What is the only English-speaking country to be defeated in battle and occupied?

The Confederate States of America! Yes, dear old Dixie holds that dubious distinction. Losers then, losers now and forever. Not something Donald Trump would like. 1066 and all that doesn't count because England wasn't a country yet and the official language for the next 200 years was French. I've spent time in the South. Good meals, terrible climate with some OK people and some not so OK. I saw a guy on TV waving a Confederate flag and yelling, “It's not racism it's heritage”.. of what, slavery, lynching, Jim Crow? We have the zombie young man holding his gun and Confederate flag and then going into a church and murdering 9 innocent black people because “someone has got to do it”. Take down the flag, burn it and join the Union properly. The fact that the party of Lincoln prevails throughout the South shows just what an upside down society it is. Mark Twain, born in the South, lest we forget, travelled to Dixie 15 years after Lee surrendered and was shocked to feel the resentment of the people and the complete lack of industry or progress. In the new Harper Lee novel even that paragon of southern decency, Atticus Finch, has succumbed to bitterness. General US Grant said the Confederacy was “the worst cause men ever fought for.” It still is.
