What was the best Military force(and Battle) of all time? *Edit*

Alexander the great and his macedonians. While Genghis did conquer more land, the land was all empty.
I would also say these should qualify:
The 1945 soviet military force
Napoleon's fusiliers
And of course the modern Chinese land army

However, military is getting smaller and smaller, replaced by more and more missiles and technological warfare.

The Macedonians conquered only the Middle East, while the Mongols took the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and North China.

Although as others have said, the British had their virtue. The difference with the British is that they tended to largely avoid major threats to their power, aside from Napoleon, Wilhelm II, and Hitler (and arguably Hitler and the Japanese did manage to off the British, just not to conquer them).
