Chronology in occupation of Eretz Israel

Speaking of dates of the Beit Hamikdash, does anyone know the chronology of
the occupation of Eretz Israel? I know that before Yehosua conquered the
land, there were 10 nations, seven of which we took care of, and the other
3 we will take care of when Moshiach shows up (what in the world is keeping
him?). Then we took over, etc. This is the picture that I have so far.
Please help me fill in the gaps.
10 nations
Us
Babel
Us
Assiria
Us
Rome

Palestinians?
Ottoman empire
Brittish empire
Us
The reason I need to know this is because I find myself getting into
arguments over giving away the land. Frequently I'm told "They were there
first" to which I answer "The American indians were here first". But I
would like a more complete sequence of occupations. Then my argument can
be:
1) G-d created the world and gave Eretz Israel to whomever He wanted to!
2) Also, before the Palestinians were there, the XXX were there, and before
them the YYY were there, etc. If you go far back enough, and try to find
the "original" owner, you will find out, that the only real old owner that
is still around is us.
