Simple, this debate is on which country was the best fighting force throughout WWI.

My opinion: Canada was the best fighting force, they were credited with the victory at Vimy Ridge when they captured it on their first attempt with a significantly less amount of casualties then Britain and France who had tried several other times to capture it, but failed. The battle of Vimy Ridge was the most important battle towards winning the war, as it was a key point in France. They were also credited with the Paschendaele victory.

In the poll I will list the main fighting forces, if you support the less important forces feel free to post them.


It's also important to remember that the important thing is not which country was the strongest it was that men from around the world came together and fought as one while many lost their lives it brought our world peace.

My apologies, I forgot about Australia & New Zealand, I cannot edit the poll :( . - Austria-Hungary as well.

The reason the US isn't up there is because they didn't contribute shit. They entered the war in 1917 because a German U-boat had sunk an american passanger ship. By the time they entered the war was pretty much already over for germany, they took all the glory for doing nothing as usual, typical americans.

Germany was highly succsesfull in WWII. They dominated Holland, Belgium & the Netherlands in under 18 days. They took France easily in just over a month. They plowed through Russia because the Soviet's weren't expecting an attack since Hitler & Joseph Stalin signed a non-agression pact which took place so Hitler wouldn't be attacked by the Russians when he first invaded Poland.

I do agree Britain has the best air-force during the battle of Britain they destroyed 2400 German aircraft while only loosing 600 of their own.

Yes, but Hitler bit off more than he could chew. They may have had the best military but Britain had the best Air Force.

Technically, but honestly, Britain did squat shit when Australians and New Zealanders were being slaughtered up in Gallipoli, and who's fault was that, oh wait, Britain. I honestly think Britain was the lowest of lows in WW1.

No, the lowest of lows in WWI was the USA. They entered with less then a year left before the end of the war and took all the glory. They wouldn't have entered if their passenger ship wasn't sunk by a German U-boat.
