Military occupation
(Redirected from Occupying power)
Military or belligerent occupation is a control by a certain ruling power over a territory, which is not under the formal sovereignty of that entity, without the violation.[1][2][3][4] The territory is then known as the occupied territory, and the ruling power is the occupant.[5]
