"Military occupation and annexation"[edit]

The categories of these two nouns are not the same and the description is therefore not grammatically sound. From Merriam-Webster:

A military occupation is the "control and possession of hostile territory that enables an invading nation to establish military government against an enemy or martial law against rebels or insurrectionists in its own territory."^[1]
An annexation is "the act of annexing something or the state of being annexed : the addition of an area or region to a country, state, etc."^[2]

In other words, annexation describes the process while military occupation describes the result. The equivalent terms, with the same categorisations and points in time, would be:

Military occupation and annexed territory / land
Military takeover and annexation

"Annexation" in particular is the odd word out. An annexation happens and produces an annexed territory; it is not a continual process like a military occupation. Yue🌙 03:05, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
