Frankly, though, if it's conquest you're after, I wouldn't mess with any of the council races. The salarians would disable you before you had the chance to fight back, the turians would bombard absolutely everything that moved, and the asari would get nasty with their biotics.
Worst of all, they'd team up against you.

The Salarians might cause us some trouble with the STG, but it's easy to pick out aliens trying to infiltrate a human world or base.
The Asari just simply don't have the stomach for a fight as a culture. They'd try to play diplomacy and commando while their industry is getting pounded to dust. Guerrilla warfare might cause casualties, but it doesn't win wars.
The Batarians tried to fight us and lost already, so they're hardly a real threat.
The Geth don't want inhabitable planets, so they will have no real reason to want to fight the Alliance.
The Quarians don't even have a homeworld right now, and even if they reclaim Ranoch, they've got a long time before their population rebounds.
The Krogan lack the unity and numbers to pose a strategic threat to the Alliance. This could change in the future if the Genophage is cured, but that will take a few generations.
The Rachni still need time to rebuild their numbers before they're a threat again.
The Hanar, Drell, Volus, and Elcor lack the military muscle to pose a significant threat.
I think that covers my threat assessment of the sapient species. Did I miss any?

My money would be on the Turrian Hierarchy. They're the only ones with the millitary logistical muscle to beat us i a fight, and they've got the testicular fortitude to actually make a fight out of it.

My Shepard shall put groups like Cerberus, and Terra Firma, to waste. They are not only a detriment to the rep of Humans but they are also a threat to an allied Galaxy against the Reapers, they "weaken" our Galaxy, thus, all supremacist groups (Cerberus, Terra Firma, the Batarian Hegemony) must be eliminated, to ensure the survival of the Milky Way Galaxy.

So you would side with an alien species to prevent your own from gaining dominance in the galaxy? If that's not a deffinition of treason, I don't know what is.Interactive Civilian wrote...

I could tolerate the idea of allowing the Alliance to carpet bomb Alien homeworlds in order to bring them to heel, but establishing Human dominance for its people is the purpose of a government, regardless of the means that it uses.

My Shepard would totally agree. She doesn't even hate Batarians (Spacer, War Hero) but slaughters them mercilessly anyway because they're a threat to Galactic stability. Same with killing Vido and decimating all merc groups.That Yellow Bastard wrote...

A page taken from the book of Darth Revan, obviously.
On OP's topic, the Turians. For every possible reason.

Aside from a hefty military and innate biotic abilities, they have two modes to wage war with. The obvious being the violent death-race, the second being the ability to simply wage a silent war through seducing the population and lowering the human birthrate. Nobody would see it coming until you wake up and half your species is gone, ripe for the picking.
Salarians might be dangerous, as their Tech is formidable... But without hefty military might or the ability to wage war over decades without significant drops in numbers, I'd put them second.
The Turians and Krogans are in the same boat to me. Tough, but that's about it.
The Batarians don't bother me. Seeing as how most we see aren't well-off, their military may be fierce, but they don't have staying power -and may not have enough firepower to begin with.

And why, pray tell, is Turian, Asari, Salarian, Krogan, or Batarian dominance preferable to Human dominance?primero holodon wrote...
Whoever it is, I'm rolling with them. Human dominance is a terrible idea.
The old system will not survive the Reapers, not in any form that we recognize, anyways. Someone's going to come out on top, but you would condem your own species to servitude?

and since when were the batarians, turians,Asari, salarians and Krogan held a higher place than Humans? the Krogan have no representation on the citidel, the same for the Batarians, and since humanity gained a seat on the council they have just as much power as the salarians, turians nd asari. I see no reason why any of the races you listed is worthy of dominating all other life.SandTrout wrote...

My Cmdr. Shepard is a SpecTRe of the Citadel. Allowing humans to gain dominance at the expense of the Citadel races would actually be treason. Humanity is not a united government or a sovereign nation. I cannot commit treason to them. Also, considering how many crimes and atrocities humans perpetrate against themselves, I'm not buying into any notion of "species loyalty". My Cmdr. Shepard's most trusted friends and loyal allies are not human.In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of betrayal of one's sovereign or nation. ...
Finally, the idea of "human dominance OR other alien dominance" is a false dichotomy. My Cmdr. Shepard does not want any ONE species to dominate, but believes the unity of the Galactic Communty is best for a stable and more secure future for all life in the galaxy.

The Asari Republics are the biggest threat if they embargo the Alliance, it would collaspe the Alliance's economy
