God bless the USA
Sweden once was the most powerful military in europe.
Hell, in the 60's we still had the 3rd most powerful airforce in the world.
When were you the strongest in Europe? During the Viking age? I thought that was Norway, and in any case the ottomans and Byzantine empire would have been stronger.
1640s
How was this? Wasn't that the heyday of the Spanish Empire?
>mfw born at the most irrelevant age of my nation
Na, we were on par with france, but with a slightly larger army. Only lasted a few years unfortunatly.
Most of norway, whole of finland, whole of the baltics, some of germany, some of poland, and some of russia was Swedish
>mfw born just in time to see my country turn into a kaliphat
thread if for most powerful, not bronze medal powerful
>Greece
Explain
Sparta
when was greece the most powerful in the world
3000 years ago?
Canada~
The Macedonian (Alexander the Great) Empire, you idiots.
Also, OP is a faggot. Russia has never been the most powerful military. During the Russian Empire the were overshadowed by the British Empire (Crimean War) and during the Soviet Era they were overshadowed by the USA (Cold War). Russia has been a menacing #2 to Anglo domination.
We was the most powerful in europe in a time when anyone outside of europe didnt matter anyway.
>sparta
>most powerful in the world
what is this meme?
>1640s
>Alexander
Then I guess India should be up there because Alex got repelled by the Indians:
I find it hard to believe Britain was never above that.
>all that made-up data
pop-sci is cancer
How exactly was Sweden more powerful than France at the time of the Thirty Years' War? Heck, even Spain and Portugal had a huge colonial empire, and the Ottomans were pressing ever onwards into Europe, nearing their height at the Battle of Vienna (1683).
>Russia has never been the most powerful military.
so is uk. despite being "the largest empire", they've never been the most powerful military, which is why they resorted to killing poor natives dotted around the world to extend their sphere instead of conquering european counterparts by themselves in the first place.
where is the Phillipines, they have the most powerful race
Make this thread again in 2030 pls. Our toilet army will be fully equipped by then
Gotta respect this honestly. You guys make some nice jets.
We defeated an invasion of France, England (and scotland) and half of Germany at the same time.
Plus our navy was bigger than the French and English one at the same time.
reminder you are not a strong military if you had to pay tribute to the barbary states and get cucked into saying you're not a christian nation

>no Saudi Arabia
they may be lazy degenerate fat fucks now, but the first three Islamic Caliphates (Rashidun, Ummayyad, Abbassid) fielded the most powerful militaries in the world at the time.
>tfw red tape
God bless anyone who thought 0 AD china or india were 5 or more times stronger than the Roman Empire.
India and China are still here, where's Rome and the Romans?
Fucking extinct
Good morning bois
>we wuz romans n shiet
they weren't sauids
i think by italy it means only mainland rome, not the whole empire, since some of roman provinces like britain and france are represented individually, and north african countries (provinces) are not taken into consideration as well.
Or that could just be because the entire chart is pseudohistory bullshit
But my dear sharter, italy is still here aswell; yet I dont see Tang china hanging around.
See how dumb you sound, inbred burgernigger?
lol cucked
What about Best Korea ?
You mean the coalition of French empire, British Empire, Ottoman empire and Sardinia, right?
Or did you think British Empire fought alone?
all hail Hellas
Didn't we still get you to stop fucking with our ships?
i accept your kind invitation burgerbro
>america
>white
>tfw will never recover
>Russia

>Russia has never been the most powerful military.
Russia had the most powerful military in the world in 1950s-1980s.
Try to conquer us.
Your military wont find us

britain, france, greece, italy, egypt, iran, mongolia, spain, GERMANY? most powerful.....u got to be JOKING
germans are the most KEKED nation while its bundeswehr watches impotently

Sweeden reinvented the nature of western warfare from the tercio/pike formation to the line infantry formations that stayed around for centuries
arguing about strongest militaries after nukes were made is some of the dumbest shit.
MAD was always real and the treaties made during the height of nuclear teating made a nuclear engagement on even terms a perpetual ideal.
Outer Space Treaty of 1967
ABM Treaty of 1972 (No longer exists)
Start I Treaty of 1991
