If there's one thing humans love its war over the last 3400 years humans have
been on earth 268 of them have been in peace
that's just 8% of recorded history it's true even though the world seems pretty
at ease right now there are conflicts going on all over the place and every
few years countries do get invaded by other countries the most recent was in
2018 when the UAE invaded the Yemen but are there any countries on the planet
which are just impossible to invade well the answer is yes there are 10 for
various reasons it would be impossible to get into these 10 countries and it's
not always big countries with strong militaries I'm Charlie and today we're
going to look at countries that are impossible to invade Before we jump into
it why not invade the subscribe button and
press the notification bell to coming up first is Bhutan Bhutan is a tiny country
in Southeast Asia and it has pretty much nothing when it comes to defense there
are armies only 7,000 personnel and their Air Force consists of just two
aircrafts they also have zero tanks but despite all of this Bhutan is nearly
impossible to invade for thousands of years no countries ever try you see
Bhutan is a tiny country surrounded by Himalayan peaks the country itself is
300 metres above sea level so if an enemy country wanted to invade it would
need to reach the border which is hard to do it would somehow need to get
across all of these gigantic Himalayan peaks and even when they got there they
would have incredible altitude sickness the people of Bhutan are acclimatized to
this so they don't feel any sickness but if you suddenly sought to that height
then you would you would feel absolutely exhausted and sick to all of an enemy
country's resources would be spent actually trying to get to the country
also Bhutan is fairly insignificant when it comes to international geopolitics
they're very self-sufficient and they love peace they're incredibly isolated
physically and politically North Korea you hear rumblings about North Korea all
the time they are currently developing nuclear missiles and they also don't
have a central banking system some argue this makes them a prime target for an
invasion but despite it being a small and pork
it would be nearly impossible to invade you see despite the size of the country
it is the fourth largest military in the world
this is behind China India and the USA they have one point two eight million
active military personnel and they've also got 4.5 million in reserves they
are equipped with 4,200 tanks 500 fighter planes nearly 1,000 battleships
and so far eight nuclear warheads these nukes are enough to scare off even the
most powerful of countries in the 1950s during the Korean War South Korea and
the USA teamed up to try and subdue North Korea but even back then with
South Korea and the USA teaming up they couldn't do it not only that North Korea
has a great friendship with China the USA would never want to spoil their
relationship with China so they would never invade North Korea Australia
Australia is not the biggest country when it comes to population but one of
Australia's biggest defenses from invaders is its geography Australia is
an island and 70% of it is uninhabitable out back this is a gigantic stretch of
desert this would make it very hard for an enemy army to acclimatize its nearest
potential enemy is Japan but even that is 11,000 kilometers away and forces
would need to cross the Pacific Ocean to invade Japan nearly did invade Australia
during World War two but once they've realized how difficult
it would be they stopped by the time they got into the country and had
crossed the outback these soldiers would be so weak and subdued this would mean
it would be easy for the Australian military to take them out United States
the United States has the third biggest active personnel behind China and India
the USA have been major players in Wars for example World War one and World War
two and they've also been a part of recent invasions for example in Iraq and
Afghanistan they also have the largest military budget of any country in the
world that is nearly 750 billion dollars a year not only that in the USA many
citizens possess weapons there are 112 guns in the USA per every 100 person
that's way more guns than people this means that if anyone tried to invade
citizens may be able to fight them back the USA is also gigantic there are
many different terrains for example deserts and also Rocky Mountains it's
also separated from other superpower countries by gigantic oceans for example
the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean Switzerland Switzerland is known as the
most peaceful country in the world they were one of the only countries in Europe
to stay out of World War one and World War two but despite this it's one of the
most powerful countries in the world superpowers like the UK the USA France
and Germany all have a lot of money stored in Swiss banks so if they try to
invade Switzerland Switzerland could simply take all of their money
Switzerland geography is also great for defense they have Alpine mountains
surrounding the country they also have 24/7 Army surveillance of these
mountains from hidden bunkers inside them and the Swiss Army is so good
they're even trusted to protect the Pope Russia
Russia is the largest country on Earth and this is a great defense for invaders
one of the main reasons why Germany lost world war two was because they could not
conquer Russia all of the German soldiers simply froze in the cold
climate of Russia by the time any invaders actually got into Russia they
would be easy to subdue you that's because they would have wasted so many
men and resources simply getting into the country Russia also has nearly a
million active personnel they have 3,500 military aircraft and the most nukes out
of any other country 7,000 missiles you can see why no one wants to go up
against that United Kingdom one European country which did not get invaded in
World War two was the UK this is mainly because it's an island which is hard to
invade also despite being so small the UK is incredibly powerful on the world
stage it's a superpower like the USA Russia or
Germany the only way you could invade is by a naval invasion through the English
Channel you'd have to go through the treacherous waters and then get up the
White Cliffs of Dover even Germany in World War two could not do that the UK
also has 150,000 active military personnel as they spend 55 billion on
defense every year the UK also has a quote special
relationship with the USA thanks to the NATO agreement this means if anyone was
to invade Britain then NATO would come and help out India
India is one of the largest countries in the world and they also have the second
largest active personnel that is 1.5 million people India also has a massive
military mind it has 2,000 aircrafts and over 600 helicopters they have 6000
tanks and 7000 armored fighting vehicles they also have 14 submarines and two
aircraft carriers India also has a great relationship with China this means if
any country for example Pakistan tried to invade they likely couldn't
that's because China which is right above India would probably help out
China let's look at the largest country in the world when it comes to population
China have the most active personnel with over two million people it's also
an incredibly large country which would be hard to get into China have around
3,000 military aircraft and 800 helicopters they also have more tanks
than almost anyone 9,500 they have 5000 armored fighting vehicles and also 68
submarines and one aircraft carrier Japan Japan is an island nation which is
hard to invade they also have a quarter of a million people in their active
personnel they've got 800 tanks 300 air fighters and 750 helicopters for so
being in Highlands nation they have a big naval strength this includes 17
submarines and 4 aircraft carriers their annual defense budget is around 50
billion dollars that is the sixth highest in the entire world they're also
known for being incredibly tough during the USA America was so scared of Japan
they had to drop two nuclear bombs on the country that is because the word
surrender is not within the Japanese soldiers vocabulary but now it's time to
make your voice heard which country do you think is the most powerful on this
