The World’s Strongest Militaries That Protect Their Country

Algeria

Algeria’s population is 41 million but has a military of 800,000 people – more than 10 times the amount of Canada. At any given time, 420,000 of these are in active duty. The remaining members are part of the reserves and must be called up if necessary.

Most of Algeria’s armed forces focus on ground support. This means it has 1,105 combat tanks and ground-to-ground support. The budget per year comes in at just under $13 billion, which means it has far fewer financial resources despite its size.
