Huh? You have that backwards. Since the dawn of human civilization, when two societies went to war the winner usually annihilated the loser: steal anything of value, smash the artifacts, execute the men, and take the women and children as slaves. Thousands of cultures were utterly erased this way. It's only recently that warfare has become a bit more "civilized".
