The last successful foreign military invasion of Britain occurred during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically in 1807, when the French attempted to invade but were thwarted. However, the most notable and successful invasion was during the Norman Conquest in 1066, led by William the Conqueror. Since then, Britain has not faced a successful military invasion, although there have been numerous threats and attempted invasions.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, Britain sought to expand its empire by colonising other countries such as India, Burma, Rhodesia, The Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and numerous other countries of Africa. At one stage, the British empire, achieved largely through invasion and colonisation, was the largest Empire in the world.
