I think Afghanistan and surrounding is a another close contender:
Factions that have ruled the region: Achaemenid Empire Macedonian Empire Seleucid Empire Bactrians Scythians Sakae Parthian Empire Kushan Empire Sassanid Empire Hepthalite Kok Turuk Caliphate Saffarids Bokhara Ghaznavid Empire Gurid Empire Khwarezm-Shah Empire Mongol Empire Chagatai Khanate Herat Tamerlane's Empire Safavid Empire (various rulers) etc. |

I generally agree with the statement that Mesopotamia/Iraq takes the title, but I'd like to mention Romania as well: Dacians Scythians Greeks/Macedonians Romans Ostrogoths Huns Slavs Avars Bulgars Magyars Cumans Petchenegs Mongols Vallachians/Moldavians Turks Poles Russians Austrians Germans Soviets (similar to Russia (I know, but there is a distinction)

And to add another important once ruler of Afghanistan: Great Seljuks. We should place them right before the Khwarezmshahs.

china and korea..... these lands have been conquered by so many different ethnic groups and also there were many civil wars that were fought in these lands......
i would say east asia (excluding japan) and europe were the places that have been conquered and reconquered.....

Hmm, yes Iran and Iraq seem to have been conquered quite many
times...but of the European countries, Luxembourg has been conquered,
or at least invaded, quite often. Because whenever there has been a war
in Europe, Germany or France have allways invaded or conquered
Luxembourg. And we are not talking of one or two invasions, but tens of
them. I'm not that aware of Luxembourgish history, so I'm not really
sure how many times this tiny country has been invaded, but as this is
in the middle of "everything", it gets invaded by almost an
accident

I haven't read the entire thread, but I'd put India up there (I'm
lumping Pakistan with India for historical convienience) - that Khyber
Pass was a natural conduit for invasion!

South America ? Pal, Incan Peruvians are South Americans. The Aztecs / Mexica are mesoamericans ( not Aztek ). And they were conquered only by the spaniards and their native allies. The empire lasted almost 100 years. Edited by Jalisco Lancer |
