These Are The World's Strongest Militaries

Germany

During the height of World War II, Germany had over 3.5 million active troops fighting for the nation, but the numbers have drastically decreased every year since losing. Today, only about 60,000 active troops and 325,000 reserves are willing to fight for Germany. They are ranked 4th worldwide for military strength. 

Turkey

The Turkish Armed Forces are pretty well-armed, as they are the second-largest standing NATO military force. In 2015, the nation had 639,551 military, civilian, and paramilitary personnel helping to keep everything afloat. The country is ranked 11th overall for military strength in comparison to other nations.
