        The problem with claiming the nations of the Americas as having never been conquered is that they're so new, and most of them were formed out of formerly conquered - colonized nations. Yes, Brazil has never been conquered, but the tribes that originally possessed it definitely were. The United States has never been conquered, but it was formed out of people who were the descendants of conquered populations ( English, Scots, Irish, German Anabaptists).

        I was tempted to say Saudi Arabia, but then I remembered that large parts of Arabia were conquered by the Ottomans.

                ...................knuckled under to the Japanese in 1941 within a few days of Pearl Harbor. After Japanese crossed the Thai- Indochina border in December of 1941 the King agreed to sign a treaty with Japan. Though Thailand retained nominal autonomy Japanese troops occupied Bangkok and the Thai state became a puppet regime.
