i. George Washington - For his leadership and military strategy against the empire. Then his willingness to stop running for office after two terms, when he had no reason to.

ii. Emperor Dom Pedro II - For his pure dedication to the betterment of his country, launching the Empire of Brazil to become recognized on an international scale. His coup is what lead Brazil into the current state that it is today. Pedro II was the last great leader Brazil ever had.

iii. Leonardo Da Vinci - For his technological and biological advancements and be extremely ahead of his time. His works resonates in many science books to this day.

iv. Philip II of Macedon - The true tactician behind his son, Alexander. The strategies that Alex used in his battles were heavily influenced by his father (not discrediting Alex for how he conquered the world. That takes skill as well). He is also was on of the most bad ass guys you'd ever meet. Even took a spear to the eye, removed it, and continued on his merry way. He did by assassination.

v. Nikola Tesla - For finding an alternative to electricity that can be shared with everyone and could have benefited the world and advanced it by many decades.

Y'all niggas need Subothai. Greatest strategist of all time, with a NEET physique.
I will put forward Jan Zizka, the Czech tactician who developed a sort of medieval "tank" -- a short line of armored wagons that could, with intense training, form a wagon circle, or break, move and reform, thus frustrating heavy cavalry with a portable fortress.
And Cortes, and Ivan Grozny.

Myself I would say
>Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus
A perfect example of how a man of power should behave in a Republic. He does his duty not due to lust for wealth or power but because it is his duty.
>Flavius Belisarius
Similar to the above although not with a Republic, he had his Emperor constantly trying to fuck him over due to paranoia and yet even when the Ostrogoths offered to make him king of Italy he turned it down.
>Charles Mangin
French General during the First World War known as "the Butcher" who would lead attacks from the front and tried to create a Ruhr protectorate to keep Germany from accessing the Rhineland following the war, had a very apt quote about the war and war in general "Whatever you do, you lose a lot of men." Not really a military genius like some officers but he was truly willing to risk his life.
>William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke
Constantly supported the rightful monarch during a time when England was facing constant revolts from the increasingly powerful aristocracy.

Can't actually think of a fifth right now but I think you understand the overall theme. I prefer people who have a job, they know what it is, and they do it, they aren't corrupted by greed or power. I've always hated historical characters like Caesar, Sulla, Napoleon, and Tokugawa Ieyasu because they had potential but instead of simply doing their duty they betrayed their nation, people, or ruler for personal gain.

Great choice. And it was a very good tactician. He invented the "barrage of artillery" (I'm not sure of the term) it favored the attack on défence with strong prépraration artillery. He was saving and the lives of his men. It was he who also created the "dark force" the Senegalese riflemen, who commanded by French officers were very good fighters. He was the rival of Petain. Pétain succeeded him withdrew his command. The Germans were inspired by his theories about the attack and the artillery barrage in 1940 (and also those of Charles De Gaulle).

That's not even close. Philip was a significantly better politician who not only conquered the Greeks, but more importantly, got them to accept Macedonians when Greeks from a different town 20 miles away considered each other enemies and different. Philip also created the army Alexander used and subdued Illyria and Thrace, something the Greeks couldn't do.

If the Greeks created, built up Rome, created the maniple military tactics, issued the Marian reforms, conquered all of Italia and surrounding areas, THEN handed it all to the Romans, you'd be correct.

Alexander was a better field commander and strategist, but not a better statesman or leader, especially all the times his army rebelled against him.

>Turning one of the most laughable, broken nations
Weimar Germany was still one of the largest economies in Europe before Hitler took power. Helped that Britain actively sabotaged French and Belgian attempts to enforce the Versailles payments.

>into a fearful force of power within a generation
The German military when WW2 broke out wasn't even that good. The only reason they had initial victories was because the French high command lacked any initiative. France launched an offensive in 1939 and had they pushed odds are Germany would have collapsed. Instead the French command thought "oh no the Great War 2 Electric Boogaloo we better stop and regroup" and ended up withdrawing from Germany. In spring 1940 France and Britain greatly outnumbered Germany including in numbers of tanks (which were arguably better since the infantry tanks were practically immune to German tanks) the Manstein Plan was pretty much "YOLO bumrush the forest" and Hitler agreed to it because it really was the only chance Germany had to succeed, they lacked the numbers for a war of attrition, the Maginot line was too tough to bother with, and Northern Belgium was too well defended, they could only get local superiority in the Ardennes. Even after their breakthrough Germany nearly got fucked several times by British and French counter-attacks and was only saved by senior leadership in those armies ordering that the attacks be halted.

Germany didn't become a true military power until they had all of continental Europe conquered or allied to them (Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy) and had access to Polish and French resources and industry.

Besides that the French First Republic turned right around after a revolution and defeated an alliance of Austria, Prussia, Britain, Spain, and the Nethterlands and won. They then did it again two years later.
