reannexed
Absorbed land again
Reannexed means annexed again—brought back under political control after a previous annexation had been undone or disputed.
The term typically appears in historical or geopolitical contexts: Russia reannexed Crimea in 2014, having controlled it before 1954.
The prefix re- emphasizes the restoration of a prior territorial claim.
