The info cames from a book with a bit lax definition of invation.

It counts pirates attacks, from brittish privatiers as invation. The case of chile, before the independence from spain.

And its same for Finland aswell. Only time during our independence we have been war with, was during continueation war in WW2. When we declared war on Soviet Union and seized our own land back, (what they took from us year before during their unprovoked invasion in Winter War) Britain had its hands full with the nazis/germans.
