Your favourite historical personality

[hoom]

Gandhi.

I'm not sure if I have a favorite, but there are some that I really like. (and of course there's no way I could come close to the entire list)

European (no particular order)

Alexander the Great
Frederick Barbarosa
Julius Cesar
William the Conqueror
Thomas Aquinas
Queen Elizabeth I
William Shakespeare
Ancient Greeks! (too many to list lol)
Other:
Patton
Ronald Regan
Henry Ford
Nikola Tesla
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein

And for the controversial one:
Adolf Hitler. While I know that there were parts of him that were terrible, I still have fascination for a man who can subdue an entire people to his will. He was an amazing orator and if he had not had his deep shortcomings could have been more respectable such as Napoleon. A good example that no matter how evil someone is, they still have admirable qualities.
