VIDEO: These 10 Countries are IMPOSSIBLE to Invade
Sure, in a perfect world wars would never exist and there would be no need for guns and defense f any kind, but in the real world wars happen quite often and some countries are still trying to attack others and take over. So it would be interesting to find out which countries are safer than others and almost impossible to invade. While some of them make perfect sense and everyone would have expected them to be in the video, there are some that come as a surprise though they really are tough.
According to toptenz.net, war is never fun, exciting or a source of glory for anyone (well, at least it shouldn’t be). Only someone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand would believe such a thing. As many have put it over the years: “War is hell,” pure and simple. And because this statement is a fact, most countries around the world have prepared themselves accordingly, unwilling to be taken unawares by a military invasion. Though actual wars for conquest are a rare thing nowadays, this doesn’t mean that armed conflicts don’t happen.
Here are 10 such nations who are definitely prepared for one such attack. These rankings will not be made solely on each country’s firepower or active personnel, but also on other criteria which will be considered as an advantage in their overall defense.
Though it boasts a relatively small population of roughly 23 million, Australia is nevertheless huge; a continent in and of itself. With the exception of the coastal areas, where 98 percent of its people live, the island nation is an almost 3 million square mile scorching desert.
Pretty much everyone is aware by now of Switzerland’s famous neutrality. As Europe was plunged in two World Wars, the Alpine country was spared from the terrific onslaught.
In recent decades the Middle East has become a hotbed for conflict, extremism, and social and economic instability, no doubt fueled by the vast amounts of oil found beneath the region (pun…sort of intended?). But while several of its neighbors have succumbed to the ravages of war, Iran is still a strong influence and stability factor in the region.
Island nations are among the most common in this list, and the United Kingdom is a prime example of a hard-to-invade country. In fact, the last time Britain was totally and successfully invaded was in 1066 during the Norman conquest of England.
Without a doubt, Russia is an almost impossible country to conquer. As history has proven time and time again with the Swedish in the early 18th century, the French under Napoleon in 1812, and then the Nazis during WWII, the incredibly harsh Russian winter can bring even the mightiest of armies to its knees.
Not surprisingly, the United States is first on this list. For starters, its geographical position, as Otto von Bismarck is believed to have said, is advantageous: “The Americans are truly a lucky people; they are bordered to the north and south by weak neighbors and to the east and west by fish.”
