What does it mean to annex another country? Is it always a bad thing?
In: 13
Annexation is where you take another country, or part of it, and make it part of your country through force. This is not the same as occupying another country or territory, buying territory, voting to become part of another country and things similar. So it’s generally considered to be a bad thing and is illegal under international law.
If you take WW2 when the Germans conquered Poland some of it was annexed and some was occupied.
If you take Russia and Ukraine the Russians annexed Crimea back in 2014.
