Based on a tip from a reader this week, I found this interesting map. Stuart Laycock, a British Historian has identified that 90% of the world’s countries were at some point invaded by the British in his book: All the Countries We’ve Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To.
Not all were captured and not all became part of the Empire. It makes a fascinating image. The nations in pink were invaded or taken over in some way at some point
We did Mali earlier this year. 21 left….
I saw this map some days ago and found it interesting.
Is there a map showing a US equivalent?
@GUWonder,
I think you are missing the point. The US map really wouldn’t be very interesting I am afraid.
Amusing. And how many do they have left? 🙂
