WORD - Need help! Argh!

[Countess]

I started this thread to get help for a word but figured it could be a permanent thread for anyone who is struggling to find that "right" word that eludes them in the moment. So, if you need word help, post.

I hate this. I'm looking for a word but I can't find it. It starts with an "I" and it means to go in and take over a country/nation. It's not infiltration or insurgence, it's...

...anybody know the word I'm looking for? Please help!

Thanks!
