The United States military gets around. There are the countries with which it's gone to war – Iraq, Germany, and Japan. There are countries it helps protect – Turkey, Poland, and Bahrain. And there are countries most people don't even know that America sends troops to, like Thailand, Pakistan, and Antarctica. There are so many countries. In fact, there are only three countries in the world America hasn't invaded or have never seen a U.S. military presence: Andorra, Bhutan, and Liechtenstein.

American historian Christopher Kelly and British historian Stuart Laycock are the authors of "America Invades: How We've Invaded Or Been Militarily Involved With Almost Every Country on Earth." They define "invasion" as "an armed attack or intervention in a country by American forces."

Americans have been invading other countries since before America was a thing, as early as 1741, when the North American battleground for the War of Austrian Succession was called King George's War – one of the French and Indian Wars. That's a lot of wars.

According to Kelly and Laycock's book, the United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 – a staggering 98 percent.

Lets just say we all know who is the planets greatest enemy. Certain pathetic country who invaded 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 – a staggering 98 percent.
