Hmmm. There are some great conquerors out there you guys arent mentioning.

Cant believe no has said Napoleon. That guy was the second anti-christ, and he was brilliant. We could very well be speaking French right now if his ego hadnt gotten so large and he tried to take Russia.

And the Spaniards arent getting any credit. They were extremely large at one point. They owned all of central america, mexico, and a lot of South America. Very impressive in my opinion. And Hornando de Cortest (Spanish) canquered some of the greatest Indian Empires of all time.


Atilla the Hun was cool too...until he drown on his own blood...from a nose bleed.

The Spaniards did have a large empire, but they also picked their fights very carefully. Its very easy to conquer the Americas when you have guns and your enemies basically have sticks.

Lets not forget about America either. The entire country is an Empire that seceded and ther pushed all the way to the Pacific ocean.

Second? Who would he be after? If you're going by the Bible Code, he was first and "Hister" was second. Could've just been a typo on your part, I don't know what you meant.

But yes, Napolean was a pretty bright man. A bit peculiar that he pawned off Lousiana to a newbie country like the States though.

If you had read the first page, maybe you wouldn't be making this comment.
