Greatest Conquerer in History

Just decided to make this for no real reason.

I'll have to go with Genghis Khan, came from left for dead to conquerer of most of Asia and parts of Europe and Africa.

Julius Ceasar and Napolean Bonaparte are up there though.

Alexander the Great is pretty high up there, so is Genghis Khan.
Can't forget Hannibal, though he was more of a general than a conqueror, but he did conqueror Spain and a few other places (and would've conquerer Rome had Carthage sent him some more troops after he destroyed most of the Roman army in the battle of Cannae).

Hannibal's problem wasn't a lack of skill

it was a misunderstanding of how the Roman system worked. He was trying to break apart a confederation that did not exist.

Whoever the hell conquered the territory that is now Russia.

It may not be the largest conquest, but it did make the largest country even today.

Genghis Khan staged the first and only succesful winter attack in Russia. He would have conquered it easily, but he instead focused on the Muslim Empire.

Napoleon fought and won more battles than Alexander, Hannible, Caeser, Peter, and Fredric combined.

He wins.

And he beat us... sixty... eighty...?

Let's not go there

One of Genghis Khan's Generals, Tsubodai, routed a 12,000 man army with 750 men.

More with just Genghis, i don't believe Genghis has ever been in control and lost a battle.

I'm pretty sure that Genghis Khan had more territory, same with Alexander the Great, among others.

not really, I usually see him as more of political leader than a military leader, but its not secret hes a brilliant strategic mind.For me I would have to with...*thinks of a great military person that not obvious*... give me minute... *thinks harder* Sun tzu count? he made a frickin book about war -.-

Sun Tzu wasn't really a conquerer, just a military strategist.

Meh...
