Default 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.

Well, considering he never claimed foreign land under the control of his nation, I'd say that FDR was not a conquerer. Intelligent man though.

I know, I know. He's just a guy I admire. He could've conquered as easily if he really wanted to though.
