Last but not least he was shot in the leg, sentenced to death, escaped twice from prison, led a successful one-day revolution, and became the leader of his country mostly while still in college. He is none other than Saddam Hussein, President of the Republic of Iraq, the one who killed his own people and started a war with the United States.

It was of their special usage of military strategies and weapon that allow the Mongolians to conquer over 4 million square miles of land more than that of Alexander the Great, Tamerlane, or Cyrus the Great (Doc.1). The way the Mongols slay almost all inhabitants in an area doesn’t mean that they are entirely barbaric, what it really shows is how advance the Mongolians are in their military knowledge, knowing by killing most inhabitants they can prevent future rebellions and drive fear in the remaining inhabitants to further reduce the chances of a rebellions (Doc.4). Seen by John of Plano Caripini was how the Mongolians organize and set rules for their armies. The Mongolians organize the army in a way that there are different levels of captain ruling over a certain number of people, doing this makes the army easier to control and organize. In battles those who ran away, don’t follow and fight, or

Though the empire was divided between Chinggis Khan's sons after his death in 1227, the four khanates or kingdoms -which emerged in the struggles for succession -dominated most of Asia for the next one and one-half centuries. The Mongol conquests and the empires they produced represented the most formidable nomadic challenge to the growing global dominance of the sedentary peoples of the civilized cores since the great nomadic migrations in the first centuries A.D. Except for Timur's devastating but short-lived grab for power at the end of the 14th century, nomadic peoples would never again mount a challenge as massive and sweeping as that of the Mongols. In most histories, the Mongol conquests have been depicted as a savage assault by backward and barbaric peoples on many of the most ancient and developed centers of human civilization. Much is made of the ferocity of Mongol warriors in battle, their destruction of great cities, such as Baghdad, in
Hannibal tricked the Roman army and surrounded them, in the end killing 50,000 enemy soldiers. This was the greatest loss Rome had ever suffered. As a result of victories like this, Hannibal was described as ‘a military genius’. He used strategies and tactics that most ancient civilizations had never heard of, and even though he had a small army, he was able to defeat opponents almost three times his size. Historians described him as ‘a jet plane, a nuclear bomb, and a radical new technology’.
This Blitzkrieg caught Stalin by surprise because he was still recovering from the purges that had wiped out a great amount of his top officers. This unfortunate happening for Stalin was an advantage for Hitler. He and his army managed to wipe out two and a half million Russians.

They also had an advantage because Hitler broke the Nazi-Soviet pact with Stalin which took Stalin by surprise.
Little is known about Black Hawks childhood except that he was born a great grandfather of a principal chief of the Sauk (nanamaka aka “Thunder”). Black Hawk showed great promise as a teenager, and as a military leader which would eventually lead to him being considered the only great Indian leader to come out of Illinois. Black Hawk went with his father on a war party against the Osages tribe with the Muscow nation (Could be the more readily known Mascouten nation) because both the Sauk and the Muscow hated the Osages for stealing their hunting lands and crop fields. During the battle between the two parties Black Hawk killed a man, which by the age of 15 had him gain merit and become a young brave (a Native American Warrior) which was a great honor and is stated in his
Some people think that Adolf Hitler was the most dreadful person in history, but Joseph Stalin even topped him killing tens of millions of people. Now Stalin was the biggest tyrant when he ruled Russia. Joseph Stalin was a man who could be perfectly considered as a Visigoth. His real name was Losif Vissarionovich Djugashvili, which he later changed to Stalin meaning “a man of steel†creating a manly or strong image for himself. I don’t know the real reason behind this, but this does relate to the “My Graduation Speechâ€.
Genghis Khan's Mongol Hordes: Laying Foundations for the Modern Era. Genghis Khan is an immortal figure in the history of the world; he is remembered as a scourge hero, military genius, and demigod. His name conjures images of a brutal oppressor and murderer of millions among Westerners, Russians, and Muslims, yet to the Chinese and in his homeland of Mongolia he is revered as a demigod and founder of a dynasty and a nation. His life from birth to death seems to have been shrouded in mystery. The man known as Genghis Khan is perhaps one of the most discussed and yet misunderstood figures of all time.
People also viewed The Mongols as having a more destructive force. As shown in 3, Robert Tignor, said “merely 10,000 horsemen face his army of 200,000 soldiers, who were wager to acquire the treasures of his wealthy trade center. Even before the battle has taken place, the people of Baghdad knew the fait thet awaited them.” which says that the people knew that the mongols were more powerful than them and this mattered because it shows they they're very destructive and intimidating.
