Germany’s armed forces weren’t at their peak in 44, they were devastated and running out of manpower by then.. not an accurate video for sure

These should be ranked in relation to population size.
Relatively-speaking, the US in 1945 wasn't even breathing hard.

Think you missed the British/Empire army ... Looking it up .. "The largest size the British Army reached in its history was during World War II. At its peak in 1945, the British Army numbered about 2.9 million personnel. This immense size was due to the massive mobilization required to fight in multiple theatres of war across Europe, Africa, and Asia. This figure includes regular army units, territorial units, and other auxiliary forces that were raised for the war effort."

Han Dynasty also had a large and powerful army that defeated the Huns.

The roman army had nowhere near 500K soldiers in the first century. Augustus even made a point out of it to restricting the amount of legions to the minimum for the simple reason that a standing army costs tons of money. Augustus himself also witnessed the immense pension problems ceasar had with his vets. Romans preffered quality over quantity pretty much untill the third century crisis. While ofcourse the number changed over a 100 years depending on the amount of direct threats the empire had, it usually varied between 24 and 32. +/- 5K a legion means more like 150k. You can add auxilaries but you wouldn't reach more than 250k. Hence why He and Tiberius shit such massive bricks after teutoberg forrest. Losing over 10% off your entire army in a day . Also puts into perspective how pissed off Hadrianus was with the jews to land in judea with 50K+

Interesting videos but one zero can be deducted from each army's number of men. There were no 100 thousands men armies in Egypt at the time of Ramses and the Persians didn't have an army of half a million. These are dreamed up numbers.

There is just one problem. In medieval times, likely also ancient times, people had a different relationship to numbers. So often they would note that the armies were bigger to better convey the grandeur and conceived strength of them… Take this from a professional archaeologist with an expertise in castle warfare who has this specific information from Denmark’s leading historian on this matter.

Genghis Khan once face to face with Jurchen Empire in single battlefield, stretching over than 750, 000 army. It was the ocean of armies that even Genghis Khan amazed. Meanwhile Mongol army he led was not even a third of that amount. The battle won easily by Mongol as Jurchen commander never once set foot on battlefield before and was appointed due to corruptions.

the one guys army who built the wall to prevent giants from roaming the earth and massacring humans gets no credit?

abubakaromer

The size of these armies is exaggerated. Ramses II did not have 100, 000 men and Cyrus even fewer 500, 000!

How many were fighters and how many were cooks. drivers or clerk typists.

Inaccurate. Qin army in 221BC is estimated to be 1million. 600K were committed against Chu.

Just getting my feet wet in storytelling and video experimentation, you know? VideoGPT quietly slipped into my workflow, adding that sophisticated touch to my content.
