13. Now that's a good question...

that is, your underlying question of, how far back do you go to correct wrongs done? A question truely worthy of debate.

A reasonable starting point might be when international law was codified to outlaw certain behaviors from nation-states.

Beyond that might seem unreasonable to much of the intended audience (eg: reparations for chattel slavery, Native-American genocide, Spanish Inquisition, enslavement of Jews by various Pharohs, etc.), no matter the moral weight of the arguement and no matter of the indirect consequences being played out to this day.
