19th Century under WW II History? Bismark for 19th Century, though Napoleon for early 19th is a good bet

I agree with Bismark and Napoleon. But I would also add (as a negative) Empress Dowager Cixi.

I thought about voting for Abe also. If the Union had not been held together it is difficult to imagine what the world would look like today. |

The most powerful and culturally most influential nation of the nineteenth century was the United Kingdom. For nearly 64 years, the British Empire was ruled by Queen Victoria. And while her political power in a nation that was on its way to become a modern democracy was naturally limited, she was very much the symbol of an era that is often named after her.

Napoleon revolutionized the method that warfare was fought in, and forced Great Britain to search for other means of production, bringing on the Industrial Revolution. He also altered the European political map and lead to a whole new breed of nationalism.

Communism as Karl Marx envisioned is in Cuba but was intended for Germany in the 1800s, and Cuba is moving to capitalism. I think dictatorship in the guise of communism is what the world really got. The problem with egg heads like Marx is that they really don't know what the world most people live in is like. Surprise surprise, if I get the same as what you get not matter how little or much I really work , I'm probably not going to work too hard. I've had history professors who can't run a VCR (yeah, dating myself) and comp sci profs entranced with stories of driving midnight taxi to pay for school. Communism sure ended up being the bogey man for many years so not a bad bet!

Actually...Communism in Cuba is pretty much how Karl Marx envisioned it was the point I was trying to make...Idiot and moron labels aside. The average Cuban while certainly not rich by any stretch of the imagination is probably healthier than the average American. The industrial/military complex has profited well from how we portrayed 'communism'.
