Who do you think is better, Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan?

Travelling around and murdering those you find over there has no ''Greatness'' at all.
Both were hooligans, in my eyes - - - successful hooligans, though.

If tasked to choose only between the two, I would go with Alexander.

[Julie4]

Yes I think Alexander was the best. He managed to defeat the Persian Empire which was surely the greatest power of the time.

[Bluemax]

In faith I don't care who was the greater strategist. Both were aggressors and war causes suffering. What I prefer about Alexander over Khan is that in addition to being a conqueror, Alexander was a builder. He didn't just sack and raze cities, but sometimes spared them and established institutions and buildings that outlasted him. He also valued education and literacy, something he seemed to promote.

Khan did none of that.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

Both mass murdering monsters of humans. The Ghengis khan would brag about raping women, and see how many he can rape from a single village

[Andres77]

They were both mass murderers and I don't admire them for anything they did.

[OddBeMe]

Just not being homo makes us all related Ghengis. Not being phobic…just saying.

[Passing_by]

Alexander. From what I have read, he was more humane than the other.

[bigpauly]

I don't know lol I guess Genghis Khan seemed more successful

[MountAverage]

Better at being genocidal psychopaths?

[CuriousMufuxka]

Well Alex is way more ripped..
