    Mussolini wasn't so bad, at the beginning.

    You are too funny. I honestly thought the same thing when I first read Zito's thread.

    Brilliant!

    The obvious answer is Kim Jung Il anyone arguing otherwise is a moron.

    Ho Chi Minh is actually one guy that, if you mention his name around any middle-aged to elderly Vietnamese person in America you may get assaulted for speaking his name.

    They really really really really really hate him. You mention "Ho Chi Minh City" and you may as well write your death sentence... they only acknowledge it still as Saigon.

    I'd say the consensus amongst most meth dealers is it's probably going to be Heisenberg.

    Kim Jung Il barely deserves true dictator respect. Like his son Kim Jung-un, he inherited his title, along with a beaten-down, brainwashed country. He was given an unquestioning military on a platter, ready to carry out every sadistic idea that came into his head.

    Stalin gets my vote. He rose to power on his own guts and guile and he defeated Hitler, another self-made despot.

    Hitler all the way. Unlike Stalin, hitler didn't initially have a massive army at his disposal. Hitler built his army up.
    Every kid plays army and dreams about conquering the world and Hitlers the only one who basically had the balls to try it and pull it off.



    Stalin was more evil and treated his people worse than Hitler did, but Stalin only took over defenseless, defeated countries after ww2. Hitler initially did all the work. Stalin just moved in and set up shop after the Nazis were gone

    Napoléon Bonaparte? Alexander III of Macedon? Chandragupta Maurya? Any of several Achaemenids? Or, hell: Imperator Gaius Julius Divi Filius Caesar Octavianus Augustus?

    The Britains had the largest land Empire in history.

    Cyrus I think is thte most impressive though, the empire he started oversaw like 44% of the world's population or something.

    Genghis Khan, baby.

    Attila was an ambitious fellow, too.

    Yep: in my rush to include dark-horse Chandragupta Maurya, I neglected to even mention the several worthy Khans — with Temujin probably having the most ambition, though not the most territory. (He's also the only one of these fellows ever portrayed by John Wayne.)

    Pretty sure the USSR owned more of the world than Hitler ever did. Not to mention the Soviet propped states.
