In the history of the world, has one country ever permanently changed another country to the form it wanted through military might followed by occupation?

Yes, many examples from the days of early civilisations. Not too many in this age. But one thing in common, there is no permanence. You will find the odd revolt or uprising. Identity cannot be changed by force. In more recent days, occupation often breeds insurgency.... Iraq is best example.

You mean like, ummm... our own country? We invaded and occupied the country from it's native orgins, and created a pretty powerful nation. How about the occupation of Germany post WWII, we allowed them to install a democratic form of government after utterly defeating them. Texans defeated the Mexicans on their land and claimed it. Should I go on or is that enough for starters?
