Here’s one for you.

How many countries playing in the World Cup has England either not been at war with, invaded or captured?

I don’t know the answer - but it won’t be many.

Some guesses here:

Croatia, Poland, Brazil, Morocco, Ecuador, Serbia, Costa Rica, South Korea, Uruguay.

Crotia & Serbia - technically they would have been part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire Britain declared war on in WWI.

Coats Rica - Battle of Matina 1747.

Uruguay - River Plate Invasion & Battle of Montevideo 1806-07 covers off chompers homeland.

I’m not sure about Brazil & Ecuador - maybe through alignment to Spain & Portugal or possibly sone British involvement in the War of the Triple Alliance 1864-70.

Poland - I think gets in due to Allignment in Napelonic Wars.

South Korea - British troops there in Korean War.

Morocco - Battle of Tangier 1664

Impressive, and by that I mean your work here, not English aggression.

Yes - I am skilled in the art of typing things into Google.

I actually enjoy it - can take you down some interesting little wormholes to learn things you knew nothing about.

Obviously not the sort of wormholes Dantes/Ross found themselves going down.
 
Ecuador

Qatar

France

Some Tories believe they’re actually at war with France right now.

Qatar was a British protected state 1916-1971 & there was some British involvement in the Qatari War of Independence 1867-68.

Ecuador I’ve covered.

I did a reverse search now. Countries never invaded by Britain. Apparently only 22 in the world.

Yeah… there’s not many - they even shelled Finland!!!!

Who shells Finland???? Apart from Russians or other irate scandos.
 
You should have went with Germany.

I was planning to put Germany but then went with France. Based on my limited knowledge of history, I thought France was the historical rival of England. Wasn't England Germany relationships relatively nicer except for the 50 years between 1900 and 1950?

Only because the Royal Family were/are sort of German… probably.

Just checking Asia, other than the Central Asian countries of Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia, they invaded all other countries at some point. We are talking over 40 countries in just one continent.

See… that’s what England did before the internet - they invaded strangely named countries in far off places for shits and giggles.

Probably Brexited so that they could try to invade Europe again.

If all else fails… Ireland’s long overdue a bit of subjugation and there’s always letting Scotland have independence for 25 minutes before re-invading.
