Historically, there was the "Right to Conquest" which was a pervasive idea in political thought. The idea was that it was natural for any country or state to grow and control more territory as it grew stronger. This allowed weaker states to dissolve in place of ones that were better run, a bureaucratic version of "survival of the fittest". The "Right to Conquest" prevailed as the dominant theory of nation-building until the mid-1800s when people started bringing up the concept of self-sovereignty and ethnic nationalism, which held the idea that people should govern themselves even if they are not the most powerful in the world. This view of state sovereignty has become dominant today and the Right to Conquest is seen as incorrect.

The Muslim armies conquered Persia, Syria, Damascus, Jerusalem, and Egypt in the 7th century primarily due to a combination of military strength, political instability in the regions, and the appeal of Islamic teachings. The rapid expansion was facilitated by the weakened state of the Byzantine and Sassanian empires, which were preoccupied with internal conflicts and had exhausted their resources. Additionally, the promise of social justice, economic opportunities, and religious freedom under Islamic rule attracted many local populations to accept or support the conquerors. This expansion was part of a broader campaign to spread Islam and unify the Arabian Peninsula and beyond under a single political and religious authority.
