Germany 

Since 2000 years we destroyed all european empires ..
German(y)  defeat the most powerfull nations in History
Romans
Ottomans
France
"Great" Britain
And if German(y) attack their neighbors the World collapse ..   


Uhh "Great Britain" first ..
Great Britain overunning native people with european steel and gunpowder .. thats not great but clever :-)
If they fight against continental europe, they swim back to their island  or call  big brother ..or conquer third world countrys ..

Iceland. Lives in peace and has a good democracy.

What a silly thread. Kinda old-fashioned to rate the greatest nations by their former miltary power, like many do.

That is because as an Icelander, you have never and will never experience true greatness with your nation or people.

True greatness as in long lasting peace, wealth and health for you people?

You say The British would just swim back to their island... well follow them. That is why we had the greatest navy, so nobody could invade us. But yes i see your point. And you say we use European gunpowder and steel, we are part of Europe, we invented printing press, iron cannon, we supplied romans with iron for gladius, we invented the English longbow, one of the most powerful weapons on the battle field, last time we were invaded was 1066, you were invaded in the 20th century, we do not go back to "our island" because of cowardice, we go there because it is our home, we fight for the very soil that lies beneath our feet because we don't have land on mainland Europe... i rest my case :D

No the printing press was invented in Tudor Britain, we became the most literate nation due to this. You might be thinking of flower press? And when i say we have no land on mainland Europe you know what i mean, im not talking about any of the land in any of our empires (especially not the commonwealth) but i mean our country itself is not in mainland Europe and that is where we fight, we did fight in these other places though, we fought in Calais in the hundred years war and in Gibraltar in the peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic wars.



In my opinion the winner of this poll should go to Greece or Rome because of the ancient empires.

Technically there was also one in Germany built a few years before by some guy by the name of: Johannes Gutenberg but the name printing press and the first public printing press both came from William Caxton, so you could say they were invented in both countries

No Caxton did not copy Germany, he was not around at the time, he was in Asia collecting the materials for the plans for the printing press he had already prepared
