This topic has been discussed to death on so many forums. I have been lurking around on different history forums..and they have been debating this issue for length!!! Probably a million posts already, in different forums....and then something interesting happened around 2009..few guys from different forums assigned certain standards on how to judge a general..assigned different criterias and assigned points to those criterias..and started to debate on single generals one by one..And different forums co-ordinated with eachother and published their list..and that list was debated, refined....Long story short...after in depth analysis, others opinion, and my personal readings.... This is what comes out from an objective historical perspective... Top five greatest generals of all time (Final list of the ultra-heavyweight category of supreme military commanders of history).. 1- Changez Khan. 2- Khalid Ibn Walid. 3- Alexander the Great. 4- Hannibal Barca 5- Julius Caesar. I would have put Hannibal Barca above Alexander, but Hannibal did not finish his war sadly..... Honorable mention : Subutei, Timur, Napolean, Duke of Marlborough, and many others.... Anyone here interested in military history? What do you think of this final list? Agree? Disagree? Discuss....
