Britain used to be one big free for all of kingdoms similar to Fuedal Japan. Before the formation of England, it was smaller kingdoms called things like Mercia and Northumbria

If Mercia invaded Northumbria, which both kingdoms now exist as 2 different parts of England....would that count as England invading itself?

No since they have long since stopped being countries. I'm pretty sure both of those were wiped out by Vikings anyway.

Swede here. When dealing withe the statement that "Sweden is getting worse", it should be noted that recent research shows that Sweden has the highest amount of both deadly shootings and bombings in Europe
And it's the only one where it's on the rise.

(not counting the war in Ukraine)

Not really.
Mexico decided to stop paying its debts, so Spain, England, and France created a pact to get their money from Mexico.
They sent ships to Mexico and started some diplomacy.
Spain and England accepted the sovereignty and independence of Mexico. The landing of foreign forces was allowed to avoid casualties due to fever and other illnesses suffered by its crew, so England had military forces in Mexico.
Spain and England left, while France attacked. Since England was still technically in the pact, it "counts" as an invasion.

Portugal was never invaded by Britain. In fact, Britain's oldest mutual defense treaty (that is still in effect) is with Portugal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Portuguese_Alliance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Windsor_(1386)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Portuguese_Treaty_of_1373

You can say that Britain attacked Spain during the time when Spain had annexed Portugal. But I wouldn't call that invading Portugal (since it didn't exist at the time).

And the UK did really pressure the Portuguese empire to give up territory in Africa, back when the UK was powerful and Portugal was a fading power. But that's not an invasion, either.

Historically, the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of England, and later the modern Portuguese Republic and United Kingdom, have never waged war against each other nor have they participated in wars on opposite sides as independent states since the signing of the Treaty of Windsor.

maybe they're counting in that they based the invasion of Spain during the Napoleonic wars from Portugal?

Who knows. It'd be dumb to do so, being that the Portuguese asked for their help to fend off Napoleon.

Also, $100 million and you get to live in Portugal. That'd be awesome.
(I'm already doing that, but without the $100 million.)

yeah, but i've seen this kind of chart before, and most often the wording is different, noting that it includes both hostile invasions, and allied interventions
i know very little about Portugese history, so if they never did an actual invasion as you say, that's the only thing i can think of

was the alliance ever broken, like during some Spanish-Portuguese Union or something?

Not unless the pope or someone else fairly high up agrees to it.

Although with topics like these, I kinda assume that citizenship is guaranteed to some regard.

There is like 3 ways to get a Vatican City citizenships.
  • The Cardinals resident in the Vatican City State or in Rome;
  • The Holy Sees diplomats; and
  • Persons who reside in Vatican City State by reason of their office or service.
Bribing probably cost more than 100 millions.
Easiest way is probably to marry a Swiss Guard, but I dont think they accept gay marriage...

Yes, however, Portugal didn't exist during the union. It was all Spain.

Meaning that if there was any British fighting during that time, it was against Spain, not Portugal.
