I said yes because I don't think any other civilizations used cavarly by 17~18th century due to the introduction of Gunpowder.
Grrr..

I'm convinced that they were the best cavalry at any time prior to the 19th century, including the golden horde.

I agree also. I think they were the best, there's much military evidence to show I just don't know it that well to say it.

Were Hussars the best elite cavalry units in Europe or in the world of that time period(17th, 18th century?

If you think not then say who were better.

I'd say yes, best in the world of 17th century and early 18th....
