that's still searching not specifically territories but searching for other kind of possessions.
