So few people have said Alexander the Great.

He literally conquered the entire known world.

That's the equivalent to about half of the whole world. That's pretty badass if you ask me.

+1 to chef boyardee, he's conquering the world right now, and you don't even know it :shock:

joan of arc or ark( spelling) the reason for her being awoman was amazing how she disquised and did alll those things

Also Mulan (yes she was reali think) same reason of joan of arc

Mulan was real in a legend, but it was based on real life, so that's pretty cool.

Joan of Arc didn't really do anything. She was just like "God said I should do this". And like, what she said really happened and it's totally cool, but she didn't do that much herself. She just sort of provided supreme moral to all the french.

Probably the most underrated of all time because in statistics alone he did a minute amount, by by military level he was a genius.

Napoleon was pretty bad ass in my opinion. A French speaking midget who rode a white horse.

A lot of people mention Hitler, but they fail to mention the guy who successfully stood up to Hitler after he had conquered all of europe.

Almost all leaders wasnt fighting, so how can you kill them?. So point is, Bin Laden planned all that so good, that he is a great leader...

Best military leader ever is Alexander the Great, the guy conquered the whole known world ( including Persia, assumed as the strongest nation in that time ) in his own, no freaking advisors or what so ever, and how old was this ' kid ' , like 23 years ?

As for Hitler, i'd say Hitler is a better Propaganda user than a military leader. He was indeed a brilliant military leader, but he was even a better propaganda user, that also contributed a lot to his ''succes '' .

@ Fudge, i think you're a focking racist.

@ moloko: Hitler's generals didn't make the biggest mistake of all: invading Russia during winter, his generals actually warned him not to do it, because else he would loose the war. But Hitler, as obstinate he is, did it and he lost the war.

Invading Russia, no matter the time of the year, is the biggest mistake one can do. It's just as simple as that. Russia cannot be conquered by an invasion. You have to be either very stupid either koo-koo

When he was in india, he got the disease. He was doing pretty good, but then his men wanted to leave, and he agreed because it had been raining for days & people kept dying of disease and snakes.
He kept getting worse, and worse... Then he got alittle better. Then he died.

As history has proven several times, in leaving the Russians alone, they will eventually defeat themselves.

go watch Hitler speeches, i actually used to do that before lacrosse games sometimes, they were audio files in my iPod. So much energy, it just really got you pumped.

Pink Floyd even admired him, go watch the wall, 90% about hitlers leadership.
