Tfw there will never be a man like him ever again

>Tfw there will never be a man like him ever again.

A gayboy that dragged his armies without proper planning into the unknown and made it out because his advisors and generals did all the heavy lifting for him?

Here's hoping there will never be another.

Is that the guy whom's biggest dream was to live in a wine barrel?

>Alexander the Great
>was actually 5'2"

childhood is idolizing tactical genuises like alexander, hannibal, and napoleon.

adulthood is realizing that strategic genuises like ol' Phil of Macedon, Scipio Africanus, and Hadrian are better idols.

fug forgot pic :DDDDDD

>Tfw there will never be a man like him ever aga...

(You) don't spend it all in one place.

Forgetting someone?

There has been a lot of guys like him, he was just more "lucky"

Philip and Hadrian were excelent rulers, great in warfare, diplomacy and stewardship, but Scipio was a (great) general just like the dudes above

There was once after him

Trump is no where near the level of Alexander. Stop. Honestly, modern ((leaders)) in general are no where near that level.

(((Trump)))

nah his strategic mastery is what won him the war against hannibal. His ability to gather men and resources, create new alliances, and think with strategic foresight that allowed him to ultimately triumph at zama, his battles were tactically sound but always had strong strategic purpose. His ability to win over the numidians is an example of his superior strategic mind.

well, part of that is, that there aren't many absolute dictatorships and monarchies left. And those who are left are poor shitholes with low populations.

If an American President wants to become e.g. Donald The Great, he can't get his military campaigns through the Senate etc.

>Alexander
>not a strategic genius

You forgot Duke of Wellington

One of my favourites

Why do we worship warlords who brought nothing but death and misery over countless people?

What exactly did Alexander do to make the world a better place?

Built a shitton of cities and spread Hellenic culture to the east, making possible the first real cultural exchange between the far east and the west.

I think he would be better remembered if he actually bothered to spend any time governing his empire instead of mindlessly conquering more and more territory, but he was still undoubtedly a great man, and no worse than his contemporaries or predecessors: men like Cyrus the Great who also built their success on conquered and subjugated peoples.

Why do people always post this pic of Alexander when he was clearly fair haired with hetero-chromia?

Exactly this.

In a brief moment he carved a swath of ruin and conquest over scores of the ancient world, and in the wake of his passing the upturned realms fractured and divided.

He had not brought any advancing principle, merely a sated appetite for rulership.

shit tier desu

What about Khalid Ibn Waled

Imagine being this pathetic
