Hi, currently the news is talking about the handover of Iraq. What is the difference between a handover and a takeover?

Hi Adreana,

The term takeover is used when a company buys another company or a political party takes control of a country.
A handover is the act of giving away control or giving up authority. It is also used during a broadcast to indicate that another anchor or newsreader should continue.
