Conquest

England, for example, experienced phases and areas of Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Franco-Norman colonisation and conquest.

The Ottomans used a method of gradual, non-military conquest in which they established suzerainty over their neighbours and then displaced their ruling dynasties.

[3] Conquests of this sort did not involve violent revolution but were a process of slow assimilation, established by bureaucratic means such as registers of population and resources as part of the feudal timar system.

[7] Thus, the Aztecs; Incas; the African Kingdoms Dahomey and Benin; and the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria and Persia all stand out as more militaristic than the less organized societies around them.

[9] In modern armed conflicts, looting is prohibited by international law, and constitutes a war crime.

[14] The state is in origin a product of war and exists primarily as an enforced peace between conquerors and conquered.

[15] From slavery and from conquest, another result of war, sprang differentiation of classes and occupations termed the division of labour.
