Mexico seems to do pretty well 😁
Laugh aside. I think that one will find that the ONLY way to ever take over another country for a longer duration, is by providing a better society and you will still not be able to have anything else than the jurisdiction.
In small context, visit Napoli or Sardinia they still even have their own languages and don't identify as Italian first.
Take all the invasion wars by the west for the last 100 years. Even poor Afghanistan, with the full force of all of NATO nothing ever changed and we had to leave with the tail beneath the legs.
It's a media created illusion that wars can win nations, with the sole purpose of justifying wars. You can temporarily suppress a people by war, but you will never win them over and that's a very expensive endeavor that only lasts for so long.
