Bane, no, we didn't. Germany could've crushed the U.S. in world war 2 if they weren't worn down by attrition

I voted for China, few modern countries can lay claim to having more history than them. Plus China has not experienced much boredom in it's lifetime between all the dynasties rising and falling and then the communists later.

That's a debatable statement, especially since the Nazis didn't have a very reliable way to attack and invade the U.S. (Also considering the size and population of the U.S any invasion of the country would be a logistics nightmare)

If Germany and America 1v1'ed it would be like two people trying to slap each other and failing across a table

no.

we still would've won, in a 1v1 in world war 2. Undoubtedly, Germany had better Generals, and overall better technology, but the Nuclear Bomb would've completely changed the battleground if Germany had continued to fight.

EDIT: we also had a larger and better navy, meaning its unlikely Germany could've invaded the USA by sea if they had conquered Europe.

Europeans also kinda smell funky :/

Uk, though British Isles also: At first occupied by my many ancient tribes, invaded by Rome, invaded by Saxons, invaded by Normans, epic medieval period including the 100 years war and the crusades, English civil war, Spanish Armada, British colonisation creating the worlds biggest empire 25% of the world controlled by a little island, defeated Napoleon, endured two horrific world wars defeating the Germans twice, remain a reasonable strong power in the world today, and still have an active monarchy. And this is just the basics.

defeated Napoleon

xD

Not really, Napoleon was defeated because an entire european coalition was against him, UK alone could not do anything. And I would say Russia was the main cause of Napoleon's next defeats.

^

true

Napolean enters russia with 600,000, leaves russia with 30,000.

I didn't say single handidly...but had quite a large part in it. We wouldn't have won without the coalition.

The Germans defeated the British more than the British defeated them

The British are Germans

Are you high? The British descended from Anglo-Saxons a Germanic people. Not to mention the British royal family is from Germany.

I think Skourby's post was supposed to be funny, not ridiculing.

I shot down his joke like a American helicopter over Somalia

^proof that america descended from the heavens and has a history unknown to mere mortals

Italy seemed a little underrated. They affect every nation's histories because they affected Europe, they also led an interesting course during the world wars. They also have interesting internal history, and know great conquest, being conquered, expansive fascism and wealthy trade empires, and are the seat of arguably the most influential religion.

the front left tire was a little underated. it was apart of the car that hit the kid with ebola that infected the entire hospital he had to go to.

Matter of fact, this is really disproportionate. Germany is overrated, uk is somewhat overrated, usa is a little overrated, Arabia and Japan have nothing? ! China, Russia and Persia deserve a little more, and Greece is a little underrated.
Most others are close to correct.
