    Default WHO IS THE GREATEST STATESMAN?

    Come right up and place your bets ladies and gentlemen (and birds Diamat) on who is the GREATEST STATESMAN OF ALL TIME?!?!?! Who ever wins the poll will be the reigning GREATEST STATESMAN OF ALL TIME and will reserve the right to have all losers of the poll publicly executed for their impudence as well as their hubris or any other traits the winner finds detestable. This post is unofficially sponsored by the official TWC chat thread. I will be providing a no-expenses paid trip to either the Chernobyl exclusion zone or to Xinjiang province (Winners get to pick!) for everyone who chooses the winning poll answer. Good luck and may the best statesperson win.

    The winner is the person with the most votes at the end, for example if Henry wins he would get to execute the others if he chooses. However, everyone who voted for Henry would win the no-expenses paid trip to Chernobyl/Xinjiang Province.

    Missing some big names here. If I had to rate my top ten:

    Ranked for ability to do diplomacy, execute policy, and draft national strategies (not accomplishment):
    1. Lincoln
    2. Churchill
    3. Augustus
    4. Bismarck
    5. Cyrus the Great
    6. Metternich
    7. Zheng Guofan
    8. Gustavus Adolphus
    9. Chanakya
    10. Peter the Great

    But really though this list is impossible to determine and doesn't include other greats like Philip II, Hamilton, Lycurgus, Gromyko, Pitt, or Frederick the Great.

    Can't forget the almighty Dick Cheney either, I can't think of a bald man with a more significant impact on world history

    @comissar Trosky and Stalin unfortunately couldn't make it onto the poll, they had conflicts of interest with Mao and Hitler and refused to be in a poll with either of them.

    Congratulations on the win literally Hitler. Hopefully this is a sign that more people can see beyond the mustache and swastika, and see the REAL Hitler, the one who could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon in TWO coats, the man who had a song in his heart and who could dance the pants off Churchill.

    Hitler, the man who built more roads than any U.S president before Eisenhower. Hitler freed more slaves than George Washington and Andrew Jackson put together! It's sad that you can spend your entire life building roads and absorbing ethnically similar peoples into your empire peacefully but you kill ONE Poland and all people remember you for is murdering over 6 million people. He was a painter, an architect, an orator, an author, a statesman and a leader.

    Dong Zhou??? Mate it's Dong Zhuo. 1000 lashes and a beheading to the ninth degree!!! May all your clan perish for this insult.

    Anyway it can't be Dong Zhuo. Most of the eunuchs were already dead when he took Luoyang. His reign of terror lasted maybe a year. Pretty weak if you ask me. He also promised to personally behead Yuan Shao. A promise which he did not fulfill. In addition to this he surrounded himself with fools like Lu Bu and didn't completely purge the Imperial court, the same people that killed him later on.

    Your post makes me look bad, I demand that you delete it. Also don't you dare post pictures of birds at me, who do you think you are? Diamat (May his feathers fall out)?

    An idiot who spent his life crushing rebellions against his oppressors, to preserve the most retarded traditions that hold him and his people prisoner.

    That guy? How was he one of the greatest statesmen? For defeating the Taiping Rebellion?

    I'm anti-statesmen but pro-semantic. The devil is in the details but I don't know what those details are.

    Anyway of those listed I will go with Mao or Cao Cao. Mao conquered all of China but come on, Cao Cao is a badass.
    Liu Bang also conquered China but I don't know what he actually did personally.

    On Cheney's list I'll pick Bismarck or Cyrus... maybe Peter the Great.
