When we're talking state-to-state action, there is a decent claim to be made that redress, obligation, and culpability do extent beyond specific individuals lifetimes. But those don't outweigh the new harm that would be caused to people by taking from them now to address those older issues.
Steal more, keep more applies, I guess (or if we're looking at that individual level it's "steal more, descendants keep more") but I think you're glossing over relevant ethical matters.
