How about this? As a hegemony expands, some of what formerly would not have been considered its property, soon will be.

as a hegemony expands, some part of which ( not 'what' because the conjunction hinges on 'part', not a verb) formerly would not have been considered properly, soon will be.
i do not like this sentence.

as a hegemony expands,some parts of it, the affiliation of which with the hegemony was not recognised formerly, soon will be acknowledged as its legitime territory .

a little change made on davkett 's version.

"as a hegemony expands,some parts of it, the affiliation of which with the hegemony was not recognised formerly, soon will be acknowledged as its legitime territory ."

'as a hegemony expands, some of which formerly would not have been considered its property, soon will be.'
this is not my version.

as a hegemony expands, some parts of it, the unity of which under the hegemony is not a black and white issue, soon will be acknowledged being hegemonial territories. too much hegemony because i do not know a synonym.
this is my version..

Try this:

As a hegemony expands, it will gradually gain property which formerly would have belonged to others.

There's no need to make the thought so 'convoluted.'

yeah, i like yours more.
gain property - i have not heard this phrase before.
anyway, i started self-study english from scratch about 30 months ago.

'as a hegemony expands, some of what not used to be considered as its property will be'

used not be(archaic flavor) or did not use to be!

'will be' at the end hinges on what?

for my money, grammatically this sentence suffers many illnesses.

sorry, I couldn't post due to some unknow technical error on this forum.

anyway what I want to say is:

As a hegemony expands, things that didn't belong to the hegemony might be claimed as its property later.

what I can come up with right now is:

As a hegemony expands, things formerly not considered as its property might .... later.

what should i fill
