Who were the most successful military generals in human history?

Michael Collins springs to mind lol.

Off the top of my head:

Julius Ceaser

Scipio Africanus (since you say successful he beats Hannibal)

Alexander the Great

Mountbatten

Miltiades

Napoleon

Wellington

Gengis Kahn

Edit Hey Nial I'm related to Micheal Collins!

Cyrus the Great

Ramesses II

Georgy Zhukov

Patton

Eisenhower

MacArthur

Semyon Timoshenko

Mao Zedong

Charles Portal

Nimitz

William Sherman

Ulysses Grant

Robert E. Lee

James Longstreet

How do you define "most successful" Minimal losses really isn't a way to gauge "best." Sending troops to storm Normandy Beach resulted in huge losses but ultimately helped turn the war.

Victory isn't an indicator either. There are some really good generals out there who ultimately lost. Napoleon Bonaparte being one of them. George Washington came close to losing.

But here is my list of the top 5, that I know of. There may obviously be more and the list is subjective but here it goes.

1) Han Xin

2) George Washington

3)Napoleon Bonaparte

4) Julius Caesar

5) Khalid bin al Walid

1. Genghis Khan

2. Alexander the Great

3. Napoleon

4. Hannibal

5. Timur the Great

6. Aleksandr Suvorov

7. Gustav II

8. Julius Caesar

Alexander the great, Scipio Africanus ("the final Who Beat Hannibal"), Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, Stonewall Jackson, William T. Sherman ("the final Who gained the Civil conflict"), Mao Zedong, Erwin Rommel, George Patton, and Douglas MacArthur.

General alexander

Genghis Khan

Alexander the Great

Field Marshal Montgomery

General MacArthur so great that one point Congress was looking at promoting him to a 6 Star

Hannibal

Timur the Great

Aleksandr Suvorov

Gustav II

Julius Caesar

George Custer

Alexander the Great

at guy ^^..I am a huge Patton fan..but Patton had horrific losses..

George Washington is one of the best examples.

IDK who experts say, but as a novice with limited knowledge I would say Gaias Julius, Sun Tzu, Fredrick the Great, Adolf Hitler, Alexander the Great, etc.
