Homonym: Invasion (Incursion)
An "invasion" refers to the act of entering a place or territory with the intent to conquer or occupy it. This can occur in various contexts, such as military actions where one country, like Russia, invades another country, like Ukraine. Invasions can also happen in nature, such as when non-native species invade an ecosystem, disrupting local wildlife.
Invasions can lead to significant changes in the affected area, often resulting in conflict, displacement, and changes in governance. Historical examples include the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 and the D-Day invasion during World War II. Each invasion has lasting impacts on culture, politics, and society.
