To clarify a lot of confusion I see in the comments. This book considers a country to be invaded when:
At any point during the history of England, Whales, northern Ireland, Scotland, and or significant predecessors any army of theirs "invaded",
Counting any part of the land that is now considered part of the UN country. So not only from when the country existed,
And being invaded meaning they had some control over, or fought conflicts in the territory.
