Which is the toughest, smaller country, judging from their military history?
I would say Vietnam
>rebelled agains Chinese rule all the time
>successfully defended against mongol invasion when the mongols were the most powerful
>completely destroyed the French army
>defeated the US even though they were divided
>occupied Cambodia without hardship
>>915112
You forgot the bit that French held them for a century and China for a millenia.
Vietnam, Finland, Israel
Switzerland
Finland's military history is pretty impressive
Vietnam was hard to rule partly because it is covered in jungle, still impressive regardless.
Bhutan managed to stay independent for an extremely long time.
Chile, they started as a small province and their army took the peruvian capital in the Pacific War
I´d also mention Cuba for sending a big expeditionary force to fight in Africa.
>defeated the US even though they were divided
More like North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam.
Vietnam has something like 80 million people so I'm not sure they qualify as a 'small' nation, unless you judge places like Germany, Iran and Turkey by the same criteria
>completely destroyed the French Army
Nope

Bullshit war financed by Germany providing brand new weapons training and money to allow favorable taxation for saltpeter, required to manufacture weapons, until they no longer needed it after they manage to create it in a lab.
Chilel was efectively a mercenary army for european companies, ofc they had the upper hand so no, the small province is nationalistic propaganda bullshit from Villalobos
Ethiopia maybe?
established in 980 BC iirc and is still independent today
only dignified state in Africa prove me wrong

>>915446
Nope, chilean
Google the armament anons, why would a poor country pre-saltpeter based economy have state of the art weaponry? Why would Bismarck respond to the US saying they should allow latinamerican nations to decide their fate, in direct opposition to the Monroe doctrine?
Face it, Chile got paid to do a job. It proved profitable with the copper which was unexpected, but a mercenary army nonetheless

Rwanda after Paul Kagame. His RPF army was considered one of the most disciplined and powerful armies of the 90s, considering the size. Tiny country basically taking down the giant DRC and forcing millions of Hutu refugees back through nearly intractable terrain to reintegrate into Rwanda. Crazy.

Israel is the country equivalent of a 5'5 guy who is obsessed with fitness and masculinity to compensate.
>>915808
Also who was born on a gold craddle and his lawyer daddy has his back everytime he fucks everyone else, getting away with it
>>915230
>military history of not doing anything for the past 400 years
Macedonia
>>915268
>Cuba
Plz no
Ireland, it took centuries to fully take over the Island and even then the populace did not give in. They battered the Vikings literally, Assimilated the Normans into their culture, and have the Anglo's hell on Earth in response to occupation.
>>916578
>>915112
Just leave out the fact they weren't independent for a millenia and got cucked in a week by the Japanese.
>>916245
But anon, such country does not exist at all
Greece probably.
How did nobody mention Portugal?
You disappoint me, /his/
>>916255
> 35.000 - 50.000 troops
> 1000 vehicles, including tanks
> Mig fighters

Tough against WHAT?
They don't even have enough domestic drinking water

Israel is the equivalent of rich 5'5 guy who's surrounded by 6'7 niggers who hate his guts because he wrecked their shit all the time despite of his posture.
>>916723
Moortugal?
I don't know any great historical military leaders outside of Alberto Barbosa. Who was KANGZ AN SHIEEET
>>917814

Either Israel or Switzerland.

Anon, let's be serious.
Niggers got their weapons from SJW's as well though. it was just like:
>nigger #1 - let nigger #2 do all the shit, I'll rob this guy's house after he finished
>nigger #2 - let nigger #3 do all the shit, I'll rob this guy's house after he finished
>nigger #3 - let nigger #1 do all the shit, I'll rob this guy's house after he finished
So he took them one by one like a champ.
