I would also like to point out that Dooku had the help of Darth Sidious in gaining allies not to mention the fact that the major corporations had a weakness for money which would not be hard for Dooku to come by.
He persuaded a bunch of Padawans who were already disappointed by the Council's decision not to assist the Republic. Most Padawans are reckless like Sha'Gi, Anakin, hell even Obi-Wan when he was young. So thats not suprising. Revan only persuaded a handful of Knights to leave. Dooku pursuaded Sora Bulq a Jedi Master to go the the Dark Side, that is impressive. Considering that only twenty Jedi Masters in the History of the Jedi have ever left the Order. And many defy the Council: Qui-Gon, and Dooku included, both were estemed Jedi Masters
Jesus H. Christ. Do you not understand? The Empire's military build up was "unprecedented in galactic history" complete with much stronger capital ships and versatile fighters. They managed to not only rule the entire galaxy (no organization can ever claim as much) but upon Palpatine's return, conquered it by force in a year.
The Confederacy nor the Vong nor the Rebels nor the Republic nor Revan's army nor the Empire of the Hand nor the Infinite Empire nor the Ssi Ruuk nor the Galactic Alliance nor the New Galactic Empire compare. Ever. The end. Period.

No I understand that it is the largest SINGLE build up in history a combined armada may be more effective
You're... just not understanding. The Empire didn't rule through sheer size; they ruled through size and technology. Despite being heavily outnumbered, ship-to-ship, the Republic's navy was kicking the utter horseshit out of the Confederacy's. As I recall, it would take a dozen or more of the IBC's or Corporate Alliance's capital ships to deal with an Old Republic Star Destroyer. The Imperial-class, Super-class, and Executor-class just dominate anything that the Vong or Confederacy can bring to the table.

Seriously, you have to shut up and read what Gideon's saying. You're gonna be branded a dumbass if you continue. And what the hell is "prowest."
Look, imagine if the Soviet Union as of 1985 was experiencing an economic explosion and rebuilt their tank armada to include only T-80's and built atleast 2,000,000 of them in two years. By 1987, the tanks were as comfortable as the Abrams and had equal trainig as our tank commanders and had equal armor.
Now, they anexx India, China, Nepal, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. 35% of their population(men and women) are drafted into the army and the tank fleet has been bolstered to 4,500,000.
Now think, would all of the nato tank forces combined(no air support) even last a day against this.

Also, ever heard or a female Jedi Master Arren Kae?
She also fought alongside Revan during the Mandalorian Wars.
Hence, your information is in-correct.
