"Military occupation and annexation"
The categories of these two nouns are not the same and the description is therefore not grammatically sound. From Merriam-Webster: In other words, annexation describes the process while military occupation describes the result. The equivalent terms, with the same categorisations and points in time, would be: "Annexation" in particular is the odd word out. An annexation happens and produces an annexed territory; it is not a continual process like a military occupation. Yue 🌙 03:05, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
