WHo Was The Greatest Ruler Ever?

Question

KING TUT???

Answer 1

Queen Elizabeth I of England. She inherited a country that was almost bankrupt and torn by religious strife and under her rule, England became one of the most prosperous and powerful countries in the world.

Answer 2

Let’s go with the traditional George Washington. The United States is both the most powerful and most idealist nation ever to exist. Washington was the architect of this nation’s character and could have been a king but, choose to be a citizen.

Answer 3

Pericles, leader of Athens from the Persian War into the Peloponnesian War. During his time, Athens grew from a local power to the most powerful independent nation of its time (Sparta's power, though comparable, coming in large part from its alliance system). What makes him so incredible is that he did this as just one of several elected generals, had to be re-elected every year, and had to have every single one of his policies passed by the Assembly, in which every adult male citizen who happened to be in the Agora at the time could vote. Not to mention that this was easily the greatest period of scientific, philosophical, literary, political, theatrical, and medical advancement in world history, at least up to and possibly including the modern day. Seriously. Pericles, by a mile.

Answer 4

Winston Churchill was a statesman, orator, author, historian and Prime Minister who rallied the British people in the Second World War and took them from the edge of defeat to victory.

Churchill’s leadership during the war is legendary. He became Prime minister when the Cabinet were on the verge of seeking terms with Hitler and Germany. But Churchill would not contemplate defeat or even a honourable truce. His saying was ‘We will never give in’. Churchill is credited with conducting the war single-handedly. He made himself Minister for War as well as being Prime Minister and delegated the running of home affairs to junior ministers. Churchill sat at his desk in the Cabinet Office, dictating memos and orders and giving instructions but letting others get on with it. Churchill’s true talent was leadership, not performance. Churchill had a bed in his office suite and habitually slept in the afternoon. He had by a side, in his office, a mixture of brandy and water, which was continually refreshed. Critics say that this put him in a continuously drunken state.

Churchill was a historian. He wrote The History of The English Speaking Peoples, an account not just of English history but also of the British Empire and United States. This work was designed to demonstrate that the British people and their colonies are a unique culture distinct from European civilisations.

Churchill was an author. His book My Early Life, although outwardly an autobiography, is in fact novel with the young Churchill as one of the characters. In the book, Churchill sits the entrance examination for Harrow but on taking the Latin paper, carefully wrote the title, his name and the question number 1. After further thought, he adds brackets to the number but cannot think of anything to write and his paper is smudged by an inkblot. Churchill’s comments on the wisdom of the headmaster in accepting him despite this is an ironic comment not on the inability of his younger self but on the educational system of the time.

Churchill was known for his eloquence and his ready wit. On being accused of being a turncoat for changing parties twice, Churchill reposted ‘anyone can rat, but it takes a certain ingenuity to re-rat.’ When an official criticised other writers for ending sentences with propositions, Churchill added a note ‘This is the sort of English, up with which I will not put’. On one occasion a lady heckler shouted ‘Sir, you are drunk’. Churchill replied ‘And you, madam are ugly, but I shall be sober, tomorrow!’
