In the long historical years, countless powerful empires and emperors went down in history. Such as Genghis Khan, Attila, Timur, Alexander the Great, Ashoka, Thutmose III, Charles the Great, Augustus Caesar, Qin Shihuang and cyrus the great.

1. Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, was a holy warrior. He was also recognized as Lord of War in the world. The Mongolian khanate established by Genghis Khan and his descendants spanned Europe and Asia, paving the way for his grandson Kublai Khan to become the emperor who unified China and the founder of the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, there were almost all kinds of religions in the world within the scope of their rule. His conquest was four times the size of Alexander the Great, ranking first, no doubt.

2. Attila

Attila, a man known as "the scourge of God", succeeded to his throne in 434 AD. His army invaded the Balkans twice and surrounded Constantinople. He also ruled the territory from Germany to the Caspian Sea for nearly 2 years. Although his empire was in its heyday, he was regarded as the embodiment of cruelty, killing and belligerence.

3. Timur

Timur was born in modern Uzbekistan. Although he is illiterate, he is very clever. He can speak at least three languages and invented a variant of chess. When he established his empire, he experienced more than 3 years of conquest. At that time, no powerful empire dared to confront it head-on. Finally, under his leadership, he established a great empire from Delhi to Damascus and from the Aral Sea to the Persian Gulf.

4. Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great, the first of the four greatest military commanders in European history, unified the whole of Greece and swept the Middle East. In 323 BC, he established the empire with the largest territory area in the world at that time, exceeding the total territory of the seven warring States countries in the East. His conquest made the ancient Greek civilization widely spread.

5. Ashoka

Ashoka, known as the "Worry-Free King", was the third-generation emperor of the Peacock Dynasty in ancient India. In his early years, he killed all his brothers militarily, and went on a savage rampage, eventually unifying the whole South Asian subcontinent and a part of Afghanistan today.

He began to believe in Buddhism in his later years and repented of his massacre. King Ashoka has built Buddhist buildings all over the country. It is said that he has built 84, Buddhist stupas dedicated to Buddhist bones, and ordered people to compile the Buddhist masterpiece On Things.

6. Thutmose III

Thutmose III, a Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty in ancient Egypt, launched a large-scale war of expansion abroad during his reign, and conquered the lands of Palestine, Syria, Nubia and Mesopotamia, thus making Egypt move towards an intercontinental empire. In addition, he was one of the first rulers to understand the supply lines and maritime forces, and was called "Napoleon of the ancient world" by later generations.

7. Charles the Great

Charles the Great ruled a European empire-Charlemagne Empire, which was mainly based in France, Germany and parts of Italy. During his life, he launched 53 battles and established a country beyond the sacred territory of the Roman Empire. He was also the greatest supporter and defender of the Catholic Church.

8. Augustus Caesar

Augustus Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire, was awarded the title of "Augustus" because he successfully quelled the civil war that tried to split Rome and China, and then reorganized the Roman government and created the head of state system. Under his rule, the Roman Empire expanded to Hungary, Croatia and Egypt and brought it to the Roman Empire for two centuries.

9. Qin Shihuang

Qin Shihuang, known as the "first emperor", was an outstanding ruler. He annexed six countries in just ten years. After the "Battle of Qin Attacking Hundred Yue", he completed the great cause of reunification and established a powerful centralized country with the Han nationality as the main body.

during his reign, he established the emperor system, unified writing, currency and weights and measures, established a powerful Qin Jun, expanded to the outside world, and established the territory of China.

1. cyrus the great

cyrus the great started from a small leader. After a series of wars, he finally defeated the three empires of Mede, Lydia and Babylon, unified most of the ancient Middle East, and established the ancient Persian Empire from India to the Mediterranean, which was honored by Iranians as "the father of Iran". In addition, he also created the first "human rights charter" to abolish slavery.

Summary:

In the history of human development, there have been many very great rulers, who played a key role in terms of personal charisma, the scale of the empire established and its influence on history.
