The Ottoman army were the "Jannisaries" I think. The Sultan's personal elite army. And if ı remember, they were very dedicated soldiers and earned a reputation. They took young boys from their lands into slavery to the Sultan but trained in all aspects of being a soldier. Maybe cruel by today's culture, but I mean if you were a slave in those days, what else did you have to live for? And weren't they even paid a little bit as well?

Both pale in comparison to the British army of the British empire, we conquered and ruled two thirds of the globe. The ottomans and Ghengis Kahn did not command an empire anywhere near that size.

You must be a fool. Genghis Khan commanded the largest empire known to mankind from China to Hungary. and Ottoman Empire had as much territories if not more than British empire (all of central asia, arabian peninsula,whole North Africa and Eastern Europe )

Ghengis Kahns conquered territory was nowhere near the size of the British empire, the British empire was the largest empire in world history. You are the fool.


Mongol empire





British Empire





Are you blind ?

Well i read in a book and besides i read British Empire only controlled the eastern part of Australia and only the southern territories of Canada and Afghanistan was never under British control. Flawed picture

Britain's global domination was won on the back of its navy, not its army.

Not to badmouth the Redcoats of the time, they were highly disciplined and determined and man for man they were probably better then most of their contemporaries. However, the British Army lacked the size (And hence power) to really be considered the Greatest in History.

Imperial Japanese army were pretty damned ruthless and efficient.

This topic is reagrding the best army, the Japanese do not come close so why are you mentioning them ?

Their training and tactics were supreme, they were also unstoppably ruthless. The Americans only beat them on numbers and a certain large bomb.
