    Might need both, invading wouldn’t necessarily mean laying claim to the land as a state. For example the US invaded Iraq but they didn’t try to incorporate it in the US.

      Fair. I preferred “invade” for its more negative connotation., but you’re right about its possibly lacking denotation.
