Fidel Castro hardly counts as a great conqueror. He only ever conquered Cuba.

bismark was great guy but i would say he was still small time content with one location and too low of influence to the world and didn't cause as much world change as the others

Charlemagne only did influene europe but europe has been the influence of most of what modern world is about so i would say he is pretty influencial

i can't add him to the poll as they cannot be rewitten

yeah got what ur saying

but their own people are in so much priblems and their influence on the world is pretty low

Are we talking about the greatest ruler of all time here or them most influential? They aren't necessarily going to be the same person.

greatest rulers would have the greatest influence and cause world change

when you are a ruler,you create a civilization and a soceity and the world continues that

most of the world just doesn't speak english automatically

I'd describe a great ruler as somebody who brought along peace, prosperity and culture. So Augustus Caesar over Julius Caesar.

peace,prosperity and culture has to be maintained and outsiders have to be fought to continue and extend it

for example bismark was a great guy but his empire one day fell,and its legacy was threatned

adolf hitler tried to continue it,influenced and changed the wold forever.although germany fell even with adolf the influence within his own people and the world and culture and prosperity that is there.

Bismarck was a very canny leader, make no mistake, he played European power politics brilliantly, but yes, the empire he solidified (under the authority of the Kaiser, of course) was of lesser influence in the immediate time than some of the greats listed

It all depends on your criteria.

It should be military dictators. But out of your list Genghis Khan was by far the most superior

Why the hell did you left Suleman the Magnificent? He ruled almost all of muslim world that is today, and almost expanded Ottoman empire all the way to Italy.
