> > Territory can be annexed without having any imperialism involved, you know. The dictionary definition is “To incorporate (territory) into an existing political unit such as a country, state, county, or city.” Some territory may, by assent of its inhabitants/citizens, wish to join the Republic. What would it be called then? Annexation, of course.

> Ah, I see. The similar German word Annexion has a different meaning: "Besitzergreifung, insbes. die Einverleibung fremden Staatsgebiets nach Eroberung." (dtv Brockhaus, 20-Vol. lexicon, 1966). That is "Seizure, espec. the incorporation of foreign territory after conquest." Hence my misunderstanding.
Yes. Yours is a definition that UNDOUBTEDLY sounds aggressive. I'm glad that's cleared up.
