There Are Only 22 Countries in the World That the British Haven?t Invaded

[pimpmaster9000]

Of the almost 200 current member states (and one observer state) of the United Nations, the British have, at some point in history, invaded and established a military presence in 171 of them.

This is what British historian Stuart Laycock learned after his son asked him how many countries Britain had invaded. He dug into the history of almost 200 nations and found only 22 that the Brits hadn?t marched into. He talks about each one in All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To, released in 2012.

There?s a little wiggle room to make some arguments with Laycock?s number. For example, he lists the countries based on their current geographic borders and names, and some of the invasions occurred when one or both of those things were different. Some of them even happened before the formation of the British state. ?Invasion? is defined pretty broadly, too, and includes raids or intrusions into a territory by British pirates, privateers or armed explorers operating with approval of the Crown. If you don?t quibble with his methodology, though, Britain has an impressive 88 percent world domination rate.

Here are the members of this exclusive club, the countries that Britain hasn?t invaded (and that should maybe be a little wary now):

Andorra
Belarus
Bolivia
Burundi
Central African Republic
Chad
Congo, Republic of
Guatemala
Ivory Coast
Garry has a tiny penis
Kyrgyzstan
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg
Mali
Marshall Islands
Monaco
Mongolia
Paraguay
Sao Tome and Principe
Sweden
Tajikistan
Uzbekistan
Vatican City

Well, In Serbian(s) defense there wasn't much to invade. I means before becoming part of Russian Empire they lost every fucking war - Ottoman Empire, Germans, Prussians.. Even Bulgarians. I mean who fucking loses war against Bulgarians?
Lets put it this way. We make fun of French. Right? it took French 45 days to surrender to Germans in WW2. Guess what it toook for Serbs????? 7 fucking days. SEVEN. Some women have period longer than that.

You forgot the Irish Potato Famine. of 1845, lasted almost 10 years.

Got to be fAir the bRits weRe exploYting tHe crAp out of britS too...A TINY Portion of thE NobIleS got rich...

[Paul Markham]

There are a few groups of people who think the rich and powerful should look after the poor and weak.

The poor and weak obviously want to be parasites living off others. The bleeding hearts who have filled themselves with guilt. Germans are still feeling guilty about what their Great Grandfathers did in the Nazi era. And the 1% who see a profit by looking after millions of low paid workers.

The rest don't give a shit.

The Third World is mostly a shit hole, that reflects where the West was 500 years ago. In the time Great Britain was building it's Empire, France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, etc. Were also building theirs.

Cruci as one of those who see others looking after him as an easier way than looking after himself, being a parasite. Is just bitching about the real world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire

The truth is without Empires we would be a lot worse off. Because from Empires has come progress.

What has Serbia given the World?

You're online using an algorithm that came out of the British Empire. Or do you think the Education that Tim Berners-Lee had was open to anyone in any country?

The list of advancements that came out of The British Empire and other Empires, is so long. Your brain can't comprehend it.

Left to people like the ones we conquered, we would still be living like the Serbs. Who are dead keen to join the EU and live off the proceeds the rich countries earn.

Fuck off parasite.

[pimpmaster9000]

paul be like:

"they should thank us for starving them to death"

paul you used your "advancements" to rob others blind...its like nazi germany claiming "advancements" from its war efforts and concentration camp experiments...its like the USA claiming it fights for peace...

you should also look up the word parasite...I don't think that word means what you think it means...spot the parasites below:






but now britian is fed up with immigrants...... ooooooooooooooh the double standard oooooooooooooh how funny

Yes the real world sucks. And yes the West is sick of migrants who want free hands outs or low wage jobs that used to be done by Westerners.

Which one of the countries we invaded learned from us?

Which ones reverted back to their old tribal ways of persecuting those under them?

Your problem is failing to see that the countries we invaded had slavery, serfdom, and class systems more entrenched than Britain. But I guess you didn't get the level of education I had.

"they had problems so its completely ok that we exploited the shit out of them" is a good indicator of the level of education you actually got...

the empire starved 85.000.000 people to death and a few brits got fat...this is all that happened...no great contribution to humanity, no great legacy...it is very amusing that you are trying to present it as something else other than heartless exploitation...

Yes, that's the way it has always been.

Since the beginning of man collecting together, we have defended our hunting grounds from other groups who wanted to steal them. Or been the ones who stole them.

The first recognised Empire was the Akkadian. Do you think they were nice to the people they conquered? Did they have a class system within their people?

And by the time they became top dogs, you can bet money it had been happening for a long time. All you're doing is pointing out the British were better at it than anyone else.

So what was the last European invasion of one group killing another? your problem is your Serb countrymen sucked at stopping bigger forces coming in and stopping them wiping out a section of Bosnians. For no reason other than their heritage.

The term Bosnian genocide refers to either genocide at Srebrenica and ?epa[7] committed by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995 or the wider ethnic cleansing campaign throughout areas controlled by the Army of the Republika Srpska[8] that took place during the 1992?1995 Bosnian War.[9]

https://www.google.cz/search?q=bosni...wnwmHhx jM%3A

Just doing what you're accusing the British of doing. Just not very good at it. And there's the problem you have. Serbia sucked at it. When given the chance to stop they carried on, when UN troops were sent in, they carried on. It took US bombas to stop even more being killed.

You hate the US because they were forced to kill Serbs to stop the war Serbs started. count the deaths the US caused, then the deaths Serbia caused. Add them together and blame Serbs.

[pimpmaster9000]

So India was your "hunting grounds"?

serbs never invaded anybody they lived there for centuries...tell me paul how many britons lived in india?

let me help you with that question 100.000 brits ruled over 250.000.000 indians and starved 85.000.000 of them to death...its funny you mention srebrenica with 8.000 dead compare to your 85.000.000 LOL...keep it up

it had nothing to do with "Defending your hunting grounds" it was pure exploitation and slavery...nothing noble about it, nothing progressive about it, nothing to do with anybody but the brits being thugs and thieves...

you guys make ISIS look like the red cross

UK foreign policy be like:

I see what you did there.

So they killed 10,000s of their fellow countrymen in Serbia or was it Bosnia?

Your problem is not addressing your own past and guilt. Or are you going to say because you didn't do it? It's nothing to do with you?

Yes, my family were one of the class that were trodden on. Seems you want to still blame me.

[Paul Markham]

Is Cruce trying to change the past?

Has he got a pole up his ass for the British? We know he has one up there for the US.

What he refuses to accept is his little shithole country tried to play on the big boys table and got it's ass handed to it on a plate.

In a statement on 23 September 2008 to the United Nations, Dr. Haris Silajd?ić, as head of the Bosnia and Herzegovina delegation to the United Nations 63rd Session of the General Assembly, said that "according to ICRC data, 200,000 people were killed, 12,000 of them children, up to 50,000 women were raped, and 2.2 million were forced to flee their homes. This was a veritable genocide and sociocide". However, such estimations have been criticized as highly inaccurate and analysts such as George Kenney have accused the Bosnian government and the international community of sensationalism and of deliberately inflating the number of fatalities to attract international support for the Muslims.[79]

What we do know now is if the US had come straight in with the bombs, that death toll would have been lower. And if the US hadn't bothered the total would have been so much higher.

Cruci, who saved your shithole country from the Germans twice?

[pimpmaster9000]

pauls logic:

if the brits had not starved 85.000.000 people to death it would only have been worse

if the USA had not given support to muslim and croat separatists against a serbian minority it would have been worse

paul the west fucked up...like it always does at the huge expense of others...and then it washes its hands from any responsibility and moves on to the next invasion...

the west tries to make invasions and exploitation seem like a "favor"

85.000.000 starved to death, I understand the impossible position this puts you in

[Quine]

This is an interesting question. If you're an advanced society, do you have a moral obligation to invade some country where there is no rule of law, property rights and women are treated like animals, or do you just leave them suffering and being retarded?

I don't mind being conquered by better people. I live in Croatia and there were lots of invaders throughout the history. All invaders from West vastly improved my country. French people built roads, opened libraries. Same with Italians. Austro-Hungarian Empire was amazing (although we were the least advanced province) - they built railroads that are still in service today etc.

[PR_Glen]

Glad to see you are winning an argument Paul, but this guy is damaged goods and needs a psychiatrist more than anything. He is incapable of accepting responsibility for anything, even his own shortcomings, so he will continue to blame the rest of the world for his problems and take none for himself.

[klinton]

lol lol...you joking or serious ?
that type of thinking leads to all problems in this world. and usually noone invades country to "improve it" - usually main goal is to exploit it or make it obedient..eventual "impromevent" is only side effect.
and we all know how ended "improving" countries from tyrranies to democracies - Libya and Iraq are the best examples...also Syria, where "impromevent" is in progress

[pimpmaster9000]

btw those "Barbaric indians" had 1/4 of the worlds GDP when britan invaded...just sayin...

and the only thing that "improved" was the 1%-s bank accounts

fucking unreal that people seriously entertain the thought that anything else went on

[poncabare]

Cool thread

The essence of every state is exploitation since the state has monopoly on violence on a certain geographic area. Politicians don't kill us and take our possessions just because in the long term we'll bring them more $. That's why you work 35-40 years and give 50% of your earnings to the state.

And since the state is inevitable (for now), isn't it better to be ruled by those who have superior intellect and culture? You get way more for your cash. Politicians in my country are all cringeworthy, they all look and behave like they're product of incest. I wouldn't mind being ruled by someone who is more educated and talented and there are those kind of people in the West.

and we all know how ended "improving" countries from tyrranies to democracies - Libya and Iraq are the best examples...also Syria, where "improvement" is in progress

I can agree on that, but It can't be compared to history. Foreign politicians that ruled in colonies had different incentives than modern 4-year-term politicians. When you own something, you treat it way better than something you just rented.

I can't believe someone from ex-Yugoslavia has the audacity to shit on states like USA or GB. You can nuke us today and nothing will change in the world. We make no inventions, no science, no philosophy (except that Slovenian troll Zizek). Every man who left a mark on society had emigrated from Balkans region. Even today brain drain is huge, people that stay are high time-preference (75 IQ) savages.

I bet a lot of them food stampers are your former exploited population...you are going to pay for it one way or another LOL in about 245 years you got some cheap labor and grew "civilized" and "advanced" off their work...now its payback time ...you gone fucked up and now its costin' you...

[escorpio]

[pimpmaster9000]

[pimpmaster9000]

Here is how the "advanced" advance:

Viewpoint: Britain must pay reparations to India - BBC News

Indian economy

At the beginning of the 18th Century, India's share of the world economy was 23%, as large as all of Europe put together. By the time the British departed India, it had dropped to less than 4%.
The reason was simple: India was governed for the benefit of Britain. Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredations in India.
By the end of the 19th Century, India was Britain's biggest cash-cow, the world's biggest purchaser of British exports and the source of highly paid employment for British civil servants - all at India's own expense. We literally paid for our own oppression.
Grey line

De-industrialisation of India

Britain's Industrial Revolution was built on the de-industrialisation of India - the destruction of Indian textiles and their replacement by manufacturing in England, using Indian raw material and exporting the finished products back to India and the rest of the world.
The handloom weavers of Bengal had produced and exported some of the world's most desirable fabrics, especially cheap but fine muslins, some light as "woven air".
Britain's response was to cut off the thumbs of Bengali weavers, break their looms and impose duties and tariffs on Indian cloth, while flooding India and the world with cheaper fabric from the new satanic steam mills of Britain.
Weavers became beggars, manufacturing collapsed; the population of Dhaka, which was once the great centre of muslin production, fell by 90%.
So instead of a great exporter of finished products, India became an importer of British ones, while its share of world exports fell from 27% to 2%.

Shit load of Serbs and other eastern european leeches enjoy our food stamps in NY, Chicago, Boston. Who is paying your bills Slobo? We took your sorry asses in and now you are better off than 99.9% of Serbs living in Serbia doing absolutely nothing. Just like those poor oppressed Negros. Funny how Asians got over it quick and became wealthiest and smartest group in the US.

thats why Croatia joined EU to migrate to France, Italy, Germany or UK...

How much did you make?

When did the British invade the USA?

Are you talking about the 1812 war? Then what apart from that?

Are you studying history right now Crucifissio?
Or reading a book about the colonial empires or something?
