3. Ummmmm
It will be interesting to see if anybody has any statistics or if there will just be gut feelings on this one.

Probably between us and the Soviets, though, I would imagine. Chinese on an outside chance.

4. Most casualties: China. Most wars: England.
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 07:38 PM by rsammel
The PRC has murdered about 40 million of its own countrymen and conquered minorities within the border of its empire since 1949.

As to the most wars, that would depend on whether or not to count Soviet policing actions in Eastern Europe. If you don't, England is probably the winner, with the wars at the end of its major colonial era outrunning America's wars in Latin America.

5. Which nation has fought on the most foreign soil to liberate poor bastards
from governments leaning too far to the left to please the far right? Which country since WWII has killed and maimed the most people on their own soil, liberating them first from the red scourge until the fall of the Soviet Union, and now liberating them from the new bogeyman?
