Conquering provinces as minor country

[Kubusta]

Could you explain me, please, how the game works when me, as a Mongolia lets say, will fight with USSR troops together? Who will occupy the land we are fighting for?
I know that Daniel (in WWW stream) asked Lithuania for giving him certain territories, but I doubt that a minor country could ask a major nation (ai) for a land to give to me as a minor.
Because I am sure that if I fought close to my borders alone, i would normally occupied more territories if I were sucessful, I would get factories etc etc. But if USSR (in my mongolian case) helped me to fight there with more troops, who would gain the terrotiry? Cause it seems to me that then if I decide to play a minor nation, I will be small all the time I will be playing cause without some help I will not be able to conquer any land.
Thanks for answering

Whoever comes there first gets it - however, you're correct, it's possible to transfer control between friendly countries. It was revealed in the diplomacy DD that transferring provinces won't impact war contribution score though - if Lithuania does the conquering, they get to use those gains in peace conference even if they hand occupation to the Axis. It was also said that the AI will hand out territory quite gladly if you're doing "the heavy lifting in the war".

Then onwards to my personal conjecture - since a big purpose of the feature is to make borders look better for the humans, I assume there's a quite large plus modifier for AI acceptance simply for a human player requesting to take over a territory. I also think the AI is more willing to give territory to smaller countries because they need the increased IC more.

Score and claim is probably two big factors. Whoever logically deserves it will probably get it, in order to minimize bordergore.

Thanks for answers. I just wanna know if I am able to grow bigger even if I have less troops fighting. As Kviri said, it would mean that if I start the battle I will then get the territory, tho I dunno how that works with automatical fighting by battleplans.
also one more questiion, can air join to my troops? something like in eu IV _ Attach to this unit?
