Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Countries that Britain has attacked
Britain' isn't and hasn't been a nation - it's an island. There was a short period of 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain', but it is officially now 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. Previous to the Acts of Union, there was England, and Scotland, and various principalities in Wales until they were absorbed into England. Before that, the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms, and the Celtic states, and the Roman province of Britannia - which didn't include much of Scotland. Also, how is "First recorded attack by barbary pirates on the English coast" an attack BY Britain anyway? Christmas Island? "Christmas Island is first sighted...". The damn place was uninhabited, and seemingly never had been inhabited. "English forces travel through Austria" - but not Scottish ones... They didn't fight through (OK, probably some fights outside alehouses...). 'Britain' has never attacked Jersey. Etc, etc. This isn't a list of attacks made by 'Britain', it's a mish-mash of military and friendly interactions, exploring, piracy, treaties, colonisation of uninhabited territory, and more. Sorry, I know there's a lot of hard work gone into this, but it doesn't fit the title, and I can't think of a new title that would fit. I considered  as a reason for the listings, but can't see a point
