conquered land
Vanquished nation's soil
Conquered land is territory seized through military victory or forceful takeover.
The phrase emphasizes that the land was taken by force rather than purchased, inherited, or settled peacefully: The empire divided the conquered land among its generals.
It often carries implications about the displacement or subjugation of previous inhabitants.
