I tend to lean toward Hitler in this instance.

The way he took broke little Germany and turned it into a power biding for control of the world was nothing short of absolutely amazing.

That's not to say Hitler was cool or anything -- he was obviously a bad person, but huge level of conquest he pulled off starting from something so worthless was awsome.

In a... Strategically-take-over-the-world kinda way.

I'd also like to shout out to my homies Kahn and Caesar. They did some pretty amazing stuff too. Hitler still takes the cake in my eyes, though.

Conquest rules.

(And even today we still see endless thwarts of conquest, it's just been translated into business. Look at Microsoft, for example.)
