Is there any [group of people sharing a culture and geography] (country, nation, whatever word(s) you think fit best) who have never conquered anyone nor been conquered? Has there ever been?
Yes, I agree -- probably the Greenland Inuit. I would say that the North American Inuit/Aleut groups were effectively taken over by European North Americans. But the Dutch (the nation that "owned" Greenland; at least, I think it was the Dutch) were actually extremely conscientious concerning the culture and language of the Greenland Inuit.
I grant that perhaps what I said was too generous, but if I stick the word "relatively" in there, I think it still stands. The Danes perhaps weren't perfect, but they were exceedingly better than the European North Americans when it came to dealing with Inuit peoples.
