when a nation is a victor in war
there are still many difficulties to
resolve especially if territories are
also captured during the war
a thousand wars and a thousand
approaches how to manage the
absorbed populations
a few armies simply killed everyone
other armies incorporated the new
populaces into their military might
others set up enclaves to allow semi
self governance by the captured
themselves
many other formulas as well but all
of them have their faults
some were even liberating for the
populations
for example, cyrus the great when
defeating babylon, sent the jewish
part of the babylonian population
back to jerusalem to rebuild their
city and temple
