Property seized from an enemy during wartime is typically referred to as "spoils of war." This can include a wide range of assets, such as land, resources, military equipment, and other valuables taken from the defeated opponent. The legal and ethical implications of such seizures can vary, often governed by international law, including treaties like the Hague Conventions. Historically, the practice has been justified as a means of weakening the enemy and compensating for the costs of war, though it can lead to contentious disputes and long-term consequences.
