how else would someone become the Merlin?

The white council might not be strong enough to outright claim territory, but they could support another's claim, one more in line with their agenda.

That is not nothing, but it is not enough to keep the territory by itself. If the White Council lacks the strength or will to defend the territory, other supernatural races WILL move in and take over the territory. The supernatural races are almost all predators after all.
I think if conditions were different, the White Council could probably claim and keep a big chunk of the captured territory, but even under ideal conditions the White Council would have lacked the numbers/strength to hold ALL the former Red Court's territory. After all, it would be a doubling of the size of White Council territory (which is mostly Europe and North America prior to the war) and it is not exactly easy to govern either (dysfunctional governments, criminal gangs, power vacuums, income disparities, ect). That is an awful lot to absorb and defend even if conditions were ideal. And things are certainly NOT ideal now.

What would the council want with territory? All of the WC wizards we've seen on-screen have had a personal domain or area and couldn't really care about the rest. Half the Senior Council seem to have no interests in material wealth at all.
Froklsnt:
Have the white council ever taken any explicit pro-mortal actions, except against warlocks? We're accustomed to thinking of Harry as the defender of mankind, but does the council have any such stance officially? Several of us are talking like the council cares deeply. The only evidence I can think of is White Night, protecting those who might one day have White Council level progeny.

Maybe less pro-mortal, even though they are mortal, and more anti-supernatural.
