Can we attempt to make some sort of ranking of conquerors based on the area they subdued?
Genghis Khan would be the number 1 by a distance (see pic related), having annexed an area of 24 million square kilometers. But after that it gets fuzzy.
Nader Shah's empire was 5.3 million square kilometers big.
Alexander the Great's empire was 5.2 million square kilometers big.
Tamerlane's empire was 4.4 million square kilometers big.
I can't find sources for the size of Cyrus' empire, but one shitty websites said it was also about 5.2 million square kilometers big.
Any others? Mahmud of Ghazni conquered a couple of million square kilometers himself.
What about Napoleon? Hitler? Any other lads?
