In the last 500 years, Russia has been invaded more often than Great
Britain.  Since 1800 they have been invaded five times at least,
Napoleon 1812, England 1856 in Crimea, Japan 1905, Germany 1914,
and Germany again 1941.  The last invasion of Great Britain was 1066.
(Civil Wars do not count.)  Switzerland hasn't even been involved in a
war since 1800!
