Top 10 Armies In World History！

The fact is the Persians were a great empire with great armies. What you are doing is called hyperbole. They did not win the Greco Persian Wars evidence provided. They never invaded India. You provided that evidence. Cyrus himself was defeated by the Scythians. Please accept others views and not just your own. It really is sad if someone doesn't want to learn.

The ancient Persian inscriptions can scarcely be held without bias as try were written on the kings orders! The Persians did not conquer India or Ethiopia.

These negative views can be found everywhere, the fact is that some people know and some other people don't know and just want to deny, for example they don't know an inscription of Darius the Great has been discovered in modern Romania, of course according to some biased Greek sources, Persians never controlled any part of Europe but there are some people who research, they read ancient Persian inscriptions, for example they already know that the Persian satrapy of Skudra was located in Europe.

I personally see no reason to have the Russian army on the list. Instead I should choose for the Persian army.

if britain had one of the largest empires in the world if not the largest empire, it's because they had an excellent army, so it should definitely be there

For the moment. However, I understand the Chinese are more numerous and, technologically, are catching up with the Americans

There have been a lot of armies i history, and what makes them great i guess is what it can do and what it did. In my opinion, this is my top 10

1.Roman Army: Very flexible and organized army, its their flexibility that made them successful and they had great generals like Caesar. This army is good at building fortifications and they lasted for hundreds of years. A good example is Aleisa, great battle. The Roman Army was the best at their time, and conquered most of Europe.

2.The Grand Army: Very well disciplined and drilled troops, best of their time. They are very loyal and had very high morale. They also had one of the greatest generals ever, Napoleon Bonaparte' who actually made the army. A good example is the battle of Austerlitz, total perfection. And their best infantry, the Old Guard, they were the elite of the elite, they were defeated only once at Waterloo. This could conquered the whole Europe if it wasn't for a few countries around it.

3.Englands Army from 1066 to 1900s: This Nation is among the greatest that ever existed, from the battle of Hastings to world war 2 this Nations army has stayed strong. They also had the best navy ever. They are very well drilled and disciplined which are one of the key ingredients of making a good army. With this they controlled over 1/5 of the worlds population at their greatest. They had a lot of colonies all around the world and has had a lot of victories.

4.Mongol Army of the the Mongol Empire: With this Army, Genghis Khan conquered the largest Empire ever, it stretch from Korea to Eastern Europe. They won hundreds of battles. They may be badly armored but its their maneuverability and speed that's their strength. If Genghis Khan lived a little longer they could have conquered more.

5. America's Army now: "But as of right now, The Modern US Army is the most powerful Army to walk the face of the earth. They don't even have any close competition in terms of conventional warfare."

7. Nazi Germany's army
8.Greek army specially the Spartans
9.I'm not exactly sure but it could be the Samurai, very tough and loyal men
10. talgana shihvato's army awsome they killed 20,000 men with only 1298 of thiers


 

Red Army of WWII: Singlehandedly broke the back of the Nazi war machine. Equipped with advanced, yet simple to produce, weapons, including the PPSH sub-machine gun, T-34 tank, Yak-9 fighter, and Sturmovik bomber

oh well we all have our opinions still like the roman army better though
