annexationists
Advocates for incorporation
Annexationists are people who advocate for annexation—the incorporation of territory into an existing political entity.
The term typically appears in historical contexts: nineteenth-century American annexationists pushed for acquiring Texas, Hawaii, and other territories.
The annexationists argued that expansion was the nation's destiny.
