     Oh and you can add the Black sheep and White sheep federations for nations which have conquered Armenia...

And sorry perikles, the "spanish". The catalan almughavers conquered Greece by one century.

Can we include to the byzs as conquerors of Turkey? The crusaders retook the western part from the turks and gave it to the byzs...

NONE! Oh wait, British and French colonists.

Well if take strictly this topic, Spain only was conquered by Napoleonic France. But before...

Well i had to check my history book on that. As the local Livonian state here was utterly diminished into a dwarf in its military prowess it couldn't possibily defend itself from Ivan IV. I knew for certain that Tallinn and the rest of the Estland (northern-Estonia) gave themselves to the Swedes under Erik XIV.

Yes it seems that in the beginning of the war "the Order and the head bishop of Riga gave themselves under the protection of Zygmunt II August. For the help five Order and two Bishop forts along with the surroundings were pawned to the Polish king."

And i also read that as the Order who still tried to resist Russian invasion with its own forces aswell was crushed and "on the 28th November 1561 Order Master Gotthard Kettler admitted the power of Zygmunt II August on all areas of the Order. Also the Riga bishopry joined with this Pactia subiectionis. Only the town of Riga didn't admit Polish-Lithuanian power and remained actually independent for twenty years.

Pacta subiectionis was enforced in 1562 when the Order Master along with the rest of the knights gave an oath of loyalty to the representatives of Zygmunt II August in the castle of Riga. The fiefdoms of Courland and Zemgale were given to Gotthard Kettler to oversee. The lands north of Daugava river went under straight control of Zygmunt II August in 1566."

So it seems that the Poles were officially here to defend the Order lands (ergo Estonian lands). But still Zygmunt III Waza claimed that Northen-Estonian lands were his and there is the desire of Poland to conquer leftover Estonian lands (under Sweden at the time), but the Swedes were the first ones to start hostilities with Karl IX so it seems now that you are innocent.

Well lets share something aswell. Had anyone of us stopped or failed fighting the bolsheviks the rest of us would have been much more screwed.

Originally posted by perikles If you could call your political system republic it's ok. Anatolia is true that never conquered entirely by one nation. But it is also true that you are a usa colony. Just to say that in after wwi the west part of turkey was under Greek occupation (after all was greek from the ancient times). Greece 1)Turks 2)Germans 3)Venice 4)Romans 5)Crusader

That is strange that they didn't coordinate their actions fighting with the same enemy and being so close to each other.

I desagree because Spain did not invade Portugal, Portugal became a part of Spain because was the heritage of Philp II, not by the force. And in that time Portugal was also Spain, like Aragon or Castila. It has been in last centuies when Portugal could be considered a thing different from Spain, but during Middle Ages was as Spain as Asturias. Look that Portugal was part of Castila until Aljubarrota and after Juana la Beltraneja and her husband, the Portuguese king, could be kings of Portugal and Castilla and Spain would be that and not Castilla and Aragon if they would have won the Castilian civil war against Ferdinand II of Aragon and his wife the future Isabella I of Castila.
