Ghenghis bay-bee....the guy and those who took over for him ruled almost all, if not all of Asia and also had a lot of eastern Europe. He declared himself king at THIRTEEN YEARS OF AGE, was ridiculed for it, became king (or Khan) at 17 and promptly went on a rampage that started with crushing those who had ridiculed him in the first place.

Alexander rocked too but I know too much about him to revere him. :rolleyes: Not to mention he was egotistical enough to think he was actually a God. Voting for him would be like me having to vote for T.O. as the best WR in the NFL....lol :D

patton or rommel they could both read the world and could tell what direction it was heading . had hitler listened to rommel in a couple of situations we probably would have had a much harder time in beating the riech in ww2

and patton laid out to the world at the end of ww2 that we needed to go ahead and fight the russians then because they were going to cause us trouble in the future boy was he right

patton was all these people in previous lives anyhow

I picked Ghengis as well...It was a hard decision though as I like all the guys on here....Patton is my favorite US general of alltime...Rommel aka desert fox...He is my favorite German general of alltime...But the way ghengis conquered people...He was just awesome...

Gotta go with Patton even though he hit a solider! He whooped Hitler's Ass so hes fine by me! And who do you think the great coaches model themselves after just ask Woody Hayes, Lou Holtz, or Bob Knight!

History pointless??? i dunno i just dont see how someone can say that a thread on world history asking your opinion on great conquerors of the past can be pointless....

Anyways, I picked Hitler (Rommel was one of his generals) b/c he organized the blitzkrieg and introduced a plan of attack that civilization had never witnessed. A mechanized, coordinated attack that was precise, deadly, and accurate. It changed warfare forever and the 2003 invasion of Iraq (run by CINC Tommy Franks) was based and planned on the blitzkrieg type warfare, so it's definately still relevant today. Hitler's social policies however are deplorable.

I have full authority to edit any posts, any time. The only people who I don't edit are the other 2 admins.

You were told that it's over, yet you continue on. That was reason enough for me to remove it.

For the record everyone, my post that dudeman erased was a slap at pets, sort of, it mentioned hitler's dog (which is a fact he had one dudeman not that you care about important historical events or FACTS)

for the public record I am now recieving attack messages from dudeman (pm's), I just want everyone to be aware of the truth in case I get "mysteriously" kicked off. Where is Chris, he needs to come in and settle this...
