Largest Armies in the World 1816 - 2019 

First 2 minutes is just Russia having fun resizing the whole graph

3:30 Russia: "K, lemme log in from another account"

That was mesmerising....can’t believe Japan was allowed to keep such a large standing army so long after WW2, right up until early 1950s..

The fact that Finland was visible on this list during the second world war is crazy, considering their small population of about 4 million.

You know something will happen when the german army suddenly increases

Russia is like: "Sliiide to the left... Sliiide to the right... CRISS CROSS"

India after they got freedom in 1947: *MY TIME HAS COME MAKE SOME NOISE PEOPLE*

Germany's army in 1933: "Ah yes, here we go again."

Germany: *increases army* World: *ah shit here we go again..*

Germany in 1918: *has largest army in the world* Treaty of Versailles: “I’m about to end this man’s whole career”

Pepsi in 1989: *Hold my Cola*

Hey dude, good morning/evening/night, just passing by to give you my gratitude for a very well made video and because our teacher of economics used your video for our class!

Germany : We cool... just 114.000 soldiers.. *Germany 5 seconds after: We cool, JUST 2.942.830 soldiers...*

germany after first and second world war: *ight imma head out*

Its interesting to see the U.S.'s numbers explode from 1861-1865 due to the civil war, then go right back down. Historians often consider it the first modern war resulting from technology coming out of the industrial revolution, and the numbers seem to reflect that.

I love how you can see when a country is in a war when their army goes from 0-100 real fast

2:09 Greece: Whoops, entered the wrong class-excuse me.

I love how you can tell exactly when Russia gets attacked because Russia just spawns a few million troops out of nowhere

I am obsessed with these videos. It's like watching a strategic dance across time.

Indian Army:- Hold my beer kiddo 🇮🇳

everyone: chilling Russia: +100k -100k in the same day

*1919 Germany is gone.* *1925 German crawls to the bottom* 1939 Germany: “Now this is what I call a pro gamer move”

Было бы интересно посмотреть соотношение численность армии / численность населения, или численностей армии / площадь государства

I actually love this song flowing perfectly with the graphs. Thank you

6:11 Germany: *enters graph* Whole world: *sweats nervously*

World War 1and 2: exist This graph: Now it’s time to get funky

4:25 India be like : Hey remember I am also here 🔥🔥

I'm just saying, how do you make these videos? Like I'm so impressed on how well there made and how you keep exact track of active personnel each year. Also a video suggestion: Largest Navies in the World (year) - 2022

this is more intense than any war movie I've seen

*treaty of Versailles happens in 1919* Germany: aight imma head out

Interesting . You can follow world events, wars and politics with this one. - also I’m kind of liking that music. Pretty cool. 📻🙂

1820: Europeans have 13 of the 15 biggest armies 2020: Just 1

I like how the US popped up in the early 1800s like "oops not time yet" 😂😂😂

Germany and France be like : hey Russia can we borrow the the first two positions for few months. Russia : sure

India be like :- that student who never join the class and at last scored 4 in all over the school 🤩🤩 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Proud to be indian

Germany 1939: "The world is ours" Germany 1945: *Germany has left chat*

America in 1864: Lemme just enter the screen and gain 1 million soldiers in a year

2021:- india second largest army , 1.47 millions 🇮🇳

Really interesting. Great if the video had some built in context as well. Some is easy ofc :)

*War is starting* Everybody: WE NEED MORE UNITS *War is over* USA: WE NEED MORE UNITS

2:09 Greece: “Wrong classroom”

Interesting graphic. It would be cool if the timer slowed down in the years that major wars broke out to give a more granular indication of army buildups.

Turkey was Ottoman Empire before 1923. Between 1918-1922 there were two armies. One is ottoman empire, second one was Turkish independence army.

Germany: Returns to top 15 in 1960. Everyone: *intense sweating*

I don't know why but these videos are interesting AF😂

So interesting to see the two world wars in this kind of graph

That music is a bop

Lol USA was just like, "lemme just have a civil war real quick"

China and India: I have more then a billion people so even 1 million in army makes sense North Korea with 20 million population:

It’s fun watching you shoot the bottom and top all the time

To the person reading this comment I hope you have a great day, And a great life❤🥰🙏

Brazil every year: hi, bye

Can you please remake this with more context. PLEASE!!! It would be super interesting to know why the numbers change so drastically.

"The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is a statistic." - Josef Stalin

1933: Germany join the game 1945: Germany was banned because using cheats

Brazil: *Join in the chat* Brazil: hi Brazil: *left the chat*

That background music sounds like some banger you’d hear while playing a mobile game on your iPhone 3

love how france and austria-hungary fight for second place for over a minute straight

Germany: passes everyone to first place in 1939 Me: well I think we all know why

World Wars got everyone like ◀️⬆️↖️↩️⤴️🔄🔃🔁⏫

الجيش العراقي بالمرتبة ٣٤ عالمياً حسب تصنيف الجيوش للعام الحالي ٢٠٢٢ ، عاش العراق العظيم 🇮🇶🇮🇶✌️ . The Iraqi army is ranked 34 th in the world according to the classification of armies for the current year 2022, long live the great Iraq 🇮🇶🇮🇶✌️ .

New video and I literally subscribe

No one: America in a Civil War: Now it’s time to get funky.

Russia be like: Let's just breathe in... And out...

I'm just curious how you get this kind of data? Where would you find it??

Do one on military spending

I love how Brazil was every now and then like "hey, look, we have a big army too!" "Geez that's expensive tho, bye"

3:29 Russia be like: lemme change my name real quick

That little rush of anxiety when Germany's bar starts increasing...

It's really show how countrys get ready for war

France in 1940: When you yell out an answer in class France in 1941: When you find out its wrong

Germany: *Increases army* Europe: *PANIC*

beautiful video

its not the size of the army that matters...its how well they fight and how ell equiped they are...

2:09 Greece: Yo, what's up everyone? Also Greece: Ight imma head out.

North korea Population: 25 Million Army: 1.5 Million Imagine if they had China population...

The stronghold Crusader narrator to Germany in 1919 "Where is your army?"

I loved how everything went crazy when the two world wars happened!

4:08 France: I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move Germany: no you're not France: yeah you're right *vanishes from the top 10*

Nobody: German army in 1919: *Aight imma head out*

Love how you list a Germany army size decades before Germany existed. I love data too. This ain't data.

The music is quite relaxing...

Germany after 1918: Alright, see you again in 20 years.

*Civil War exists* America: "Allow us to introduce ourselves"

1:28 USA:Ok boys lets get this party started Oh shit wrong room

Great piece of Music. What is it?

How to spot a world war: Germany goes from 8 million to 0 in 2 seconds

Literally Russia in the 19th century: *Aight imma head out* *Aight imma come back* *Aight imma head out* *Aight imma come back* *Aight imma head out* *Aight imma come back*

This shows that the power is shifting from West to east

i like how at 1914 every country just spawns in a million troops 💀

1861: *Knock Knock, Its the united states* Literally 2 seconds later: Aight ima head out

Alternate video title: *Why invading Russia is a bad idea*

It’s weird how it starts with all countries in Europe but it ends with only 2.

In the 40s when WW 2 starts Germany goes up then the us is like ",oh hell nah" then boom to the top haha

4:23 Japan : still increase they army World : hey japan world war 2 is already over. 4:31Japan : ops sorry.

Bro Russia from 0:00 to 1:15 was like “Do I want 1,000,000? Or do I not?”

Imagine a country with 0 army.. such a beautiful and peaceful😍

Hubiera sido genial que mostrara los acontecimientos que paso en ciertos años para ver el incremento y descenso de la armada de los paises conforme a sus batallas aunque creo que seria demasiado lioso pero seria genial

RIP to the fallen slodiers😢
