Can you soruce that, since woodrow himself blaimed the war on "militarism" and justifed the entery in to the war on that.Originally Posted by !synergy
Although i find the boat a more likely reason due to the timeing.
British empire peek: 1921wrong again buddy. i'm doing well in a.p. world history.
anywho, the british empire may have still been around, but it wasn't as dominant as it was centuries ago.
Centurie: 100 years
Date 2007.
That makes the british empires peek in 1921, 86 years ago.
86 is less than a 100. Hence its peek was less than ONE century ago, never lown centurys...
Plus, wow A.p, as much as a i really do cair, your educational status is pretty irrelvent to the debate and i dont belive anyone gives a ****, go boast somewhere else, this is for debates.
Well you can read slower if you need to, Birtish training is better than that in other countarys, if birtain did teach the other countarys (i dont know weather thats true or not) then they cannot have become BETTER, but instead worse.let's try this again. maybe read slower or something. people say that britain taught other countries everything they know. but these other countries have progressed a whole lot on their own since this time, hence the term "better". therefore, this fact can't be used as proof that britain has the most powerful army. k?
Hence your use of the word better remains incorrect.
For the rest of the aurgument, stop straw maning, my point was a sepert issue to do with your wording, i made no mention as to the validty of the UK training other nations.
Thats nice, that explains why they attacked japan. BUT, thats not what i was talking about. Japan had almost NO involment with the main war, none of the other countarys were really involved in that conflict. America could have attacked japan quite easly without invadeing germany also. They orignaly encoraged hitlers dominace as it was putting communism down...no again, the reason was japan's attack on pearl harbor. that's why the americans almost single handedly beat japan. most of the US's problem was with japan.
IBM was helping the germans crack british codes, the US, not being involved in the war origanly held a neutral status, hence its industrial sector was selling to whom ever they liked. They also liked a powerful germany as a barrier against communism.well, i learned that america supplied allied troops only before they entered the war. i can't picture america selling to germany and japan =/ however, i don't have any proof of which is correct.
Well birtain was right in the thick of both of them, and was involved in there entirty... america joined pretty late on in both wars. Although i accept its hard to get a non-bias source, America is obviously going to enphisise its roll and downplay others, as britain equaly is likely to do much the same thing emphisising what it did, and not what other countarys themselves did "/& we have to remember we were taught in different countries about the wars, therefore we have different aspects on what really happened.

I think he was refering to the zimmerman telegram which did have a large impact on USA's decision to enter the war if not the main reason. Originally Posted by 01101101entor

In all honesty theres no way to say which is the best without a war between all of them. I am in NO way suggesting there should be but it's the only real way to decide. I would say that america has the biggest ready-to-use army.
China
I would say china is actually one of the least powerful it has a massive army but as the old saying goes "An Army Marches On It's Stomach" and statistics suggest that china would have problems recoursing enough food to feed it's armie during a war due to the fact that nobody would import to them and there normal food reserves are simply not high enough. [Hope that made a little bit of sense]
Britain
is probably top on tactics and the powerfulist army for it's side.
See now I would say we have the most powerful navy too but our controlling the seas has gone to pot as year after year they reduce our navy. I'm paticuarly destressed about this as I live near portsmouth and the HUGE naval base there is under threat of closing. Which means lots less money from tourism
. Britain has won Most (By no means all) wars using the huge amount of allies we have. With america and most of western europe backing us up you can't really lose a war can you now?
I would also say we are the most technologically advanced army out there. We seem to have better rifles planes and all sorts of doohickys and gadgets to help the men on the battlefield.
N. Korea
Nobody actually knows the proper might of this army it's fought a few times but not recently so we don't know how the army has developed. I'm sure we all see the amazing dancing display things on BBC News occasionaly but theres no real evidence to how effective or strong they are in battle.
Russia
Not much of an army at all you might say? I reckon this could be the worlds next super power pretty soon. It has a population to rival China and America (Not together) and although it's hasn't been in a full on war in modern times the whole country is becoming much better developed economically and military. Theres no evidence but this could be the worlds strongest army.
Middle East
These guys put up a fight but theres no real "Material Army" more just small groups of rebels with guns. Sure they put up a fight when we invaded Iraq but it didn't exactly last long did it. Definately Not a threat. (As In able to start invading countries NOT surrounding it, such as America.)
America
In my opinion the current winners. The army is big well trained and extremely powerful. I would definately call U.S.A The current world Super Power. As it is probably the second most advanced army as well having huge man power and well trained men! So all hail America and what not.. I suppose (For now!)

1) USA - no one can come close to the lone superpower of the world. and to top it off, the United States of America spent over $500 billion last year on their military alone. The USA has dominated the seas for over 60 years and if you can control the seas, you can control other countries economies with blockades and so forth. Obviously militaries don't get more experience, technologically advanced, and powerful than the mighty United States of America.
2) China - They have the world's 2nd largest gold reserves in the world. The ability to mobilize millions of men combined with the ability to reverse engineer allows China to stay a major threat in the world despite their isolationist leaders. China's economy is booming and they deserve this ranking over Russia which is on the opposite spectrum of China when it comes to economies. Their man power can't be matched. China has a closer relationship with the former USSR and Russia does have incredible knowledge when it comes to missle guidance systems.
3) Russia - Even though they are incredibly corrupt and have an economy that has seen better days, Russia's technology is top notch. They have an amazing amount of tanks, artillery, and machinery (can't be matched anywhere in the world) that can quickly be mobolized for a strong defensive force. Russia has an abundance of scientists and are the world's leader in weather modification. Overall, Russia lacks the professionalism needed to net a top 2 ranking.
4) UK - Cutting edge technology and a very close relationship with the United States tips the scales in favour of the UK when it comes to most militaries around the world. The UK's military tradition, resources, and professionalism are amongst the best in the world. The UK also has the best special forces in the world.
5) France - They have an abundance of technology and wealth both since the great war ended, they haven't spent serious money on their military like many other countries have. France does have ample indigenous technology.
6) Israel - Probably the best defensive force in the world. Israel has great special forces and a very nice ally in the United States which allows them to benefit by gaining technology as well as resources needed to wage war. Some of the best pilots in the world are from Israel.
7) Germany - Great technology, but they rank so low because since Hitler they have not made their military priority #1. However, given time they could amass an incredible military force. They have the economy needed to go hand and hand with a successful military. The military tradition is certainly there.
8) India - Man Power, economy, this rising power has it all. They are well balance in all areas including the Navy, which is rare in the day and age of anti-ship missiles. The only reason the Indians are so far down the list is because they are corrupted and lack OIL.
9) Turkey - One of the most powerful countries in their region, the Turks are very experienced fighting off Kurdish rebels and they have a very strong military tradition. Turkey, like Israel, would be one of the toughest countries in the world to invade due to their defensive capabilities. The country of Turkey has legendary leadership.
10) Pakistan - Pakistan has a large army as well as a booming economy. However, their lack of cutting edge technology coupled with the fact their Navy is medicore at best drops them to #10. However, they too are a fast riser.
