Re: Greatest Conqueror Ever
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
He turned the nation from being economically depressed into a powerhouse. He formed the Manhatten Project to develop the Atomic Bomb, proposed by Einstein to FDR. By his death, American troops were already marching toward Berlin and Japan was being ruthlessly bombed and was almost nothing but a heap of rubble (save Hiroshima and Nagasaki). He's not the Greatest conquerer that ever lived, but he is definitely one of the greatest.

And must it have come only after the end of everything?" - Carl Gustav Horn
