The Greatest Generals of World

What about Alexander the great?
Roman generals like Julius Ceaser?
What about the generals of WWII?
 
Understand American war historians consider Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and George Washington as the greatest with Napoleon as a close 4rth.

Genghis Khan was no doubt greatest conqueror ever, but that does not make him the greatest general.

Among the Muslims, Khalid bin Waleed (RA) along with Saad bin Abi Waqaas (RA) conqueror of Iran, stand out. However if one considers the quality of opposition and the odds faced by Alexander and Caesar in some of their campaigns, one would arguably put the Muslim generals below the two greats.

Mongol weapons & tactics are far superior than what the Macedonians have. Mongol cavalry with their mounted archers, and weapons such as crossbows, gun power "grenade bombs", cannons, rapid firing crossbows, giant crossbows etc at their disposal give them the edge in fire power that will defeat Alexander's forces. Alex's cavalry will get showered with crossbow arrows, their phalanx formations will get smash by grenade bombs, giant crossbows.

Pitting Alexander's forces against Ghenghis Khan is like watching the Zulu war between Great Brittain and the Zulu nation, the superior fire power of the Brittish will defeat the numerical superior forces of the Zulus. :woot::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Genghis Khan was superior then Alexander and Ceaser in tactics and strategy.

Genghis Khan and Napoleon were the best generals of their era.
 
Caliph Umar.

Under Umar the Islamic empire expanded at an unprecedented rate annexing the whole Sassanid Persian Empire and more than two thirds of the Eastern Roman Empire.His legislative abilities, his firm political and administrative control over a rapidly expanding empire and his brilliantly coordinated multi-prong attacks against Sassanid Persian Empire that resulted in conquest of Persian empire in less then two years, marked his reputation as a great political and military leader. It was Umar who for the first time in 500 years since expulsion of Jews from the Holy Land, allowed them to practice their religion freely and live in Jerusalem.

I always admired some of the Prophet's own battle moves. His plans in Badr, Uhud (didn't work because of you know what) and the Trench battles were brilliant.

For example making the Quraysh come to Badar was ingenuous. The Muslims arrived there first and then covered all the water sources. The Quraysh got no water and fought thirsty.

I suppose history doesn't officially recognizes Dhul Qurnain (apart from the theory that he and Alexander the great are the same people)...
 
Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed is the best general of all times. He never lost a battle fought under his command. All the rest of generals suffered defeat during their careers.

Arabs defeated Romans and Iranian with devine power.

What about General Ayub Khan who built our capital Islamabad from the ground up and successfully defended Pakistan when India invaded Lahore and Sialkot in 1965?

Did you read the Title...Greatest Generals not the dumbest ones...they teach you some history in Pakistan,he appointed himself field marshal, he led the first coup...carried out Gibraltar in his overconfidence and got soundly beaten back...how come you name him as a great when he lost his only battle??
