  • And the hero Blas de Lezo site Cartagena de Indias in 1741? Nor is unfair because such strikes most of naval defeat in English history. 186 ships with 30,000 British against 4000 Spanish and 6 ships. Results .... 10,000 British dead and 7000 injured. And the 1200 Spanish dead and 800 injured. (NEVER SO FEW WERE SO)

  • And where is Don Gonzalo Fernadez de Cordoba ("" El Gran Capitan ""). One of the best military in history to crush the French in Italy in 1505 and revolutionized the art of war with the first combination of artillery infantry, cavalry of creating the famous modern form THIRDS SPANISH which were undefeated and terror in Europe for over 100 years.

  • Gustavus Adolphus?

    In Sweden we call him Gustav II Adolf.

  • where are Napoleon, Cesar, Hannibal?

  • buddy, u missed faith sultan mehmet BTW conqueror of Constantinople come on dude he done what no general ever done, he past over 20 ships whilst on land with his brave heroic ottoman soldiers,now that's what you call a general :D

  • Your lists are the greatest millitary commanders of all time right?... then why are half of your choices American?, America has a mere 200 years of history. Patton and McArthur yes. But don't flood your lists with Americans. Where are the British, French, Spanish, Japanese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman comanders?. All these countries and more have histories spanning millenia. And their barley represented, if at all?...

  • @MrDeano324 Please watch my Revised list. /watch?v=J3W03f36t3Y

    It is more accurate, and I find it to be the best video regarding this subject I made.

  • @MrDeano324 and ottomans don't forget :)

  • @MrDeano324 how about the germans, with the best commanders of recent history, and the russians?

  • You think Scipio better than Caesar and Themistocles better than Alexander or Pericles??? Go back to school

  • hehehe, 5 americans and 4 englishmans...it's joke.....

  • Where is Napoleon ?

  • anyway patton was crap , mongomery got the british back in action he defeated rommel though odds were high but still.. he stopped the german advance

  • Perhaps an Englishman shouldnt defend Rommel but I will ....Rommel was still bringing home victories when the rest brought only defeats. In Africa he never had odds of less than seven to one and to boot he is not tainted by attrocities commited under his command

  • @chitlika huh the whole eastern front was hitlers fault he kept argueing with everyone and everyone had to listen btw in my personal opinion manstein was the great dont forget operation mars zukhov's greatest defeat!

  • omg gustavus adolphus led the protestants to win against the catholic religion. I agree to you dude but you forgot george washington you must read the books about him he defeat the british invaders by using strategies hes good please put him :)

  • omg gustavus adolphus led the protestants to win against the catholic religion. I agree to you dude

  • I hope This isnt in order because Rommel wasnt in th top 10.

  • @CptainGarmaZabi he should not be in the top 500, overran his own supply lines then bitches to Hitler, and then tried to kill him, (i think in part due to the supply situation which i think he blamed on Hitler) the man is the most overrated commander in history...In my humble opinion

  • @kevinjjfr

    I pretty much agree with all except Rommel being most overrated.

    As much as I like Rommel ill agree that he certianly wasen't the best in WW2, maybe not even the best for the Germans. Indeed he is overrated.

    Although I dont think he is the most overrated, that title goes to Alexander. I dont even put him on my top 10 in my video.

  • @UncannyRicardo Alexander i see, never lost, took over most of the known world, etc,

    Rommel may not be the most overrated in history, but he is up there, for sure.

    i would replace Rommel with Alexander Patch on the list of good WWII generals, better then Patton a lot of times.

  • @kevinjjfr

    Alexander had a good run for his short life, but still people overrate his actual skills and compare him to some really genius commanders like Napoleon. Which I honestly dont think he belongs there.

    Rommel I guess is just more popular due to his moral nature and thus kinda gets recognition as a "badass". But true that he aint the best.

  • @UncannyRicardo as far as skills to luck, i'll take the lucky man over the skilled man anyway,

    "yes, but is he lucky" attributed to Napoleon, Alexander was both, maybe not as much skill as Napoleon, but much more luck.

  • @kevinjjfr

    Im not sure about luck, but I find Napoleon to be leagues ahead of Alexander threw pure tactical and strategic experience and genius.

  • @UncannyRicardo true, but Napoleon had his Waterloo, Alexander had death

  • @kevinjjfr

    Waterloo was not luck though. It was another displaying of Napoleon's genius, aswell as his "sometimes" inability to come to stalemate.

    We can't win them all.

  • @UncannyRicardo Alexander did ^.^ call it luck, but hes still undefeated 

  • propet muhammad should be number one .. more than 1.7 billion believes his religon

    and where is khalid bin walid ??? this man never lose a battle

    saladin?

    omer bin al khattab

  • 0:25 Free mason stand

  • and Blas de Lezo??

  • @UncannyRicardo I love having this debate with you just to let know. anyway when richard saw jerusalem he knew that he will not be able to take it and if they did, saladin would just take it back. so he made a truce with saladin. They respected each other as equals. Remember richard tried to invade egypt but failed. Richard didn't accomplish his 3rd crusade goal, to conquer jerusalem, but saladin did accomplish his goal, to prevent the crusaders from conquering jerusalem. PEACE

  • @azizfawziah saladin whooped richards ass, i dont know the minor battles they had but he certainly inflicited one of the crusaders worst defeats ever

  • @TheTruth8018

    How the heck did Saladin whoop Richard? Richard beat him at every engagement basically.

  • @UncannyRicardo

    Richard beat Saladin in major battles but Saladin made sure that Richard did not conquer jerusalem, which was the his only reason to embarked on the crusade. Therefore he should be considered richard's equal.

  • @azizfawziah

    I can hardly see that, the reasons for the withrdrawl of most of Richard's forces weren't caused by Saladin.

    And Richard's superior abilities at both land or siege battles put him above Saladin.

  • @UncannyRicardo yet richard was unable to conquer jerusalem. he said that it would be nearly impossible to tale it and if they did, saladin would just take it back,so they only thing they will accomplish is just ending lives. richard respected saladin, and one the respect of many muslims as a great military leader, while saladin, rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry. nad won the respect of richard. saladin=richard

  • @azizfawziah

    Yes Richard was unable to take it after most of the crusader nations withdrew their troops and support, leaving Richard by himself. If anything his ability to make a treaty is another showing of his smart thinking.

    Regardless of this, Richard defeated Saladin decisively in battles. Saladin defeated what, philip and Fred? Not nearly as impressive. Thus Richard has to be considered superior to Saladin.

  • I watchd both ur videos. interesting. a lot of nazis in ur list, rightly recognized. i would have to say u missed out Subudai,Genghis Khans main general. i know u said Genghis Khan in the other list as number 1 but Subudai lead his armies. Historians say that Subudai as a commander was responsible for the most human deaths ever. u gotta recognize this person that killed so many of mankind. U also left out Timur the Lame,that peg-leg was a great general.He didnt even pay his men! they took booty

  • Wheres Carl Gustaf Mannerheeeeeeeeim!?

  • Karl Martell wasn´t a General

  • fatih sultan mehmet

    gazi osman pasa

    atatürk

    ...

  • do you any eastern generals?

    non european and american ones?

  • WOW Patton before Manstein

  • idi amin another great comander of the 20th centuary

  • where is cyrus?

  • Where is Ferdinand Foch ???

  • And Alexander Magnus?

  • If you could read Portuguese, you'd love to read "Homens, Espadas e Tomates" by Rainer Daehnhardt - into English, it basically means, "Men, Swords and Balls". It contains a lot of explanations about Portuguese battles from the XIV to the XX century. And there are several other examples. D. Afonso Henriques; D. Nuno Álvares Pereira; Afonso de Albuquerque, Vice-Roy of India and General Spínola are some of the greatest military commanders. Along with our father the Lusitanian Viriathus.

  • Why don't you include Portuguese military commanders? Our armies defeated larger and stronger forces in several battles (Aljubarrota against Castille; and our battles Indian kingdoms in order to maintain the Portuguese Asian Empire). I'll give you some examples: 5 Portuguese conquered a Turkish boat that had 150 Turkish in it; 2 Portuguese defended a ruined fort against 700 Turkish; 120 Portuguese conquered a fort which was defended by an army of 50.000 warriors.

  • geez what a can of worms this subject is! Charlemagne? Horatio Nelson? Manco Capac? Cortez? Aetius? Stilicho? Shaka? Lee? Mao? Hindenburg? Trajan? For better or worse, there are a thousand names to add to these lists.

  • I should realize these kinds of videos are based off opinion. Like I would say Richard the Lionheart would beat the shit out of Alexander and Hannibal, but it wouldn't make it so. Who knows who is better than who? Like Lee & Jackson could take down Napoleon and Ney. and Sam Housten would murder Sherman. but oh well.

  • @Scroopulous. haha richard would take down Alexander AND Hannibal? hahahahahahahaha. i admit Richard the Lionheart was more a soldier than a King, n a good commander aswell but better that Alexander AND Hannibal? no way! n these us generals better than Napoleon Bonaparte? come on my man. what a joke. Richard was as good as Saladin.

    Alexander, Hannibal, Khalid bin walid and Caesar all are in the same league. The Best of the Best.

  • @syedBIDZali I meant they might have been able to beat him, and indeed if Wellington beat Napoleon, then I'm pretty Sure Lee and Jackson could take him down. They are the best military pair in the history of all mankind.

  • @Scroopulous. u highly respect lee n jackson eh. what was so good bwt them?

  • @syedBIDZali and Ceaser was a punk, Richard would murder him.

  • @syedBIDZali

    I disagree that Richard was as good as Saladin, I think Richard was leagues ahead of him. I mean as far as I know he beat Saladin in every engagement they had.

  • @UncannyRicardo Richard beat Saladin at major battles like acre, arsuf, and jaffa but saladin won at minor skirmishes, richard also coquer jerusalem from saladin which was the only reason he fought against saladin.

  • @azizfawziah

    So basically Richard > Saladin, I cant believe people doubt that.

  • Comment removed

  • The real ones are

    1-Flavius Heraclius Augustus

    2-Georgy Zhukov

    3-Napoleon

    4-Tomyris

    Alexander , Julius ceaser, Hannibal and Saladin don't even deserve to be in this list

  • it would be nice from u to addid prophet mohhamed ....

    and thank you for the nice videos ...

  • i would rank KAHLID BIN WALEED to be the best commander of all....as in the battle of yormuk against romans........as the romans were 100,000 and muslims were 40,000.......and at the end 70,000 romans got killed and only 450 muslims got killed.......KHALID BIN WALEED was the best strategic ,fearless commander ever......well no doubt all others may conqoured more lands then him but the way he planned the wars with so small proportion of artillary nd men was too much remarkable

  • For fucks sake Video Response to TOP 20 MILITARY COMMANDERS

    dont expect here the ancient generals! the title:20 MORE GREAT MILITARY COMMANDERS

  • there are some pretty good generals in here, but the focus is too much on the last few centuries especially ww2...how about, alexander the great, julius caesar, hannibal barca, napoleon bonaparte. Most of these were great generals as in this vid but also great leaders. i think that makes a commander great

  • Why MacArhtur and Patton in this "list"?

    Are you comparing Patton and Tamerlan? MacArhtur and Mohammed?

    Ha-ha-ha...

  • Lol does anyone read for goodness sake the man created 20 more military commanders. Top 20 military commanders has all the main leaders.

  • Gustav Adolf för bövelen!

  • 20 More Great Military Commanders!

    and Alexander, Caesar, Anibal, Gengis Khan, Napoleón, Turenne, The great captain, moltke,

  • fudge cake, I meant to type "their dick", as if you fucking care.

  • Please change the music dude. I know a lot of military leaders were gay, but that doesn't mean the music has to be even gayer. BTW that's a play on words because I couldn't care-less if someone wants to stick there dick in a toaster or another mans ass or in a woman's vagina.

  • of course hitler had to have rommel kill himself

  • What a gay music.

    Next time use some military marshes

  • Ah ok, i'm sorry

  • i could no agree more with Scipio but you still fail to see the most reconsied military leaders ever

  • I'm sorry, but i think everyone agrees that Napoleon should be in this list.

  • Napoleon is on the Top 20 Military Commanders, these are 20 more.

  • @eyederrick he is in his second video

  • i dont see here Alexander Makedonian Peter the great Napoleon Georgy Zjukov Alexander Nevsky Ramzes 2 Tiglatpalassar 3 General Robert Edward Lee Karl 12 Sweden where are that glorius people?

  • @m741ex some of those guys are in hisother list.but still no robert lee.

  • @m741ex Alexander, Napoleon and Georgy are in the first one

  • @m741ex  u all forget about Hannibal: The Annihilator he is on top 10

  • @HerroHerrar they're on his top 20 military commanders video

  • Food for thought:

    Subotai

    Bill Slim

    Edward I

    Oliver Cromwell

    Hindenburg

    Luddendorf

    Harold II ?

  • Alexander Suvorov, better, he's never lost a battle, read about the Swiss campaign, hungry, barefoot devotees of the Austrians, they broke all the excess of the number of French troops. Sorry for my english

  • L'hai fatta con i piedi...Ce la potevi risparmiare!

  • MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK AND NOONE ALSE

  • ROMMEL FTW!!!!

  • Karl Martel, Poitiers, what else?

    McArthur, kept a huge war maschine together, what else?

    Mannstein, Rommel, Guderian, Patton all a few years WW2, nothing else.

    Gustav Adolf 3 years action and peng.

    Mohammed as military, for what?

    Vercingetorix, short lost uprising

    Sherman outflanking and pillaging - not more.

    Friederich, lost as much as he won, prevailed just with luck.

  • @schattensand this is the best comment on YouTube, well said. :)

  • you know about Khalid bin Walid ?

  • Hey NFS love the vids. If you ever make another commander vid like this can you include william wallace and shaka zulu cause they were beast commanders =D

  • Thanks^^

    I might, I've been considering doing so

  • Why aren't Robert E. Lee and Joshua Chamberlain in here?

  • Erwin Rommel is definately the best!

  • And ... Jeanne of Ark... ?

  • WHAT? LOL

  • i can name some agamemom (not right spelling) the lionhart

  • I believe that agamemnon is fictional.

  • that is not true. agamemnon is not fictional

  • Current history says that he is a mythological character. The movie Troy is not proof that he was real.

  • He is probably based off some general who was very tallented and died before his name could be remembered so they gave him that name.

  • 1) khalid bin walid

    2) khalid bin walid

    3) khalid bin walid

    4) khalid bin walid

    5) khalid bin walid

    6) khalid bin walid

    7) khalid bin walid

    8) khalid bin walid

    9)khalid bin walid

    10) others...

  • i was gona say that brother

    khalid bin walid is better than all

  • very true, ı am turk and ı can write hundreds of great turk commander including cengiz kahan, atilla, Fatih Sultan Mehmet acc. they are all better than others but khalid is different.

    watch?v=XIyT32sLXfM

    westernians always disregard other nations. ottoman ruled the world 600 years but there is no ottoman padisah in their list. very interesting.

  • It is hard to find Turkish commanders from the Ottoman Empire since they are not of common knowledge. And on my lists I included people from different cultures. Scipio Africanus, for example.

  • ı understand you it is normal, europans lived 600 years with ottoman nightmare. so they hate ottoman and dont want to see ottoman empire'S goodsides.

    ı have no doubt about your honesty.

  • I know, they did the same with anything that wasn't good for them.

    And thats good.

  • marllbourall is john churchill

  • you should make a top 20 worst commanders in history and put Crassus at #1

  • Napoleon said when he visited Frederick the Great's grave after taking over the holy roman empire, "If this man was still alive I would not be here."

  • I Think the video miss "Charlemagne, William Wallace, Hernan Cortez, Tokugawa Ie-Yasu,Cao-cao, Zhuge Liang, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang , David and Moses/Joshua"

  • sorry but you dont know anything this is all not right

  • How are these wrong?

  • i mean you should search will before you put this video i wish to tell you more but my E is not good

  • I looked up all of these Military Commanders, and they all were quite good.

  • some of them were fantastic and lots were better and deserved a place on your top 20

  • what about pershing?

  • what about julius caesar and rommel comon he was completely wasted in africa

  • I believe Julius is in the top 20 military commanders.

  • what about NAPOLEON?

  • See top 20 Military Commanders

  • Yes Douglas MacArthur is up there he was a great leader for us during ww2 and the Vietnam war. It was too bad though that he got removed from command for getting China involed in the vietnam war.

  • You mean The Korean war? MacArthur died just before Vietnam, and he was no great leader.

  • i think the last 10 in the list were WAY better than the top 10

  • isnt the best hannibal??

  • You included a non child molester even by them times what he did was wrong, and in his NAME today 1000s are murder everyday. He was nothing and even I could have taken mohammed on in a 1v1 he was nothing of a man just used fear tactics to get his army. YES many have also but it is writen of his use of girls as sexual objects in the Quran. I have never heard of anyone pointing him out as anything like a great Military commander, but it is your opinion and atm you are still free to state it,

  • I had lots of people tell me to include him, and his wikipedia page was insanly long so I just put him there, sorry if I offended

  • I am not offended but there are many greats in that little video and that one single fool does no honor to most of them others, Mohammand actually would have you put to death because you included anyone else but HIM and HIM only.

  • Yeah, and no doubt he would.

  • I have talked to several people about this and NON can recall anything mohammand did that was new and special on the field of battle. he just mass murder people, all them greats came up with something new to do and it is still practice today in war schools all over the world, but there is nothing known as a mohammod manuver or tactic anything, that wicapedi is writen by anyone and much is very wrong info there. Sorry again he should not be list with any of them greats

  • Hmm I'll have to inquire into where the people I talked to heard this

  • Take Mohammed off and replace him with Arminius.

  • What the fuck are you on about?

    Mohammad's first battle was called the battle of badr, known in history as 'ghazva-e-badr' was fought against the Quraish of makah. wiki facts are wrong, 313 Muslims fought against around 10,000 Quraish and were able to annihilate them.

    And by the way, Another battle called Ghazva-e-khandaq, was the FIRST battle that introduced 'Trench warfare'. Don't discredit him as a military commander and strategist. Know your history please stop being a racist.

  • So you like him being up there?

  • Yeah man, Definitely! Good list.

  • Great, thanks for the proof on mohammad! Thanks for the props

  • Great Video!!! I'm glad Tamerlane and Sargon is on the list!!!

    i wonder wot subject will ur next video be on?

    perhaps most insane figure in history or top 10 military blunders or something....

  • Top Ten Men Who Were Gods Of War...and thanks! :D
