Robert Monroe Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Have to go with the Macedonians. Alexander the Great conquered the entire known world.A lot of empires have conquered their "entire known world". Also pre-gunpowder is a misleading term. The Chinese have had gunpowder since the 1000s or 1100s, putting them far ahead in the curve.Anyway, if we're going off just PURE military power, then I'm tilting towards Mongols. They had amazingly efficient raiding styles, conquered pretty much the entire Asian continent, and prior to their attack, Baghdad was one of the culture centers of the world, and one of the largest cities around. After the Mongols, they lost one of the largest libraries of the time (information we will never get back), and the city was pretty much hammered into a low period that it STILL HAS NOT RECOVERED FROM. The Mongols effectively nuked Baghdad for the next 1000+ years.Again though this is just military might and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Monroe Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 If this hasn't been said already, the Samurai!Um... which Samurai? Japanese military history is very much divided into several eras and leaders of the eras with their own factions. Saying "samurai" is like saying "knights" or "immortals" or "cataphracts".Also the samurai were actually pretty shitty on the glocal scale of things.

fox1235 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 After looking it up it turns out the Mongols were the 2nd biggest country ever after the British Empire, so techincally you could call it the biggest country ever to be forged without guns.

Are you sure about that? I mean the Mongols had basically all of Asia under their grasp back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British, on the oth'r hand, often archieved victor' over the'r enemi's due to the fact that they were the only on's with guns on the battlef'eld.And many land wasn't even conquered by them. They were given as 'peace conditions' from other european nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
