I was always facinated by alexander the great. He did a lot considering he died when he was 30.

[jennifer_bloom]

I know 3 names on that list and I don't like them cause they kill people. Nobody who kills thousands of people deserves to be honoured.

All of them had their downfalls due to stupidity. Except Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. Kicked Napoleons ass all over Europe.

Alexander the great never lost a battle though...

[OddBeMe]

Yeah dying young has advantages.

Did you know there’s a theory Alexander was buried alive? Apparently he had an affliction that made him look dead and paralytic. His entourage and (cough, beneficiaries) could've buried him alive all too quickly to claim their portion of the empire.

"And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."

- Plutarch

[Grond21]

In terms of battles won, Napoleon is the best by a very wide margin

Genghis Khan had the most success out of all them despite only uniting tribes of uncivilized barbarians with primitive weapons

Sun Tzu, obviously, he literally wrote the book which everyone refers to constantly.

[andreasderjuengere]

To me that would be:

Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald

[Massageman]
