Horde expansion - or expansion attempts in Azshara, Ashenvale, Darkshore, Theramore, Gilneas, Ambermill, Southshore, Stonetalon are all very recent history, and if the best example of bad, baaaad conquering Alliance people can find is literally at the dawn of human history, then I'd say it's very far from equal.
Sure, nations fight and take lands from one another. Alliance nations too, there was the Barrens incursion, the sacking of Stonard, the Dalaran business. But when it comes to both quantity and scale of these power grabs, they're simply incomparable. I play both, did quests on both, and the Horde is and has always been way more aggressive, and way more destructive.
