Matter-Eater Lad Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even voted :dozey: 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.

ricardo Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickahidalgo Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 oh yes with x excusez moi------------ I think Montezuma was an awful general, although during his government the aztecs reached their highest expansion But see, Montezuma was killed by Cortes. Which shows that he was also an awful leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 no, Cortez did not kill him, it was his people because he betrayed them and due to his obvious weakness as a leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
