To distinguish Chad and Romania, Romania should add the UK flag in a corner (like New Zealand)
22 countries have never been invaded by the British yet.
Horseshit, half the countries in the world didn’t even bother getting around to existing until long after the British put the great project on pause
Hmmm.
When were Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain , Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Austria or Romania invaded by the British?
France and Britain have a long history of warfare.
I think it would be easier to list the periods where France and Britain were NOT at war which each other rather than the opposite.
Amazing insight…
Warfare and invasion are not the same thing.
Ignoring history and being pedant on the Internet are not the same thing. But you’re doing a good job at both.
Are you saying the British never sent troops into French territory? Any incursion by armed forces into another state’s territory is the very definition of invasion.
You’re trying to be a pedant, yet you appear foolish.
There’s been a lot of occupation as well. E.g. the hundred year war.
If we can say Russia invaded Ukraine, England invaded France
Germany, and probably Austria: World War 2
At the time the Netherlands and Belgium were occupied by Germany. Don’t know if that counts.
France: Probably during the Hundred Years’ war.
Italy, probably WW2 too (operation dragoon)
Maybe they are counting any wars where the British fought? If so, the two world wars would account for a lot of it.
Still Switzerland? We weren’t invaded in WW2 or WW1.
Switzerland was a part of the wars of the 2nd, 5th and 6th coalition against Napoleon against the British.
Parts of probably, e.g. Gibraltar
The Britain’s invaded Britain. Power move.
That’s the American Revolution.
So many times depending on who you trace modern Brits to. Romans invaded the Celts. Saxons invaded the Romans. Normans invaded the Saxons. And that’s just England. Wales and Scotland could probably come up with another dozen plus examples between them
Finland, as we were part of the non-invaded Sweden
Their politics still sucks to this day.
Well, The British? What do you have to say for yourselves?!
US?
Edit: I am incorrect. I didn’t see the “never” in the title.
Pretty sure the British never invaded South Sudan…
Beware of wikihole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Egyptian_Sudan
Don’t rush them! They’re doing their best. If anything, the Tories have been working with US Republicans to get things back on track.
The Brit fears the Mongolian
British are pretty welcome. Bring tea, cookies and the office guy. :)
Heheh…No they aren’t.
