    I like your list, AB - however, Lee is not a conqueror. However, he is definitely one of history’s top 10 commanders, in my opinion.

    Conqueror - someone who invaded another country/nation and defeated them (Alexander is the classic textbook example).

    Rommel is a gray area (France 1940) and Lee is not a conqueror, but they are some of history’s best leaders. I would rank Lee in the top 8, personally.


  • In best commanders I have:

    1. Alexander The Great
    2. Rommel
    3. Khan
    4. Patton
    5. Lee
    6. Augustus Ceaser
    7. Cyrus
    8. Charlmegn
    9. Mehemed II
    10. ?


  • Empireman, Hannibal belongs on your list.

    I think Pyrrhus of Epirus should belong on these lists as well. Hannibal himself rated him the second best general in antiquity, behind Alexander…

    I realize you point, and it crossed my mind. But as a Southern I had to add Lee to the list.

    Every good list needs some controversy.


  • Oh I agree with you - Florida boy here, he is one of the top 5 Generals/Commanders/Leaders in history.

    Just not a Conqueror. That is a completely different term.


  • People put Alexander over Khan?  Why is that?  I’d put Khan 1 and Alexander 2.

    Just ask William Shatner who should be first.


  • Jermofoot, I believe Alexander is thought higher than Khan because he was a product western culture and had more of a lasting effect on the world. The west glorifies Alexander’s conquering the East, while cringing at the thought of eastern conquerers.


  • Temujin (Ghenghis Khan) > Alexander.

    He started with few barbarians in Mongolia, He seized Chinese cities without knowing what warmachine where, he conquered today’s Russia and fought against technologically advanced troops (heavy knights and such), he founded the biggest empire of human history. (The Yuan Dinasty).

    But the majority of Westerners won’t admit a Mongolian accomplished a lot more than Alexander.

    (and it was at Khubilai Khan’s court that Marco Polo wrote the “Milione”)

    Ghenghis failed to conquer the fact that he’s Mongolian, and history doesn’t care about what happend over there.

    Alexander > Khan.

    Every month should be White History month!
