TBC: she took it _with_ those khans and all other people who lived there.
The difference is... when English colonists arrived to America, they took the land _from_ people who lived there, moving them to reservations.
RB> But that was a long time ago, too... about as long as the treaty that RB> ceded Gibralter to England.
Also, there was a number of wars on our continent... And after every war the borders are likely to be moved. That's how the GB had lost India and Israel after WW2 (both are not in the Europe, but that doesn't matter).
