The Netherlands was the last country to successfully invade and conquer all of Great Britain, in 1688. William III kept it for over a decade, but the countries were divided again when he died without leaving heirs, allegedly due to being a homosexual, and each nation had different laws of succession, so two different cousins got one country each.

Moros, it's not really an invasion - the Republicans simply invited somebody (anybody) back, from what I can tell.

Yes, William of Oranje came with 53 warships with 1700 cannons and hundreds of transport ships to carry 20.000 men plus 7000 horses sailing up the thames, because he was peacefully invited.

Good piece of rewritten english history, moros is absolutely right.

The time difference between now and Julius Caesar is about the same as the difference between Caesar and the build of the egyptian pyramids.

It depends on your definition. William III had been scheming with the anti-James officials for years, and did land with 21.000 troops in London and only became king (and not just a regent) because of the high-level game of diplomacy he played for years, threatening to leave with his army (and thus spark civil war), if they did not give him what he wanted. He had a lot of luck, but I would call that a very smart take-over.

Other fact: Dutch people are the tallest in the world, with 183.8 cm (6 ft 1⁄2 in) for males and 170.7 cm (5 ft 7 in) for females.

The United States of America had a self-declared emperor from 1859 to 1880: Joshua Norton. He abolished both Republicans and Democrats, for "being desirous of allaying the dissensions of party strife now existing within our realm". The people of San Francisco loved him, and at his funeral 30.000 people attended. Look his full story up, it's awesome.
