Napoleon is also the man that conquered europe with a bankrupted , demoralized country totally weakened by the revolution on 1789 , Napoleon has also won more battles than Alexander, Hannibal and julius ceaser put together. Napoleon was the most powerful man on earth during 24 years, 12 years for Alexander , Napoleon had to fight against the most powerfull and most trained army of the time, Alexander agaiinst a bunch of peasants sent to death by their lord.

@theprodigy1600 im not sure what point you're trying to make...

[theprodigy1600]

@streetpartying LMFAO

not to sound all pedant and shit but im a classics major

and Guns/cannons vs Swords?

is as simple as this: Alexander would never do what Napoleon did. Fight two wars at once. Napoleon lost 2 major battles..Alexander none. Napoleon would dress in front of a painting of Alexander.

How can anyone judge a man who lived over 2300 years ago..? in a whole different age than ours

in a different one than the pussy frnech

NAPOLEON-500,000 MEN INTO RUSSIA...IN WINTER...SMART LOL

@kormista13 100.000 = hundred, ffs, r u trying to be funny

and by 'reformed' surely you know i mean the phalangites armed with sarissa, they provided a strong 'anvil' that could hold off double, even triple their number of opposing infantry

Persia actually relied on greek mercernaries to fight alexander, not wat id call 'great'

[kormista13]

@funnyguyagency Alexander's army crossed the Hellespont in 334 BC with approximately 48,100 soldiers, 6,100 cavalry and a fleet of 120 ships with crews numbering 38,000,[68] drawn from Macedon and various Greek city-states(wikipedia) they were less than 100.000,you said reformed army by his father,his father didn't have the support of the other greek cities..alexander did...and he destroyed the greatest empire of these times..Persia.if he was a fool.he could never reach india and defeat Poros!

[funnyguyagency]

@kormista13 He was undefeated cos he rushed hard and died young

I didnt say his army was soley macedonians ull find he conscripted a lot of mercs in his campaign

and he started with more than "100.000" soldiers, unless you meant "," instead of "."

he was a fool who didnt have half the brain to realise that his men didnt fancy fighting for their lives all the way from greece->india, nor did he know wat to do with the land he snatched away from a crumbling empire

at least he spread hellenism

[kormista13]

@funnyguyagency You don't know a little about the true story?his father's dream,was to conquer Persia,he was murdered so alexander completed it,he stopped his campaign because of his soldiers and his army wasn't just macedonians reformed by his father as you claim,they were from different territories of greece,except sparta! and i suppose that your source is the only one which tells the truth about how Alexander died,may & where? He was undefeated!!and he started with less than 100.000 soldiers

@StraightJohn19

well there are more than there: Khan, zizka, ibn al Walid, zhukov, Sururov etc. Khalid ibn al Walid is especially noteworthy having defeated both the Persian and Byzantine Empires with a much smaller and less will equipped force. Doubt Islam would be widespread without him.

guns are more difficult than swords my friend and bayonets too
