A person or group of people who enters a place or country by force with the intent to occupy or conquer it.
From Latin 'invadere,' combining 'in-' (into) and 'vadere' (to go). The term has been used since the Middle Ages to describe military invasions and colonial occupations.
One country's 'invader' is another country's 'liberator'—the exact same military action can be seen completely differently depending on which side you're on, showing how history is always written by the winners.
