Hi Endeavor,

"Between the years 1900 and 1901 a troop of armies invaded a country three times." This is correct for the simple past tense.

Alternatively, you could say:

1. Between 1900 and 1901, X invaded the country three times.

(It seems unlikely that "a country" is correct; in most contexts, it would be "the country". Also, "a troop of armies" is an unusual expression; a "troop" is a subset of an army.)

All the best,

MrP
