No, nobody has successfully invaded Britain since the Romans under Caesar and then Claudius. At that time, however, Britain was not a unified country. Britain's island, rough seas surrounding it, and great navy have prevented it from being invaded by foreign enemies.

It could be interpreted that British history has been a history of invading other countries. In the case of Australia and New Zealand, for example, the British could be seen to have invaded these quiet peaceful countries and turned the lives of the indigenous people upside down. 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.
