Greatest Conqueror in History?

[yackbrah]

So many conquered Europe but Genghis was the only one to truly conquer Asia.

[Astyanax]

Are we talking people who actually led armies into battle, or emperors/rulers, too?

Qin shi huangdi is definitely up there... First emperor of China, the oldest nation in the world.

Ramses II

Khalid bin Walid

Mehmet II

Salahuddin

[iBundy]

The Mongol empire under Genghis Khan was the largest contiguous empire in recorded history so he is by definition the GOAT conqueror.

He also f*cked so many sloots that an actual % of the world population is his descendant.

With the exception of Khalid, these men were all regional leaders, at best.

Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass, are they GOAT?

[Reef58]

The correct answer is Timur

I forgot to add rommel.

If you never heard of those guys, you must have had one ****ty education.

[Hitz69]

I heard of every emperor/leader listed in the OP but none that you mentioned.
Dude you are a tryhard *******, probably just done reading some 3rd world history book and you're rattling off names as if you know something about the world. Nobody learns about the guys you mentioned in normal high school, gtfoh.

[Astyanax]

With the exception of Khalid, these men where all regional leaders, at best.

The first man to unify China was a regional ruler? What are you saying?

Also, I thought we were talking brilliance, too. Not just land mass.

Mehmet II had his men drag his fleet over land in order to conquer Constantinople. He is one of the most famous conquerors of all time.

Ramses II was the greatest Pharoah of all time, in what was then the mightiest empire on earth.

Rommel and Saladin need no introduction.

Misc needs to read more.

Dude, stop it.

Dude, stop it.

In other words, you have no real response.

Brah, FlaviusStilicho called you out. You were rattling off regional poverty kings trying to sound smart cos you knew anyone with a life hasn't heard of them. Lol dumb *******

[BillBillson]

Since the poll asks GOAT conqueror, it has to be Alexander or Genghis. If the question included military leadership id say Julius Caesar or Napoleon.

[Astyanax]

Don't be proud of your ignorance, moron. These people are all taught about in high school. I'm not "trying to sound smart".

[HighImpulse]

Caesar alright.

The Romans were all about aesthetics.

[FlaviusStilicho]

Wrong Caesar, bro.

[HighImpulse]

Wrong Caesar, bro.

you sure?

stoic, built jaw.

Two men, one name.

Doesn't military leadership come with being a conqueror?

[Phal4nx]

I think he's referring to how effective they were at being a military leader

Aurangzeb > Timurlane

-2nd son to nikka who wanted the Taj Mahal made for his oneitis
-executed older bro for heresy, younger bro for murder and drove youngest bro out to be murdered by locals in some far off corner
-ruled roughly 30% of world population (150 mill.), empire covered most of the indopak subcontinent
-executed the 9th Sikh Guru after local Hindus and Muslims complained of Sikh militancy
-kept East India Company (Brits) in check
-6 wives, 10 kids

paajis hate him.

[SupremeGlory]

All of you don't know Attila was the badass before most of theses guys arrived in the scene


Even before Ghengis Khan

[TheAntiMonitor]

Don't be proud of your ignorance, moron. These people are all taught about in high school. I'm not "trying to sound smart".

The guys I posted guys have quality and quantity in their titles and are also more known. They'd beaten the best of the best at that time and also conquer a lot of land mass, along with influencing the conquered regions.

Most of the guys you mentioned don't hold a candle to the guys I posted in quantity of area cnquered and quality of opponents.

No hard feels tho, Mehmet, Ramses and Rommel are cool guys in my book. But they are a tier underneath these guys.

[UncleFranz]

At least 1-3% of the world can trace their lineage to Genghis Khan guy had game. Add in the fact that he had to work from a single tribe to the khan of Mongolia then take over most of Asia middle east and Europe he's the best

Yeah mane, I thought Attila would be up there with Caesar at LEAST.

Cool guy. He searched heaven and earth for Alexander's armour.

[TheAntiMonitor]

Damn. No love for Timur, Attila or Cyrus it seems


Cyrus imo is underrated as fuark. Took out the Babylons at their peak.


srs mirin the conquerors from back then. Their names are forever burned into history.


brb title "Roman the Undefeated"


Napoleon has insane feats too. brb France vs Great Britain, Russia, Austria, Spain, Portugal and Prussia. 5 being world-powers at the time.

No hate, but all the aforementioned leaders in the OP I feel had larger accomplishments than your mentioned ones (although I suppose one may make a claim for walid)

And tbh, I don't know why you mentioned Rommel. Of all the Nazi generals, Manstein was the superior general. Rommel was no doubt a competent general and an excellent divisional commander, but he lacked foresight and vision of the "bigger picture" that is innate with all good generals.

I understand the romanticism Rommel gets for his good standing morals and performance in the desert, but he is very overrated as a general, especially compared to the likes of Manstein, Guderian and Patton.

Aurangzeb > Timurlane

-2nd son to nikka who wanted the Taj Mahal made for his oneitis
Sloots gonna sloot.
-executed older bro for heresy, younger bro for murder and drove youngest bro out to be murdered by locals in some far off corner
Alpha?
-ruled roughly 30% of world population (150 mill.), empire covered most of the indopak subcontinent
-executed the 9th Sikh Guru after local Hindus and Muslims complained of Sikh militancy
They didn't agree with the forced conversion practices, so they fought against it. The Mughal Empire under Aurangzeb's rule feared increasing Sikh Militancy (makes sense tbh, if I was a ruler I would stop any rebellion). After the death of the 9th Guru, the Khalsa was created, further increasing Sikh Militancy and creating the Sikh Empire (so he kind of dun goofed).
Also the 9th Guru was executed for Blasphemy, lmao. Execution and torture practices were pretty cruel, I recommend everybody search it, interesting comparing it to Europe.
-kept East India Company (Brits) in check
They couldn't keep anyone in check, Aurangzeb over expanded his territory to fast, rebellions were happening everywhere. East India Company had no problem taking over the Mughal Empire, how did they keep them in check when East India Company colonized India in the end?
-6 wives, 10 kids
Mirin, but that was common at that time. My grandfather had 10 kids with one wife, lmao.

paajis hate him.

Aurangzeb has some pretty good traits, he was frugal, preferred to spend all revenue on war and expansion rather than luxuries like Akbar. But Akbar was more interested in luxurious and expensive things, he was also more liberal and humane.
