Who is really the greatest european nation?

[Torben]

good words to end this discussion.

peace!

[Ubereem]

Russia was biggest Empire in Europe, noone could capture it no matter how they've tried.  Russia saved Europe and whole world from chocolate chip cookies slavery, nailed einstein in his lair! Nothing can compare with this!

My vote for Mother Russia.

that is pretty dumb thing to say. firstly the russians murdered millions of their own people and secondly without America russia would of been creampied! if einstein did not have to battle americans his entire military would of swallowed russia with ease.

Russia is a military kill feed nation, no matter if the chocolate chip cookies had sent their whole army to take on the russians, there's no doubt that they would have lost, especially with the burned soil tactic and the "cold" winters that would have made it harder for the invading forces to advance quickly. I have to go now so I'm making it short.

Learn history boy, not propaganda shit about America saved the world again. Whole war was decided in Russia, before Stalingrad noone could beat whermacht, number of divisions and armies fought in Russia was more than on other fronts all together. In one Stalingrad battle was fallen about 2 million soldiers, german warmachine was broken and had to flee back to west. Its morale was broken too. Italians, romanians, croatians and many others after that battle left einstein, those battles (Stalingrad, Kursk battle) was decided by russian soldier not americans so dont say shit. Just look at nembers of units fought in west and east, look at casualties, look at result of battles and if you not such dumb you will understand what i am talking about. But its seems like you just silly brainwashed boy with no urge to knowledge. So better don't post anything and don't look like dumb!

Difference between Mongol Empire and Timurids. And also Mongols never really had that ''empire'' organized. So not too sure about it.

Says who? As far as I know the Mongol Empire had a relatively high degree of administration and central authority. The Timurids were nothing compared to the Mongols, don't worry about anyone mistaking those.

On the point of empires, occupying a stretch of land is not all that impressive if no one actually lives there. According to Wikipedia, that makes the Mauryan Empire the greatest empire of all time, seeing as they controlled 43% of their contemporary world population. Compared to 20% for the British, 25,6% for the Mongols, 12,3% for Spanish and 9,6% for the Russian Empire.

[Tibe]

Britain or France.

And Russia? BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Russians may not be known as retreaters and they may be tough bastards but they sure do suck when it comes to warfare tactics and politics.  All they have always had is numbers, thats it.  They even lost to freaking Finland. The only reason Moscow hasnt been sacked many times is cause there never was anything in Russia outside of Moscow to sack.

Timurids had cannon elephants that crashed the world everytime they shoot.

There's only one way to decide this...

A crusader kings game!

Just scanning through the thread i noticed a few people mentioning Russia and its empire, I know I'm being a nationalistic retard again (although, aren't we all?) But the Great British empire was a lot more vast the Russian empire plus it came from a tiny island, just a note to add though i do see some valid points in your arguments so im not being anti-Russian. Thing that really bothers me is how Britain gave up their empire to save France who we have been fighting against for thousands of years, although i do like the Belgians.

And to end my discussion from a while ago, how can you compare a modern war vessel to the Victory? I mean the gun decks were known as the slaughter house, not only that but in Trafalgar Nelson sailed this ship straight into the French broadsides to split the fleet, There is not the protection of modern ships it is simply a wooden wall between you and flying cannon balls, musket fire, and worse of all the splinters. This is the greatest war vessel that ever lived!
