Pongy  +  958994 Sun, 01 Nov 09 03:53 PM Hello, I've been google-ing and searching all over the internet for the meaning of the phrase "Forcible Occupation" but I can't seem to find a proper answer. Please can anyone enlighten me about this one? Thank you so much in advance. Pongy Joined on Sat, Nov 17 2007 Thailand New Member 21

I'd say "forcible occupation" would be the direct result of an invasion by a foreign power.
