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."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
