Who was the greatest conquerer of all time. Someone like Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Julius Casaer, Augustus Casaer, Attila the Hun, Adolph Hitler( you don't have to include this putz, just a more modern person) or someone else.

Temujin, later to be known as Genghis Khan would be my pick as the greatest conquerer of all time. For three reasons:
1. He didn't inherit or ascend to the throne of an existing empire.
2. He conquered more territory than any other man in history.
3. The Mongols, consisting largely of cavalry, were the historic predecessor of the blitzkrieg. Attacks were researched, well-planned, and ruthless.
Alexander the Great would be my second choice because of his similar adeptness at conquering all before him.

I'm going to say either Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great both conquered an incredible amount and had a huge empire.

Genghis Khan, for acreage, by a long shot. But minus points for staying power. Despite the immediate tripartite division after his death, for continued cultural/political impact, Alexander.

tough choice between Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napolean, and Hitler. they all conquered pretty much the same areas, though i believe Genghis may have conqured slightly more, so i'd go w/ him.
