You are going back 70 and a hundred years for 2 of these examples. The world has moved on. Give me an example in the last 25 years where a large developed country has taken a chunk of land off a smaller neighbour against the will of that smaller neighbour?

A simple scenario that used to be common but does not happen anymore since the world has become more civilised.

Dissolution of the USSR was actioned by the Russia the original controller of the land. Not relevant.
