Your question not so clear to me, but countries own land
because people lives on those lands.

Now if you talking about a country invading
another country, well, that's called, stealing.

Dedovix: Military power


The first thing that came to my mind was military power and it seems that way since 5,555 + years ago.

Is humanity in this time still in a barbarian state Boban?

Military power and stealing would be good "sinónimos".

In a way, yes ,but not cause we haven`t evolved beyond this stage,its because we are not allowed to fully develop our spirituality , capacity ,knowledge which isn`t based on greed

Hands down (standing army at the ready, missles, catapaults pointed},...MILITARY POWER! Type "war" into google and the fact that land/territory seems to rank as #1 gives impetus to my answer,...I "own"and because it cannot be "taken" away from me other than by "force"

Yup,...no matter what premise is put forth that declares ownership of a territory, not only humans, but all living things defend their percieved territory. Considering that for the most part, the male of a species is the designated "defender",...yeah,...testosterone,....at least for male vertebrates.

Eminent Domain
The power to take private property for public use by a state, municipality, or private person or corporation authorized to exercise functions of public character, following the payment of just compensation to the owner of that property.

Federal, state, and local governments may take private property through their power of eminent domain or may regulate it by exercising their Police Power. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires the government to provide just compensation to the owner of the private property to be taken. A variety of property rights are subject to eminent domain, such as air, water, and land rights. The government takes private property through condemnation proceedings. Throughout these proceedings, the property owner has the right of due process.

Eminent domain is a challenging area for the courts, which have struggled with the question of whether the regulation of property, rather than its acquisition, is a taking requiring just compensation. In addition, private property owners have begun to initiate actions against the government in a kind of proceeding called inverse condemnation.

That may enable them to takeover a Country but does it actually give them the right to?

hiya wave lifeisadream

i think, historically..'might is right' and gets to keep control and the goodies which includes land.

a different view might be that everything is interconnected...we're all here together. with that said, a focus towards good stewardship of the land promotes a healthy environment, which also supports healthy folks....

.....all connected. it doesn't matter if i hurt you, or you hurt me..it's all the same...part of the bigger unity.

Unfortunately, yes. If you do not feel the invaders with the military might do not have the right, how do you inform them otherwise,.....through an even greater military strength.

Cultural inheritance and history grant the right.
Spilled blood, solidarity and a strong deterrent are what secure this right.

It might be interesting to look at the historical emergence of some countries.

Canada formed in a different way than did the United States. and from what I have been reading that Americans fighters and militia were vastly underfunding, and outgunned by the British. Washington lost many battles at the beginning.

So what is the birth of Canada, one hundred years later, with all the British loyalists heading north - the battle on the plains of Abraham in 1812 ..... then what?

The largest military does not necessarily win countries.
