Who was your favorite historical figure from when you were a kid?

Henry V, the school library had an adult level book (but not scholarly)on him when i was about 8 or 9. Read that fucker inside out many times.

Adolf Hitler, and this isn't a meme.

>Leningrad
Petrograd

Same, I remember finding this on youtube and having sympathy towards him. I was very young at the time so I wasn't "conditioned" against it yet.

Julius Caesar due to countless hours of R:TW and Civ

>Petrograd
Nyen

Abraham Lincoln.
He sort of still is

Saladin

Asterix did it for me. But yeah, Casear is bae.

Robert E Lee

Alexander the Great

Ol' Georgie

Hitler looks very charismatic and people who don’t know him might assume he’s a great man just from his looks.

George Washington

Honestly, I don't really like the mustache. He would've looked better with a full mustache.

Caesar Divi Filius Augustus

Da.

This. It's pretty much the default for all American kids. Him or Lincoln.

arminius the hero of the teutoburg forrest!

I'm actually Malaysian (Chink), I read about him in my primary school's library and suffice to say I idolized him for gaining independence from Britain. Mind you at that time we just started to learn about our country's Prime Ministers

Same.
I actually used to spreg out about why Napoleon wasn't name "The Great" just like Alexander.

>be me
>name is alexander
>as a kid start liking the guy with your name
>as an adult realize he's among the GOAT generals and was legitimately great
