BRITS ABROAD!



Recent research has found that Britain has invaded all but 22 countries in the world in its long imperial history. There are just under 200 countries in the world.

The only countries that Britain has not invaded are: Andorra, Belarus, Bolivia, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo Republic, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mali, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Mongolia, Paraguay, Sao Tome and Principe, Sweden, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Vatican City.

On finding that Britain has invaded 90 per cent of the world’s countries, Richard Laycock, the author of the book, All the Countries We’ve Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To, said: “I was absolutely staggered when I reached the total.... Other countries could write similar books – but they would be much shorter, although the Americans had a later start and have been working hard on it in the twentieth century.”

Are you surprised?

We were surprised that the British have not invaded Sweden?

Edwin Starr sang the classic line, “War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!”

Very true, but if Britain had invaded Sweden we would have had Abba!
