Imagine there’s a playground full of kids, and one big kid is making sure that everyone is playing nice with each other, being safe, etc. But, everyone has to play by the big kid’s rules or he’ll make them go home. Now, one day a big bully comes along and beats up the big kid, and makes him run home. Now the bully is the big kid on the playground, and everyone has to play by his rules.

It’s kinda like that. In the most basic sense, taking control of *any* strategic location, including a city simply means having troops in that location and the ability to exert a level of control over that location that would otherwise belong to the opposing side.
