In modern history, Europe once had the most powerful military force in the world. However, after two devastating world wars, the United States and the Soviet Union became superpowers, and most European countries could not keep up with the pace of the United States and the Soviet Union. After the end of the Cold War and the withdrawal of the Soviet Union from the historical stage, the military capabilities of most European countries further shrank. Although the military strength of European countries is no longer brilliant, they still have the military strength to master the most advanced technology in the world.

1, Russia

Since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Russia's military strength and military industrial base have greatly shrunk. Nevertheless, with the support of powerful nuclear weapons, Russia is still one of the powerful military forces in Europe, and only the United States can compete with it.

2. France

According to the article, France has always had the most powerful military force in continental Europe. Unlike Britain, France retains a completely independent nuclear deterrent and an independent industrial base. It has its own ballistic missile nuclear submarine, equipped with missiles developed by France and equipped with French warheads. The air-based and land-based nuclear deterrent forces of Mirage 2000N bomber and ASMP missile designed by France were also adopted.

3. Britain, Britain

At one time, Britain held the most powerful military power in the world-the Royal Navy was once the overlord at sea, and the British army established a huge colonial empire and ruled a large area of the world. Today, Britain is still an awesome force, but it no longer has warships that can cross the world. Its missiles need to be provided by the United States, and nuclear tests also need the guidance of the United States.

4. Germany

After two disastrous world wars in the 20th century, Germany's military strength did not develop much. Germany was divided for a long time in the last century. During the Cold War, both East Germany and West Germany had strong military strength, and the Bundeswehr in West Germany was even better equipped. However, after the end of the Cold War and the reunification of East and West Germany, there was little military power left in Germany.
