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.

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.)

Well, depending on any region also. But I will concentrate on at least my region of Saudi Arabia Hijaz since it has been conquered many many times due to its location as a trade route of the frankincense, spices, gold, ivory from africa, pearls and precious stones and textiles. Also later, an important line on the trade between Europe and the East, esepcially the South East of Asia or the Indian subcontinent. 
1- Romans
2- Abasynians.
3- Most Egyption Islamic dynasties: Fatimid, Ayobeans, Memluks.
4- Ottomans till 1916.

Since ArmenianSurvival did it for Armenia, I'll do it for Canada.

- Native Americans
- Scandinavians (Vikings)
- French
- British

- and finally, Canadians! Even though Canada still remains symbolically subjected to the British crown.

An interesting note: Americans invaded Canada (French and English regions) a few times, such as in 1775 and 1812, but were ousted back to their country...

If you track the existance of France to the 5th republic then no one did apart savage hordes of northern european tourists.

If you take it as a land, including conquests and settlements.

1st: The Celts (Gauls)
2nd: The Germanics (Belgae)
3rd: Phoceans (Marseille and Nice)
4th: Romans
5th: Germanics again (Franks, Goths and Burgundians)
6th: Celts again (Bretons)
7th: Vikings (Normandy)

Then, I can't find of invasions or settlements proper, military defeats yeah; but none that ended by a massive settlement and none that could be considered an invasion.

Uzbekistan
although the country exists for only 15 years, but the people and land existed for almost 2700 years.
 
Conquered states and in-state empires who arosed from zero
1. All iranian states and empires.
2.Turkic people
3.Arabs
4.Turkic (Timurid empire)
5.Mongols
7. Turkic-Mongol uz beg khans
8. Russians
 
the most interesting one is that all are our ancestors since they have been mixed and assimilated (besides russians, but fixed of them also mixed).
 
Samanaid empire was born in our land.
Seljuks, Kharezmshahs are also from our land.
Due to last conquerers we were given the name "uzbek"
We have 3 million tajik-speakings.
 
Uzbek language consists of too many arabic and persian words (make up almost 60%) and of course Turkic language which is the base.
 
So our language is the richest!!!!!!!
 
Our land also the richest!!!!!!!!!!!

However, our country does not like Mongols. they are the-only who are written as "destroyers" in our history books.

But since many Turks are descendants of ancient Anatolians one can argue that our ancestors were indeed conquered by the Romans and such, lol.

If we understand conquer according with the original view of Cyrus, to take a portion of territory, turkish Turkey was conquered by many enemies. In fact, was more or less conquered by the spanish in the beginning of the XIV century althought then left, when the almughavars crushed the turks between the Aegean sea and the Taurus mountains LOL Wink, althought under the service to the byzantines.


Spain had many conquerors:

1. Celts??? (many many doubts)
2. Greeks (only if we understand the colonies as "conquest")
3. Cartaghinians (the first without doubt)
4. Romans
5. Germans (goths, vandals and suevi... and the iranians alans)
6. Arabs
7. Moors (if we understand islamized berbers, like almoravids and almohads)
8. French

You also forget the Phoenecians. Carthage was not the only city founded by the Phoenecians near the Iberian Peninsula and Africa; the Phoenecians founded many settlements and cities along the Spanish coast (incidentally, Lisbon was founded by Phoenecians and although that's hardly Spanish, its' still in Iberia which shows that there was definate Phoenecian activity on the whole peninsula)

Loknar is right there, Azimuth- America (The section now called the USA) was conquered, but the established state of the USA after the American wars of independence (which is, i believe what he is reffering too) has never been conquered. Apart from the Mexican wars in the south, and that Japanese pilot trying to start forest fires in WWII, there has never been any offensive military action towards the USA on their land since it was established (i'm not sure if there was some land action there in the Napoleonic wars, though)

You are right my friend, the phoenicians stablished the colonies, then Carthage inherited those settlement, they was at the same position than the greeks in this post, hardly can be considerated "conquest" the stablishment of colonies. But Carthage, the carthaginians conquered trully a great portion of Iberia.

About USA... i must disagree. The war with Great Britain of 1812-1814 with Washington falling in the hands of the english, and the WWII with the japanese taking the Aleutine islands. Smile

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).

My country was conquered as a whole by the Gremans in 1941 and subsequently after the conquest, Greece was partitioned by the Axis forces into three zones:
the German controlled territory,the Italian controlled territory and the Bulgarian controlled territory
The turks in 1897 conquered a considerable territory of the kingdom of Greece,but only for a short period.They left after the intervention of the Great powers,Great Britain,France and Russia.We were saved back then but we paid a lot of money as compensation.
The Italians conquered for a short period of time Kerkyra,Corfu in 1923.
Pireus was conquered also for a short period by the French and the English because the King of Greece had a pro-German stance during the first years of the WWI.

the German controlled territory,the Italian controlled territory and the Bulgarian controlled territory
The turks in 1897 conquered a considerable territory of the kingdom of Greece,but only for a short period.They left after the intervention of the Great powers,Great Britain,France and Russia.We were saved back then but we paid a lot of money as compensation.
The Italians conquered for a short period of time Kerkyra,Corfu in 1923.
Pireus was conquered also for a short period by the French and the English because the King of Greece had a pro-German stance during the first years of the WWI.


You forgot the Ottoman Turks.

Well if take strictly this topic, Spain only was conquered by Napoleonic France. But before...
 
I didn't agree that fenician and greeks conquered Spain, only colonized some cities for trade. And Celts and Ibers were their fisrt "invaders".
After we have Carthago, Rome, Vandals, Suevs, Alans, Goths, also Bizanthium empire (but only the southeast part). Arabs, moors, France (only the northeastern part, Marca Hispanica), and France with Napoleon.
 
In general i agree with the prevous messages

1) German crusaders (1227-1561/1918)
2) Swedish crusaders ; later Swedish under Erik XIV and Gusatfus Adolphus II
3) Danish Crusaders
4) Russians/Soviets
5) Poland
6) nazi Germany
 
 
Poland didnt conquer you. Actually you asked Poland for help and it came to save you from Russians. In Poland you werent treated like a conquered land but like part of the federation. It was not possible for your country to be independent and your rulers had to choose between Russia, Sweden and Poland. And same with Latvia. Commonwealth didnt conquer or ocupied it. It has the same rights in the Commonwealth as any other province.
Am i wrong?

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.Smile

That's obvious. Did Estonians fought along Polish side in war with Soviet Russia in war 1918-1920. I know Latvians did fight with us hand in hand but I don't know anything about Estonian input.

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
 
 
To which of these 5 you relate Bulgarians (first and second kingdoms) and Serbs (Dushan's Empire)? As for USA colony, I am not Turk and do not care, but it would be interesting to test how quick greek moderatoras of this forum would delete this post if something similar would be posted about Greece.

No not to my knowledge, no direct Estonian troops in one battle with Polish troops. But i know that when Estonia was clearing Northern-Latvia of the Bolsheviks, Estonian forces did meet Polish scouts. Our armies were some 28 kilometres from eachother. That was in the first days of June 1919.

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.

I disagree Barbarroja you forget that althought Philip inherited the kingdom, was needed attack Portugal with a strong army under the command of Alba, after hard battles in continental Portugal and Azores Portugal was annexed.

Disagree again about the "spanish" medieval Portugal, but that can be a very long discussion.

An interesting note: Americans invaded Canada (French and English regions) a few times, such as in 1775 and 1812, but were ousted back to their country...

 
 Native americans conqured canada !!! this is the most stupid thing i ever heard !
 
 the native americans are the real owner of the the so called now canada and they were killed by millions when the europeans came !
