Enlargement of territory

Enlargement of territory refers to the process by which a country expands its land area, often through the acquisition of neighboring regions or territories. This can happen via peaceful agreements, treaties, purchases, or sometimes through conflict or war. The goal is usually to increase the nation's resources, strategic position, or population. It has historically played a key role in shaping nations’ borders and influencing regional power dynamics, reflecting an active effort to grow geographically beyond existing boundaries.
