How about some BETTER apples?
Afghanistan - Britain
Bhutan - Britain
Brunei - Britain
East Timor - Portugal
The Philippines - by Spain, then the U.S.A.
Indonesia - Netherlands
Iraq - Britain
Iran - Britain & Russia
Kuwait - Britain
Laos - France
Malaysia/Singapore - Britain
Nepal (parts) - Britain
India, Sri Lanka - Britain
Myanmar (Burma) - Britain
Vietnam - France
Formosa (Taiwan/China) - Netherlands
Japan - U.S.A.
p.s. When you say "conquered" you mean beaten militarily and then occupied, yes? Although Britain defeated China in the Opium Wars, it occupied Hong Kong, it did not occupy the majority of China's territory. The state of Pakistan was separated from British India in 1947, it was not conquered. Britain NEVER conquered Bangladesh. Thailand has the distinction of never being conquered by a Western nation.

Almost all the countries in Asia had been colonised for atleast approximately for 200 to 250 years. Details have been as shown:
Southeast Asia, stretching from Burma in the northwest to the Philippines in the east, consists of 10 countries - Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. All Southeast Asian countries, except Thailand, were under foreign domination for more than 250 years; the Philippines had fallen under the control of Spain as early as the beginning of the 16th century. The Second World War brought decolonisation in its wake, and the first nation to obtain independence was the Philippines in 1946 and the last was Brunei in 1976. Immediately before decolonisation began, four different colonial systems functioned in different Southeast Asian countries: the American, Dutch, French, and British systems of government. The Philippines gained independence from the United States; Indonesia from the Netherlands; the two Vietnams,2 Cambodia, and Laos from France; Burma, Malaya,3 and Brunei from Great Britain.
Apart from that India (inclusive of present Pakistan and Bangladesh) were under the control of the British. French and Portugese rule was prevailing in Pondicherry and Goa respectively.
Srilanka (then Ceylon) was under british rule. Maldives
islands, became a Portuguese (1558), Dutch (1654), and British (1887) colonial possession. Afghanistan was under British and Soviet rule. During World War II, Britain and the USSR invaded Iran from August 25 to September 17, 1941, to stop an Axis-supported coup and secure Iran's petroleum infrastructure. In 1923 the United Kingdom and Nepal formally signed an agreement of friendship, in which Nepal's independence was recognised by the UK.
