Abstract
Military occupation is a step victors may take toward order and peace. Occupation serves several political purposes: allocation of resources; assurance of victory in arranging a postwar world favorable to oneself; and, finally, establishing peace. Occupation may be used among coalition allies to restrict dismantling and exportation of capital equipment by any one of them. Serious tensions exist between planning for occupation and occupation in fact. Disagreements between the military and civilians as to who will determine the nature, scope, domain, direction, and duration of the occupation may run deep. Occupation may be affected by an occupied territory's state of development and by the degree to which it has political, social, and economic cohesion. While these may be objective data, occupiers will be moved by their estimates of the degree of modernization and coherence as well as by ideological and demographic factors.
