British have invaded nine out of ten countriesWhen did they invade Portugal or the Dutch Republic? Since when are expeditionary missions considered an invasion?How is protecting shipping routes and ports defined as an invasion?Is colonization an invasion?
I don't think it was the author of the article who came up with that idea, but the book he's covering. And here's one important tidibit:
So, many countries which once formed part of the Spanish empire and seem to have little historical connection with the UK, such as Costa Rica, Ecuador and El Salvador, make the list because of the repeated raids they suffered from state-sanctioned British sailors.
So yeah, "invaded" is probably defined pretty loosely.
