The most successful military leader in history?

[Gazi]

Not a good reason to reject him

He isnt rejected but he sure not in the league of most successful Military Leaders.

How do you rank any leader.I rank them how much they achieved not by area but by influence.How large their army was,How advance they were in their times.How clever they were in their wars like these things

For Ghengis Khan I ranked him on his military Campaign from China to Europe in a very Short Span of time with his largely Nomadic Force.

Caliph Umer Ibn-e-Khatab I ranked him due to his Campaigns and Victory against two of the Superpower of that period Byzantine and Persian Empires with only available resources of Nomadic Army in his side.

look all the leaders are from different times and different part.Their campaign were not easy for all of them Ashoka was very young when he stopped campaign not because he lost any war but after winning a war because he killed nearly 100k people just to win a city.I think his story was way long back in history so their are bit and pieces we don't know.I don't know about Umar but yeah Mongolian empire was very large empire.

Genghis Khan gets wrong credit. The main mastermind behind the Khan's campaigns was his general Subutai.

Subutai wasnt a Military Leader it was always considered Genghis Khan a leader of Mongols. Subutai was GENERAL of Genghis Khan.

 

[Indian Patriot]

Subutai wasnt a Military Leader it was always considered Genghis Khan a leader of Mongols. Subutai was GENERAL of Genghis Khan.

Subutai was the commander-in-chief who planned the Great Khan's campaigns in China, Persia and Russia. Subutai was never defeated. It was Subutai who created the Mongol empire from China to Hungary and Poland.

 

[Bilal.]

Khalid Bin Al Walid. Period. Absolutely smashed Persian and Byzantian empires, the two super powers of the time, like they were nothing. All when the numbers were against him.

[Butchcassidy]

Taimur should also be added to the list

 

[sans]

Shivagi,he is one of the great stratageist

 

[asad71]

It would be almost impolite to specify the MOST successful mily commander in history. There have been many - in various nations and at various periods of history. And sitting in judgement one really catapult oneself above the premises he belongs to. For instance, I do believe Sivaji was a robber/daku. However, the Marathas eulogize him so much that the Maratha soldier's war cry is: "Chhatrapati Sivaji Maharj Ki Jai".

Nakku, this is not marathi.

He may have lost two battles but in MOST battles,he was outnumbered and still he won those battles by brilliant tactics and ultimately achieved his goal by recapturing Palestine (Bait ul Muqaddas) after 90 years.

You gotta be sh*tting me.He was a great tactician by any standards........You should read some books on his military campaigns first and then post something

Do you know the difference between tactician and strategist?Its difference between winning battles and winning campaigns.
I mentioned 2.But when ur talking about 'greatest' thats more.He never defeated richard on the batlefield despite outnumbering him,he had to use scorched earth strategy to keep him at bay after his defeat at arsuf.He also lost badly at montgisard to the knights despite 3 to 1 advantage.
He was a good tactician at best,excellent pragmatic strategist and great leader.

Khalid ibn al walid and Taimu lane are the 2 best muslim military commanders in history.Both superior to saladin.
