Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -annexation, a formal act whereby a state proclaims its sovereignty over territory hitherto outside its domain. Unlike cession, whereby territory is given or sold through treaty, annexation is a unilateral act made effective by actual possession and legitimized by general recognition.

Detailed explanation-2: -Annexation is the process of bringing property into the City limits. It is one of the primary means by which cities grow. Cities annex territory to provide urbanizing areas with municipal services and to exercise regulatory authority necessary to protect public health and safety.

Detailed explanation-3: -Annexation, in international law, is the forcible acquisition of one state’s territory by another state, usually following military occupation of the territory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Annexation occurs when one state claims sovereignty over a territory and that claim is recognized. This makes it different than a formal treaty that transfers territory from one state to another. For example, the United States gained a huge chunk of land in 1803 called Louisiana.
