When examining the size of European military forces near the end of the 19th century, looking at raw data on this can be extremely misleading. Foe example here are the top three European military forces as the age of Imperialism began to take shape;

1. Russia 909,000

2. France 544,000

3. Prussia/Germany 430,000

What is misleading is the fact the the UK is not among the leaders there.

Russia seems to have a huge edge, but it amounted to almost nothing compared to the power of the British Empire. The UK, had a military force of less than 300,000 forces. Yet most historians will say that the British empire was the most powerful force in the world at that time and beyond.

It seems there might be a typo in your question. If you meant to ask about "European countries and their military," many European nations maintain armed forces for national defense and international peacekeeping. Countries like France, the UK, and Germany have significant military capabilities, while smaller nations may have limited forces or rely on alliances such as NATO for security. If you meant something else, please clarify!
