Not to sound arrogant or anything, but Turkey was never conquered. If Russia had really wanted though, it could have done it, but the other imperialist powers prevented this.

The Dutch claimed the arid parts on the West and North coast they
encountered, but never colonised or exercised any control over the
country.
The British claimed the entire continent and many islands, which they
proceded to then settle. It was never a conquest, just one big land
grab. The easiest land grab in history.

I don't know about the British or Dutch, but the Portuguese
captured the Iranian port city of Hormuz. The Portuguese went around
capturing other port cities such as Goa and Bombay in India, some ports
in China, the Arabian peninsula, Africa, etc. I believe this was done during the 1600s.

Actually the land, Turkey (Anatolia) was conquered countless times by Romans, Greeks, Persians...
Turks, as a civilization, were also conquered by Mongols, Arabs, although in a different sense of conquest.
Turkey, while being ruled by Turks, was also conquered by Crusaders.

If it's only for the whole of today's Bulgarian lands:
Prehistoric Proto-Thracians Thracians Macedons? (not sure about them) Romans/Byzantines Goths (not sure about them too) Slavs/Bulgarians "Mixobarbarians" and Tatars Ottomans
Otherwise, there were also other peoples, who ruled only over some parts of modern day Bulgaria...

Depends very much whether you mean the state or the territory. Since the united Kingdom was established (1800) it has never been conquered or invaded, just as Turkey (established 1920?) hasn't been.
The Kingdom of Great Britain (est. 1707) wasn't either, though there were a couple of civil war outbreaks.
It's more or less anyone's guess when the Kingdom of England was established (try googling on "first king of England"), so who invaded or conquered it or parts of it is also up for grabs.
For the territory currently covered by the United Kingdom, Earl Aster is roughly right, but he leaves out the Britons, and how the Dutch get in there I don't know.
PS: with regard to Iran, Britain and Russia are in the list because they invaded during WW2 and split it between two zones of control.

Oh! So you mean for the one Specific country! Sorry , i thought that you were just generally speaking about "The Land of Great Britain" not one specific state.
I'm pretty sure that the Dutch did "Conquer" (Not militarily though) Britian. The British acutally invited Willam III over to occupy because they did not think that the previous monarch (James II i think) was doing a good job. This occupation was, some say essential for the development of the British Empire, as we managed to obtain the economic systems of the Dutch which helped us to take large loans on low interest rates to construct naval ships with. The Dutch also stopped competing with us for the Spice trade in India after this, and took other trades insted.

That's incorrect, ever since Turkey was opened to Turks proper after the battle of Malazgirt the Turks have never been "conquered" by non-Turks. The Arabs never conquered and had no reason to the Abode of Islam had been enlargened. The Timurids were Turks so it was Turks ruling Turks and also Timurids gave power to the Turkmen beyliks which gave more power to the ordinary Turks.
The Crusaders "occupied" specific ports and coastal towns but never conquered the area whole.
Turks as a nation in Anatolia were never conquered by non-Turks. However, in World War One, Brittish, Greeks, Armenians, Russians, French all took a part and ruled for a very brief war-time period.

Cyrus wanted to name all Turks tribe by name, which have conquered Iran. And my friend Scythians were not Turks, they were an Iranic tribe. We have disscussed this fact zilions of times in this forum, you should search.

That was what I meant, Turkish Anatolia as a nation, was never conquered.

Good one. I missed that. I'm tempted then to say Hanover, but don't think you can count the Hanoverian takeover in the same way, because George I was simply the legitimate heir. (So of course was William III's wife, but they didn't have to make him king.)
