I know some in Guatemala would take issue with being on the "never invaded by the British" list (what with historical status and borders of British Honduras, now Belize).

I should probably add that I personally support the independence and territorial integrity of Belize, whatever dubious history centuries ago.
I'm just noting that some in Guatemala profess to consider it an unresolved issue.

I’m in doubt that this fact will change their mindset.

@ChrisMayLA6
I used to quote the figures, how much net repatriation into the UK we'd have if everyone sent their immigrants back.
But facts don't matter to some people. -
We invaded, wiped out languages, cultures etc. Immigrants here bring such riches to us.
-
@ChrisMayLA6 Perhaps more important is that we've benefitted from migrants, not lost anything. We needed them, so they came. We still need them, but we try to stop them coming.

@ChrisMayLA6 I agree with your point that people should know more about history, but the map is BS. Greetings from never invaded Switzerland

we sent troops to greece, but alongside greeks, not fighting them. We did do things to Goa, but the madeira stuff was with the portugese Govs permission.

@Infrogmation @ChrisMayLA6 We had an English pope (who is part of the fault for the Ireland mess) so surely we took over Vatican City at some point.

ha ha, and now we are into the definitional issue of what we mean by 'invasion'
-
@ChrisMayLA6 Yeah this map is nonsense. It counts any "instances of military presence" and everything where the UK has "fought conflicts in the territory". By the logic of this map, Estonia for example has "invaded" dozens of countries.

Yes the designer of the map has (shall we say) a 'permissive' definition of 'invasion'

Yes, without methodology, definitions, or sourcing, the map is pretty useless.
Switzerland? About the only thing close I could think of were the WWII RAF bombers that flew to Switzerland by navigational mistake?

@ChrisMayLA6 Sadly anti-immigrant rhetoric and support for imperialism come from the same supremacist belief that British and other white European cultures are superior to all other cultures. It's not enough to make the connection between imperialism and immigration, you also have to humanize all the victims of colonialism by educating your communities.

Yes, what's interesting is that when that is tried (and often successfully) the Right claim its 'rewriting history' when of course actually its retuning history to what it should be after a protracted period when it *was* rewritten

I remember sitting at an “English pub” in Mallorca, Spain during the Brexit vote and listening to an English woman, who was working and living in sunny Mallorca, explain to me that she believed that her culture needed to be preserved at home. I simply pointed out the obvious hypocrisy of her position, both politically and physically. I believe I just simply said, “You’re in a fake English pub in Spain, speaking English and complaining about preserving your culture.” She didn’t get it.

Io non ho capito se Hades II lo porto avanti perché mi va o se è diventata sindrome di Stoccolma.

Happy #MLKDay2026 ! Before the US banned Hawaiian language & culture, Hawaii had true equality for Black people. Former slaves like Anthony Allen came to Hawaii, prospered & helped build schools, hospitals & started Hawaii's first bowling alley. #MartinLutherKingJr
