Thread: Historical Monsters

As opposed to my other thread, which historical figures do you hate the most? You can hate them for their crimes against humanity, war crimes, deceitful tactics or anything!

I'm certain that Hitler and Stalin will pop up on this list numerous times.

Richard Nixon

Ngô Đình Diệm

Adolf Hitler

Joseph Stalin

Molotov

Mao Zedong

Leopold II of Belgium

Al Capone

Francisco Franco

Pol Pot

Mussolini

Kim il Sung

Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, Pinochet, Andrew Jackson, Mussolini, August Miete, Fulgencio Batista, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (Sha of Iran), The Kim Dynasty in the DPRK, The Saud family in Saudia Arbai,.

All I can think of right now....

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair.

Vlad the Impaler, if for no other reason than because Dracula was based on him. what other real historical figure led to the creation of one of the most well known fictional monsters?

I thought this would be a discussion of numerous imagined and mistaken creatures from the past. Darn.

Maybe Thatcher but seems a little harsh considering humanitys history so will probably go with Napoleon, guy was a right little prick.

Napoleon had his good sides. He turned France from a corrupt nation into one of the most powerful empires to ever exist. He emancipated the Jews while still maintaining a good relationship with the Church. His militarism was not the best.

He was a tactical and operational geniues, but his strategic ambitions knew no limit, just like Hitler. That's why he failed. Still, he was a masterful military and political genius

If Napoleon had not invaded Russia his empire would have lasted longer.
