Also Rome vs Carthage

Carthage all the way! Hannibal the great was the greatest General in history.

 

The the reason he didn't destroy Rome was Rome had more people, so they could keep raising huge armies after Hannibal defeated them. Hannibal however could not call upon large numbers of troops. And due to stupidity of the Carthaginian government, they alienated the local mercenaries at the battle of Zama, and Scipio Africanus was a good General but got lucky. One major defeat destroyed Carthage while one major defeat for Rome meant they could rally up another army, Carthage could not.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam!

What about Napoleon?

Or Alexander the great

Or the african one (don't know the name in english for this great roman general and don't feel like researching)

Or Don quijote?

DON QUIXOTE!!!

oh yes with x excusez moi------------

I think Montezuma was an awful general, although during his government the aztecs reached their highest expansion

Hannibal the Great was the best. No one has ever been as brilliant.

Is nt it sarcastic that no one has commentd on the poll?

Hannibal was cool, but was defeated so....

Read my first post, I edited it to explain why he was defeated. If he had better resources he would have defeated Rome.

I know, in all seriousness Hannibal had a smaller army, no support from Carthage and obviously Romans had more, uhm, well had more infraestructure for weapons etc

I think no one could have gotten so far as Hannibal did in his position, no one.

I'd say Peter the Great, or Zhukov, or Suvorov, but it they were great due to the clumsiness of their rivals

Peter the Great was a complete dickhead but a great military leader nonetheless.

Yeah but the swedes went to fight somewhere else instead of invading Russia, that gave him (Peter) time to reorganize and defeat them

There surely is only one explanation,they suck.

But see, Montezuma was killed by Cortes. Which shows that he was also an awful leader.

no, Cortez did not kill him, it was his people because he betrayed them and due to his obvious weakness as a leader

And the assload of diseases the Spanish brought with them.

that was another one (aztec ruler I mean)

And the assload of diseases the Spanish brought with them.

 

Hey, careful with my mom's people.

Hey, careful with my mom's people.

 

You're half spanish? Whoa sweet. I didn't mean to bash the Spanish there anyway; all the Europeans brought diseases. The Aztecs just got particularly owned by it.
