Which theory of governments was first imposed by force?

The theory of government that was first imposed by force is the "Social Contract Theory," particularly in its Hobbesian form. Thomas Hobbes argued that in a state of nature, life was "nasty, brutish, and short," leading individuals to consent to surrender some freedoms to a sovereign authority for protection and order, often established through coercion. This concept illustrates how governments, particularly in their early forms, were often established through the imposition of power rather than democratic consensus.
