Whats going to be the basis of ur rating?
Washington set the precident of what a President should be. If he had abused his powers, the USA wouldn't exist now.
Lincoln used martial law to put down draft riots in the big cities and was quite pragmatic about whether to free the slave or not. The history books made him out to be better than he was.
What the last guy said, but to this [Elizabeth] instead.
Elizabeth *****
I can't give anything less than 5 stars for the virgin queen. She may have been deofrmed in civ 4 but she raised the largest empire at the time from nothing.
Napoleon ****
Napoleon is great but he deosn't represent the french empire. He destroyed the french empire and created his own which was culturally Italian as well as French. Then again he is the biggest excuse for hitler in the game as hitler did exactly the same thing (but did it better.)
Frederick the Great **
Just your average monarch who drained his countries wealth to capture a miniscule amount of territory. I do like some of his internal leadership but these were basic rights.
England under Elizabeth didn't really have an empire at all. Spain had the largest empire. Follow that with the Portuguese, who shared the same monarch as Spain at the time (Philip II). Then there was the Ottomans...
Well no, it wasnt an Empire, but she sure did save England. England was rocky, and was on the verge of collapse. Then she stabalized the country. She established trade with Spains enemies, opened diplomatic relations with many countries and helped England stay afloat. For it was in so much turmoil, with the reformation, the succession crisis, and how Spain and the Hapsburgs were against the Prodestant England. She gave her people confidence and she dared to defy what other countries did. She didnt have an Empie, but she made the country stable enough that it could become an Empire. So she deseves 5 stars.
I only agree in so far as she gave the people confidence. Elizabeth was a success story in so far as she probably made the best use of propaganda ever seen at that point in history. British people back then, and even many today, are convinced she was a great Queen, despite most of the credit she got was for achievements of much greater people within the country (the repulsion of the Armada being a textbook example). The real heroes of the time were the propaganda men.Well no, it wasnt an Empire, but she sure did save England. England was rocky, and was on the verge of collapse. Then she stabalized the country.

Ramesses II - Guy was a huge jerk! Kept loads of slaves, wound up dead when the salty waters of the Red Sea closed in on top of him. Overall rating :
Gandhi - "The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. That State is the best governed which is governed the least." We'll see how that works out for you buddy. Rating:
Hiawatha - "Depending on the version of the narrative, Hiawatha lived in the 12th, 15th or 16th century and was a leader of the Onondaga or the Mohawk."
NOT EVEN A REAL PERSON! Rating:
