snorkle - What do you call the Comanche victory and slaughter over the Apache? Was there a legal annexation?
Yep - conquest, in international law, was the legal acquisition (or annexation) of territory through force.
What do you call the U.S. takeover of Mexican Territory? Was there a legal annexation?
You mean the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848? Or are you vaguely gesturing at something else?
What about the Hawaiians dropping thousands of bombs on civilians in the Mid-East? Oh wait; that was a civilized society. Was there a legal annexation?...
When? Where? WTF? Given that native Hawaiians serve in the U.S. military, then yes some of them probably helped bomb civilians during various armed conflicts in the Middle East (and we all helped pay for it - go team). As for annexation, depends on whatever you going are on about, but there's not a lot of U.S. territory in the Middle East.
Oh and yeah, road's open. Now for public access...
