    Wait, when did Britain invade most of Europe? Are we counting WW2, because that doesn’t seem fair, since most of the invaded countries either didn’t exist at that time, or if you want to count the governments-in-exile, requested it.

      From reviews it sounds like it counts all sorts of things

      Lastly and most importantly, the facts are just wrong. A naval blockade is not an invasion. A bombing campaign is not an invasion. A uprising in the Roman empire does not count as Britain invading Croatia and Slovenia just because an army originating in the Roman province of Britannia landed in the region which, 16 centuries later, is controlled by these two countries. But hey, never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

      A lot of the reviews seemed to indicate the book wasn’t being entirely serious but either the reviewers were or they just didn’t find it funny.

        If you accept the concept of territorial waters a naval blockage actually is an invasion, but that’s irrelevant, because beyond all that bullshit this map reveals the only nation capable of defeating the British once and for all:

        Sweden. The only nation to have invaded Britain but not been invaded by Britain.

        Get your goddamn longships out of storage, Sweden, you must finish the job your ancestors left undone.
