According to researchers, people from Great Britain have invaded 90% of all countries at some point in time. In fact, only 22 current countries have never been invaded by Great Britain, including Luxembourg, Mali and Sweden. Not all of these invasions were by Britain's military. The 90% figure includes government-approved attacks and raids by explorers or pirates. Some of the invasions took place before Great Britain was a unified country, and some of the invaders were Roman soldiers in Britain.
