who is the biggest villein in history and why?

Answer 1

The bloke next door, he keeps pinching our bleeding dustbin?

Answer 2

Do you mean villein or villain?

Villein was a person very low on the social ladder in feudal Europe before about AD 1400. Notable villeins included Jack Cade, Wat Tyler and John Rackstraw. They led peasant revolts in England. Thomas Munzter did the same in Germany some years later. For some reason the French peasantry didn't rise up until 1789, presumably following the example of the American Colonies. Actually, in France, the term "paysant" is still used with some pride to describe someone who understands and cares for the land.

If you mean villain, the the answer must be Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau of France at the Versailles Conference in 1919. He alone, on behalf of the French Government, insisted on colossal reparations from Germany at the end of World War 1. That insistence led to the French occupation of the Ruhr and Saarland, the decline of German industry, mass poverty and starvation in Germany, the collapse of democracy, and the rise of National Socialism.

Georges Clemenceau personally created the conditions for Adolf Hitler to come to power, for World War 2 to break out, for the Holocaust, the Japan-German Axis, the development of the atom bomb, the Cold War, American imperialism, and now Putin's installation of Star-Wars technology across Eastern Europe. Impressive record, eh?

Answer 3

There are very few records that identify individual villeins. As the lowest class in the feudal system single individuals rarely score a mention in historic records.

Spelling matters.

Answer 4

Josef Stalin is by far and easily the biggest villain in history. Even prior to World War II, Stalin had been involved in large scale murder orders. In 1936 he instigated his "Great Purge" or "The Great Terror" that saw millions of Russians, including his own top officials executed or sent to prison camps. This went on until 1938. Shortly after World War II started, where a total of 27 million Russians were killed, including 19 million civilians. This drastic lost of life can be attributed to Stalin "purging" his experienced military officers, leaving soldiers in command of incompetents. So Stalin is the greatest villain for not only ordering the murders of millions of his own citizens but indirectly killing many of his country's soldiers.

Answer 5

Robert Mugabe.
While Bush and Blair took the war on terrorism to Iraq and toppled Saddam Hussein ( interestingly, Osama Bin Laden wasn't the target! ) , they conveniently ignored the fact that Mugabe had been bullying and murdering innocent people for years.
And he's still allowed to continue to this day!
Why is that do you think?

Because there's no oil in Zimbabwe....

Why this obsession about Hitler? Lack of global knowledge, history and context? Stalin, Spanish inquisition, Attila, Genghis Khan, Hiroshima/Nagasaki, 100 miles of tears, Pinochet ...

Answer 7

There are a few obvious contenders for the title but so many others come to mind also.
Basically, no matter who we decide there will always be another name thrown into the mix that will be worse in other people's eyes. Human beings are a cruel breed & no matter how bad one person is the next will always be worse.

Answer 8

Adolph Hitler murder of several million innocents. Starting a war that killed millions more. Forcing his own nation to be destroyed. Genocide against the Jews of Europe.

Answer 9

Jack the Ripper, The Kray twins, Fred and Rose West, Myra Hindly and Ian Brady, Sweeney Todd.

There crimes were extremely sick and twisted. There are a lot of villains that i have not listed as others have. I need to say that Adolf Hitler was a leader, yes his crimes were horrible but do not feel he comes under the class of villain but sick leader instead for crimes on humanity.

Answer 10

Hitler, he killed 6 million Jews and started a war that would see more than 50 million people die, perhaps the most pivotal, destructive time in human history. Stalin would come in second place.

Answer 11

Mao Zedong, Josef Stalin, and Adolf Hitler all have my vote. Mao Zedong is known for causing severe damage to the culture, society, economy and foreign relations of China. Not to mention he is responsible for the highest death toll rate in the 20th century. (Greater than Stalin and Hitler) Josef Stalin was a ruthless tyrant and party leader who dictated his country. He possessed a position which enabled him to take full control of the Soviet Union and its people. When Stalin wasn't busy killing off large segments of his own population, he was dabbling in statecraft. Adolf Hilter bought death and destruction to millions of people including the genocide of Jews. As was Stalin and Zedong, Hitler was a one of the worst dictators in history.
All had ruthless visions a fractured people and inspired revolutions
