Answer 1

The most obvious one is Satan. Led the rebellion against God, and used the Serpent to tempt Adam and Eve into eating the fruit from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, thus condemning humanity to an eternity of Original Sin.

Answer 3

Leopold II of Belgium - killed between 3-20 million people in the Belgian Congo in the early years of the 20th century.

Julius Caesar 1 million Gauls alone (about 25% of the population), probably could go for 5 million as a career total plus slaves. Another Roman candidate is Scipio Aemilianus Africanus who completely wiped out the Carthaginian civilisation.

Queen Victoria, add up the Africans, Indians, etc then factor in say the massacre of the entire population of Tasmanian aborigines (not many but its an entire culture wiped out in little more than 30 years, pretty nasty).

Several Spanish and Portuguese Kings who ruled whilst South American civilisations like the Aztecs were wiped out.

George Bush Jnr and Snr together get several million from war death, starvation (5000 Iraqi kids died every month from malnutrition/bad water under sanctions from Snr), economic destruction of the 3rd world and by supporting dictators but til they both dead can't really let them in the evil club yet, they might turn good.......

Most others already mentioned by others here

Answer 4

Most people would say Hitler or Pol Pot, maybe Stalin, as some have already done, but I would have to say Alexander the Great. Given the technology of the time, he reaped much more destruction than Hitler. He conquered most of the known world and did it all for his own glory. There was no high-minded ideals, he wasn't fighting to free people from oppression or to bring them the light of democracy, he was doing it to carve his name in history.

Hitler, Pol Pot and the other modern day evil leaders at the very least had high-minded ideals. No matter how wrong we might find them, they believed they were serving a higher purpose. Alexander was simply an egomaniac. That, in my opinion, makes him a much more evil leader than anything the last 100 years have produced.

Answer 5

Joseph Stalin; had more than 40 million people killed. He set a world record for most humans killed by a human; Mother Nature still holds top spot with the Spanish Fle Pandemic of 1918-19 where she wiped out an unnamed number of people estimated to be in excess of 40 million people. She and Joseph will have to flip a coin to see who is number one.

Answer 6

I would say Hitler, Idi Amin wasn't an angel either.

Answer 7

It depends what you define as evil. who you are, your age and your expereinces will mean that everyone has a differentopinion.
hitler was indeed evil in the way in which he was higly dictatory and facist. he killed many many people and never showed any remorse.
saddam hisein and Osoma bin laden are modern evil leaders. at leat they are modern to the extent that manypeople have been affected by their evil and horrific behaviour.
however mnay people believe tony blair is evil, he sent hundereds of troops to iraq; many died. but to what measure is this totally his fault.
overal i donot think there is 1 specificperson who fits the title as the most evil. instead i think that unfortunately many leaders have shown evilness.

Answer 8

Genghis Khan.

Answer 9

Throughout history there have been many 'bad' leaders who have inflicted genocides upon the human race. The current genocide is being inflicted by Bush. It's as though humans are being harvested, or at least a part of us is, by something or somebody unseen. This is being done by leaders who appear, outwardly, to be acting in the interest of their people. Think about it, it is very frightening. There has never been a worst leader, there will never be a worst leader; it is an ongoing process. It will not be until we become aware of what is going on that we will be able to change it.

Answer 10

i know this answer will will be controversial to some but i think the most evil "leader" in world history is GOD, yes GOD!

He has continuously let children be hurt, abused and killed through the years, a most supreme being who sits back and let all these atrocious things happen to the most vulnerable amongst us, children. In my personal opinion there is no one worse than someone who allows children to go through things like i mentioned
