Oh, thank you. I guess then I don't know how to annex. I feel like the World War will only let you annex until one or a couple of the major powers is defeated? I haven't got that far yet. I'm playing as Germany and wondering when all the resistance will end. I'm trying to conquer Russia. It's really hurting.When you occupy the land, resistance will always grow, but will be limited by a couple things, most notably, your occupation policies. When you ANNEX it though, BAM, there is magically no resistance for some reason.
