Yes, but I wouldn’t call it genocide. I don’t know, I’m not defending them for their crimes in the past century, but the original comment is a little hyperbolic.
The modern (yamato) Japanese people replaced the previous inhabitants of Japan. I don’t think it was a deliberate genocide, but at the end of the day the Emishi / Jomon cultures were wiped out.
Edit: Also, I was talking about violence in general, not genocide.
No, I don’t think modern Italians have time machines to go back in time and train the Romans. Also, the Romans were actually competent, so it is unlikely that they were trained by the Italians.
Well the 12th century and the Sengoku period were probably worse than the early Meiji period in terms of violence.

Are we attributing Roman war practices to modern Italy too?
