Revan's was also comprised of a good chunk of the Republics best veterans, he basically split the force in half. If instead, Revan had used his genius, the full Jedi Order and the total Republic force against Vitiate they could have stood a chance.

Revan clearly thought that the Republic wasn't adequately equipped to take on Vitiate, since that was his motivation for starting the war. I see no reason to trust your guess - which seems to be based on nothing, tbh - over his having actually seen the Empire, and knowing the Republic's own capabilities.

His motivation was getting brain blasted by Vitiate. If all he really cared about was beating Vitiate he'd have just used the Star Forge + Foundry to help the Republic beat him. He didn't even remember the Empire after his memories being corrupted from breaking V's control I'm pretty sure. Thanks Drew!

The Republic was weak before the Mando Wars, they were still rebuilding from the war against Kun and Ulic. The Republic wasn't at full strength again until almost just prior to the war with the Vitiate, and the Empire pretty much dominated them; only calling a truce because; wait for it.....Revan convinced him to. Pretty heroic to me.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenDThat's what I said. "The Republic wasn't at full strength again until almost just prior to the war with the Vitiate", implying they were at full strength when Vitiate attacked. Though yeah they probably full recovered before I gave them credit for.
The Republic was absolutely prepared for war by the time Empire arrived. Bad luck on the part of Vitiate I suppose.

Or he didn't trust the Republic enough to "work" with it any more than he trusted them in SoR.
