The Hardest Countries To Invade - youtu.be/2hK8QRZw2-8
Some countries are notoriously hard to invade, earning a reputation for their resilience, while others haven’t fared as well. Poland, for instance, lacks natural defenses, making it vulnerable to the surrounding hostile forces. Iceland, on the other hand, has no real military presence, and Denmark’s record in past conflicts, particularly during World War II, has been less than stellar—it surrendered to Germany after just one day.
In the event of a war, these nations might be in for a harsh reality check.
