1. Alexander The Great
2. Julius Ceasar
3. Suleiman the Magnificent

Alexander The Great. He conquered pretty much the entire known world.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

I dismiss the notion that he was a man who rode his father's coat-tails. Phillip died in 336BC. That's before Alexander even set out of Greece into his great victories in Asia-minor (Gaugamela), all the way into India at the Indus River. He deserves his place due to his own accord, not because of his previous royal stature.

Khan with Alexander as a close second
Hitler was a moron...fighting Russia and the US at the same time was a serious blunder.

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Hitler was no great conqueror, just a shmuck! For crying out loud he liked it whenever woman would piss and shit on him. How nasty is that?!?!
