Succession of states theory
The succession of states theory states that all posessions and territory held by a state are automatically transferred to the state which succeeds it.
This theory has its root in 19th century diplomacy. Some critics argue the succession theory is weak for it allows few boundaries between eras allowing archaic claims to subvert popular will.
