The Most Legendary General From Each Major Empire Family

From the banks of the Nile to the fields outside Waterloo — fourteen generals, fourteen empires, and the one thing every great commander understood that everyone else didn't. This video covers the most legendary general from each major empire in history: Egypt, Persia, Athens, Macedonia, Carthage, Rome, the Rashidun Caliphate, Tang China, Byzantium, the Mongols, the Timurids, the Mughals, and Napoleonic France. Every name on this list won battles they had no business winning. A few of them won wars. One of them won everything — and then lost it all in a Russian winter. 🔔 Subscribe for new history videos
