Top 10 Most Powerful Forces in The World


War has always been there ever since the creation of man. The solution of a contradiction has always been war. Evolution occurred with the passage of time and as man grew wiser so did his techniques of war. Countries and borders were formed and were stated to be a result of civilization. These civilized countries formed their own armed forces for defense from the rival and the neighboring countries.
