Hey anons, who is your favourite leader of the 19th century?

Pic related, the great man who united Germany by mis-translating a telegram so the Germans would band up to fight the French lole

Bism*rck is probably burning in hell.
France should extend to the Rhine in the West and to the Ebro in the South.

Sadly we weren't ready for him.

Peak of Lithuanian looks

Bismarck was a genius statesman, but Napoleon was a once in a millennium prodigy. I'll go with him.

Robert E. Lee

Could his head get any squarer?

Oh come on, no bully based Kazys. He looked fine, these old photographs exaggerate his Ayyy face. I have some pictures of my relatives from the '20s and before, they look like they have an unwashed potato for a head in some of them.

What made him special? All I know is that he fled to the US.

>top 5 greatest American generals
Lee was a terrible general who constantly caused unnecessary casualties to his own men, he's only remembered as a good general because he was the best thing the south had and the historical revisionism that rewrote the narrative around him to make him out to be some sort of misunderstood tragic hero

I just like the guy. He was involved with the resistance against tsarists before Lithuania got independence, held a mix of socialdemocratic/classical liberal/humanist views. Anti-marxist. Spoke out against consolidation of government power (basically a "checks and balances " system). Seeked to allign Lithuania with UK/France/Sweden instead of Russia/Germany. Saved some jews, refused to collaborate with nazis.
Probably not what Lithuania needed at that time, considering our neighbors.

((( historical revisionism )))

>Historical revisionism is Jewish subversion
Lmao@your life lad

Sherman was a terrible general who constantly caused unnecessary casualties to his own men, he's only remembered as a good general because he was the best thing the north had and the historical revisionism that rewrote the narrative around him to make him out to be some sort of misunderstood genius

>(((if I put things in brackets it makes them not true)))
he was a shitty general who caused thousands of unnecessary deaths in the defense of slavery which he years after the war claimed to have been about states rights, enjoy your denial though I guess

Any citations? He is quite literally a genius, balancing the needs of the army with the needs of the southern civilians by using the census to only take what was needed and let the civies be content simultaneously

Sherman was clearly a better general than Lee at the absolute least contrarian-kun

I just think it's funny how you could swap a word or two and that would be a pitch perfect description of the sorry state of union leadership in the war.
Sherman was their best general solely by virtue of not being as terrible as the others, and his time specifically as a general in the regular army only entailed terrorising women and chicken farmers and not somehow falling on his face against a South that had already bled itself white anyway.

Based Muhammad Ali of Egypt. I wish the Brits and French have minded their own business and just let the man conquer the Ottoman empire. And I wish his descendants weren't massive failures. Unlike him.
