Which is stronger, Germany or France?

Due to Germany's defeat in World War II, the German Bundeswehr has so far been limited to self-defense and humanitarian relief, with 2506 13 active servicemen in the three armed forces. At present, the size of the German Federal Defence Force is not as good as that of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, nor is it comparable to that of France.

France has a long history of French armed forces, which has had many key influences on European history and even world history. The organization generally includes the French Army, the French Navy, the French Air Force and the French National Gendarmerie. With a total population of 779,450, the French army is the largest in Europe and 13 in the world. France's standing military expenditure ranks third in the world (in dollar terms, regardless of the prices of countries) after the United States and People's Republic of China (PRC), and it is the third largest military force with nuclear weapons in the world, second only to the United States and Russia.

In 2007, the French army had134,000 regular soldiers,15,500 reserve soldiers and 25,750 mercenaries.

French navy (French: Marine?

The French navy now has a variety of modern warships, ship-borne missiles and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. By 2007, there were about 42,866 active servicemen and 65,438+00,300 other civilians.
