Greatest Ruler Ever.

[puglover]

By BEST do you mean by conquering the Earth? Or being a good ruler? Being a good ruler it has to be Abe

 

[Yoda Power]

I do not mean the greatest conquer, i mean who were the most good things.

Yep, that precisely why he was exiled.


Anyways , I'm inclined to vote of Octavian Augustus.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

in my opinion Ramses the great - builder, conquerer and God

This is hard. I will do one from each section of the world.

Americas: Franklin D. Roosevelt
Western Europe: Augustus Caesar
Eastern Europe: Peter the Great
Africa: Ramses I
Middle East: Hammaburai
Asia/Oceana: Mao Tse-tung

I have decided on the greatest leader of all time and it is Hammaburai.

Darn, not one of the Persian rulers yet??

Oh well my vote goes to Cyrus the Great, for taking a messed up little place and making Persia

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

George Washington brought America into existence. Has to be him, although he was not the greatest American leader (Abe Lincoln).

I second this vote. He also was part of the only example of historial culture flip that i cant think of off the top of my head.

Persians, shmershians. The question is the GREATEST LEADER IN HISTORY. If your taste tends to the ancient, then Rameses I or Akhenaten has all Persians trumped.

Agreed.

 

[Dr. Dr. Doktor]

The greatest ruler have been the downtrodden masses.

 

[Kafka2]

The greatest English king was Athelstan- combining patronage of the arts, European statesmanship and enlightened lawmaking with devastating military success.

 

[lord_byron_nz]

If I had to choose one person, I'd say Octavian Augustus but a case could be made for any number of leaders.

P.S. Newbie here

 

[Plexus]

Reagan or Lincoln in American history.

 

[Mongoloid Cow]

Genghis Khan. It would have to take a good ruler to say "I am the scourge of God. Heaven had delivered you into my hands that I may punish you for your sins, for you have sinned greatly." and then massacre the entire city.

 

[8_2much]

I'd say: Winston Churchill.

 

[Kafka2]

Though his killing of Kurds probably wasn't the most socially-acceptable thing he ever did.

I hope you're joking on all of those.
