New! World's Largest Armies 1900 - 2024

  • The count of military personnel for the years 1900 to 2024. Military personnel are defined as troops under the command of the national government and are maintained in a state of readiness for combat. Troops in the reserves (unless mobilized for wartime service), colonial forces, irregular units such as civil defense groups, frontier guards, gendarmerie, and other quasi-military organizations are excluded from this assessment. I categorized (colored) countries into three main groups, each of which currently holds a significant presence in the list, especially during recent years: Muslim countries, Southeast Asian countries, and the remaining nations worldwide.

      Jesus loves you ❤️ Please turn to him and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus was born into the world free of sin, then he died on the cross for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms. He wants to be with you but time is running out. Repent now and turn to him while there is still time. His heart longs for you.

Again, it's much more complicated than how we're talking rn. Innocent lives are lost on both sides which promotes the need for revenge but hatred never dies. Even after revenge. I hope we find peace as humans.

    Many of the countries represented here did not exist or have armies during some of the years covered in this video:
    Sweden was part of Norway until 1905.
    Turkey was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1923, and there wasn't a real "Turkish Army" until 1919.
    The Russian Empire ceased to exist as a country in 1917. Are you just attributing White Army numbers to the Russian Empire?
    You simultaneously show Weimar Germany and Nazi Germany in 1932. Nazi Germany is generally understood to have been established in 1933.
    Iran was known as Persia until 1935. You list it as Iran starting in 1932.
