    I think of any one country got desperate enough, they would use the nukes. Or if a radical leader comes into play of let's just say Russia, we could see Nukes detonating because of governmental orders.

    Japan? They can't even have a military under the treaty they signed with America after the Pacific War.

    UK used to be number 1, back in the 19th century.

    However, they're no longer even number 1 in Europe, much less number 2 in the world... truth is, Germany has been more powerful than UK since it re-united.

    But any individual European country is weak in comparison to the top single countries.

    Again, Germany isn't allowed to have a strong military under the treaty the signed with the Allies.

    That's hardly a weak military...

    But I'm going to revise my statement and say that Germany has the strongest Army in western Europe, but their navy is weaker in comparison with Britain.
