I'm glad you bumped it. Now people are gonna be like, "Why is this thread here again?" :D

I'm gonna go with Xerxes. His arrows blotted out the sun ffs. I have tremendous respect for the man. All he required was a simple tribute of earth and water but that bastard Leonidas had to spit in his face. Even the great Leonidas fell to this God-King though
Semi-Sarcastic if u can't tell

It has also been shown numerous times that fights end fights.

Seriously though, if you look past the horrors he did, he was actually an excellent speaker, with his war machine being responsible for some of the greatest advances in technology and science, and recovered his country's extreme deficit in its economy at the time (following the Treaty of Versailles).

I know it's obviously that he wasn't the greatest of all time, but IMO he is very underrated as a leader for his country since everyone looks at his cons.

Napoleon hands down.

it took several alliances, several tries to finally defeat him. they exile him to an un-industrialized island, and in like 5 years he has an efficient iron mine and an agricultural system developed. he leaves the island and lands in france. the troops sent to capture him (like 100 v 1 or something ridiculous) make him their leader and follow him to paris. when he met the troops after landing in france he said something along the lines of, "I am and your general, if you've come to kill me do it now..."

it's just badass to think that after it took so much to defeat him, he just patiently created the infrastructure needed to leave his prison island, met the troops sent to kill him and told them, I'm in charge let's take paris!

and he had one of the 3 greatest victories in military history. only 3 battles have been complete slaughters i guess, and he was responsible for one.

Thats a retarded quote, it's been shown time and time again that fights only lead to more fights, there are far better ways to "fight" for something than actual battle against other fellow human beings.
