It appears that Britain has 'invaded' 90% of the world...

So some guy decides to count how much military campaigns we Britons had. It turns out that we have had military in over 9 out of 10 countries in the world, this includes all places where we had a military presence either by force, the threat of force, negotiation or payment.

Instead of naming all the countries we 'invaded', I'll just list the ones we haven't:

Andorra, Belarus, Bolivia, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Rupublic of Congo, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Liechenstein, Luxembourg, Mali, Marshall Islands, Monoco, Mongolia, Paraguay, Sao Tome and Principe, Sweden, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Vatican City.

We probably haven't invaded these countries due to either (1) we didn't know they existed, or (2) they weren't worth invading.

Right, but that 10% they didn't invade successfully is the USA.

Correction, we had successfully invaded America, we just didn't stick around. Don't be so ignorant to believe that the USA accounts for 10% of the world.

Because war was fun in those days. Then America has to spoil it all with their nuclear weapons.

I dont understand how you can joke about war? People are suffering and dying and you joke about it, I would like to see you when Britain gets invaded from all the side and you get bombarded, how would you feel? would you joke about it?

Take this debate seriously or its not worth to even look at it!

After countless of Sundays..., they have yet to attack Chad..., on Sunday ;)

Side: ...and that is bad.

I was about so say something punny about Britain invading Chad... should've known you'd beat me to the punch.

Side: ...and that is bad.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning ;)

Well, it wouldn't be proper to go to war on a Sunday. So I guess such a task is unacheivable.

Side: ...and that is bad.

Fine. I'll support any other day of the week. ;)

And yet you somehow managed to not conquer Sealand.

Is Sealand a recognised sovereign nation by the UN?

It appears not...

And anyway, Britain built Sealand as a military fort. So we did actually have a military presence in Sealand, it was just before Sealand was established.

Side: ...and that is good.

Diplomats were sent to Sealand to negotiate the release of prisoners of war after, I think Denmark, tried to take control of Sealand. The act of sending ambassadors for negotiations shows that at least said nations who sent the ambassadors consider Sealand a sovereign nation.
