Moses, Sproty was actually correct with The Khanate of Khiva, I just had to look up where that was and it is now part of Uzbekistan.

I had a sneak at the answers and you'll do well to get some of those. The question also means any sailor in 1800s with a musket sailing under the crown and having fisty cuffs with a local counts but still an interesting piece of trivia

[Dutch Uncle]

Just had a look too

The Principality of Sealand (Coastal Fort/Pirate Radio station/Tax haven off the Suffolk coast) might be a 23rd, depending on country status interpretation

Here's the Map with the answers.

Brilliant thread.

Not sure I agree with Bolivia though. We sent Standanista there years back. He's such an obnoxious ugly t**t, that amounts to a declaration of war in anybody's book.

[German Rover]

Djibouti?

[jonnydog]

Djibouti?

No... It was a miss-kick!!

[DevilMayCry]

lol, that's incorrect, Romania was never invaded by Britain.

[moses]

DevilMayCry I think you are right, I cant find any evidence of an invasion of Romania my apologies. Equally I cant find any evidence of the invasion of Britain by Romanians. Both were stories in the Telegraph..

[Sprotyrover]

Djibouti?

No... It was a miss-kick!!

Think we invaded Ethiopia through Djibouti  in 1868.

[wilts rover]

lol, that's incorrect, Romania was never invaded by Britain.

You need to gen up a bit more on your history DMC, according to this website:
http://www.roconsulboston.com/Pages/InfoPages/Commentary/WW-I.html

In November of 1916, British military were sent ahead of invading troops on a secret mission to destroy oil stocks and sabotage oil wells in Ploesti.  This was successfully accomplished - much to the dismay of the Germans who had made control of Romanian oil a strategic focus of their invasion.

There were also SOE operations and bombing raids in WWII.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I assumed that "invasion" meant "belligerent action by British forces in the land, air or sea of that country". In which case, we certainly took action against Romania in WWII, bombing the Ploesti oilfields.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Wilts.

39 seconds ahead of me!

[wilts rover]

BST, you can have the WWII actions and I will take the WWI!
