My answer is Christ. This Judean carpenter who (probably) didn't know how to read or write altered the destiny of billions by telling simple fables even children could understand.
And he did it in ---3 years---. He accomplished more in 3 years than whole civilizations accomplish in 80 years. Or 1000.
There are lessons to be learned from him.
Hitler was the best as a leader, but had the worst policies. Most of those are from different cultures and time periods, so they can't really be compared to each other.
Hitler was hopeless as a leader. Disorganized, superstitious, short-sighted, temperamental, insecure. He had the means to succeed in WWII and failed laughably. He made one incorrect decision after another and only looks successful retrospectively because of luck and circumstance.
True story. 'Don't get where these people are getting that he was a ''great'' leader. Every general feared him because of his insanity, he killed and harassed every follower he had if there was the lightest hint of treason and he did a terrible job at fighting the war. And then there is the part were he was fucking nuts and a despicable human being.
I disagree. His speeches were amazing. He could rally a crowd like no other. During WWII he began to drift into insanity and he made some poor tactical decisions, but just because he was an imperfect military tactician does not stop him from being a great leader of men non-militarily.
Hitler or Caesar. Not that I admire either of them, but it's still a fact that they were great (=successful) leaders.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt hands down. He led this country out of the depression and through WWII. The last patrician public servant we've has.
all you people who said Hitler... I wonder how you'd like being burned alive or gassed or have inhumane experiments done on you.
Comrade Lenin. Why don't I see him on the list??!

Elizabeth I.
Define ''greatest.''
Greatest at what? Military pursuits? If so I'd take Alexander the Great, or Hitler.
Greatest spiritual/civil rights leader? Perhaps that would be Ghandi, or even MLK Jr.
With that being said, I chose Odysseus. That's a badass name.
Which Caesar are you talking about? Caesar is a title, not a person's name. Such as Nero Caesar, Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, Little Caesar...
Think of it like saying king: King Edward, King George, King Henry. But after the name instead of in front.
Hitler because he was powerful, a great leader. But he was definitely not right. If this poll was based on what they did with the power they had, rather than their influence on people, then i would have chosen someone else.
I like talented dictators, they always take countries in decline (mongolia, germany after WWI) and turn them into empires. It's amazing, rivers of blood, but still amazing.
of all time -Genghis Khan, but I voted for Hitler, because he managed to set a a broken, pride-less and starving country on a path of a world wide conquest in less than 10 years.
Martin Luther coon jr is that right i can't remember names as well did Hitler pump acid into peoples vains or not or was i told wrong and did he make them take acid showers
loobylou, your one of those cool aide drinkers aren't you. It's not the Chicago Thug I worry about. Pieces of sh-t like him are a dime a dozen. I worry about the f-g idiots like you that were fooled to vote for him. And if your not an American citizen then go back to Ireland so you can f-up that shit hole.
