Take possession of territory by conquest or occupation (5)

I believe the answer is:

annex

(Other definitions for annex that I've seen before include "Grab" , "Seize" , "Take possession of (territory)" , "Add to the end; take possession of" , "Take (land) by conquest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
