Time lapse of Every Battle in History

Some dude went to Wikipedia and superimposed every battle the website has listed onto a map of the globe. He also kept tabs on the Top 10 "winningest" nations throughout history.
YouTube
If you don't want to watch the 5+ minute video, the final Top 10 are as follows:
1. France - 1,115 battles won
2. Great Britain - 1,105 battles won
3. United States - 833 battles won
4. Russia - 491 battles won
5. Germany - 425 battles won
6. Spain - 387 battles won
7. Poland - 344 battles won
8. Rome - 259 battles won
9. China - 244 battles won
10. Turkey - 210 battles won

Their current reputation is not indicative of their historical military prowess.
quote:
4. Russia - 491 battles won 5. Germany - 425 battles won
Both overrated.

So China, a county with thousands of years of history only won 244 battles?
For some odd reason I just don’t believe that

You have to take into account the years in which China wasn't a united nation. They are numerous.

Yeah. Still farrrrrrrrrrr too low. Just noticed it’s only the list of battles on Wikipedia. So that explains why

China has been so isolated and haven’t gotten into other countries business is why they have so little battles.
On the other hand, the U.S. with 833 victories with the relatively short history compared to European nations is quite impressive. #Merica

Yeah........ that isn’t accurate at all

A lot of the USA wins were from the civil war.

I like to think I keep pretty up to date on current events but I must have slept through the Battle of Des Moines and the Battle of Jacksonville in 2011.

A lot more battles in Illinois than I thought.
Posted on 1/14/19 at 8:42 pm to RollTide1987
Eh, show me the winning percentages.

The only factor that matters.

Ummm, really? How are they isolated? Maybe from Europeans, but modern day China borders 14 fricking countries. That’s more shared borders than any other country. Italy by comparison is way more isolated than China.
Plus if you did an average across the centuries, China and its various dynasties are almost certainly the richest country overall in history. There were big, big reasons to invade China if you could muster the force to take them on. Why do you think they built a big fricking wall? It’s not because they were isolated.

Now do one with battle raps

Can't watch the video at the moment but what do they list as the first battle in recorded history?

It also looked like they gave both Union and Confederate wins to the United States, as the US jumped up from the Civil War but there was no corresponding CSA win spike.

Democrats and welfare destroying their middle class and eroding their culture?

Probably the mythical Yellow Emperor vs Flame Emperor

Damn, I was rooting for the Sea Peoples! I feel like an Arkansas fan now.
