Top 10 Most Terrifying Civilizations

The Top Ten
1 Soviet Union

The soviet union killed millions over a span of time as well as keeping every citizen I complete and constant fear. More and worse than Nazi Germany.

Well in Soviet Russia, toilet flushes you! Well what do the Nazis have to say about that?

Only if you are American and/or conservative...

2 Nazi Germany

I can just imagine the poor Jews and other people that the Nazi's targeted living in and near Germany at this time. I'm really glad I was born after they surrendered.

It would be scary if the Nazis were after you. Hiding in horror as cities burned and got bombed. Soldiers killing the Jews. Imagine what Anne Frank went through.

DUH. The holocaust was terrible. While rest of Europe was flourishing, it was drenched in war.

3 Roman Empire The Roman Empire was a post-Republican period of ancient Rome that lasted from 27 BC to 476 AD. It was characterized by an autocratic form of government and large territorial holdings in Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The Roman legal system and Latin language have had a lasting impact on the... read more

They sent thousands of men and animals to die in the colosseum and many other amphitheatres around the Roman Empire to just entertain the common people. They destroyed entire empire (such as the Carthaginian empire) that opposed them. The Empire's expansion was almost unstoppable. The Emperors could kill thousands of their own citizens by asking for it. Being an enemy of this Empire meant certain death, for them it was a question of how brutally they wanted you to die. Before the invention of gunpowder the weapon that killed the most people in history was the Roman gladius. No one could stop them, they were hardly ever merciful. The Roman Empire is without a doubt the most terrifying.

4 Aztec Empire

One of the fastest falling empires ever. They lost everything because of their terrible works.

5 North Korea The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in Eastern Asia. Its capital is Pyongyang. It is currently ruled by the Juche leader Kim Jong-Un, after inheriting the title from his father, Kim Jong-Il, who in turn inherited it from his father, Kim Il-Sung... read more

The only communist monarchy on the planet.

6 Mongol Empire

Responsible for killing off poor Asian peoples.

There like Nazi Germany before Nazi germany.

Estimates from 30 million to 60 million dead (>15% of the world killed - WWII killed only 2%), with bowmen on horses with conquests starting in 1207 and ending in 1472, won't you be terrified?

7 Viking Empire

They scared the crap out of people where they planned to invade. I also read that they were taller than most other civilians of that time.

8 Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is a country on the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It has a land area of about 2,150,000 km2 (830,000 sq mi), making it the fifth-largest country in Asia, the second-largest in the Arab world, and the largest in Western Asia. It is bordered... read more
9 Apache Tribes
10 Khmer Rouge Cambodia
The Contenders
11 Empire of Japan

The most evil country in World War II due to its various atrocities that are far deadlier than Nazi Germany's. But hey, at least it's democratic and US-friendly now!

Unit 731 is basically the Japanese version of nazi human experimenting

12 Ottoman Empire
13 Celtic Empire

They even murdered their own people! The Celtic kings would put the poor, ill or needy people in-front of their enemy's and their castle on a hill far away so when they see smoke they know the village gas been attacked so they could run away abandoning the people that need help. They would chop off your head and put it on spicks for all to see, like a trophy and would execute them publicly for all to see including family (as in seeing them dye or being execute too just to prove a point and show power) it was sick back then!

14 China China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of more than 1.4 billion. China spans five geographical time zones and borders 14 countries, the second most of any country in the world after Russia. Covering an area... read more
15 Hunnic Empire
16 Maori Civilization

Maori were one of the most powerful ancient civilizations this world has ever witnessed, and still remain that powerful force even to this day. They still remain the only undefeated race, defeating every country and race it has come up against.

17 Kingdom of Israel
18 Assyrian Empire

The torture, methods of war and even how they advanced is enough to put the Assyrians in the top 10.

Torturing methods were scary as hell!

19 Jim Crow South
20 Timurid Empire
21 Belgian Congo
22 Congo Free State
23 United States of America The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the... read more

The world biggest terrorist organisation. The wolf disguised in sheep's clothing.

The sole surviving evil empire after the Cold War in my book.

Not anymore. Joe Biden and vaccinations

24 Sparta

This may be one of the worst
- lets toss weak babies who can't handle wine off a cliff!
- I'm sorry, did you die in child birth or were killed in battle? No? No grave for you. You have dishonored us.
- oh you lost your shield? Didn't you here? Lose your shield, you lose your head.
- lets go kill some athenians and try to bring an end to democracy

25 Cretans

Cretans is terrifying civilization for me because for bloody vendettas (feuds).
