  • This video shows the 200th to 101st best military commanders by battles won, according to Wikipedia.
    List of battles won by general: docs.google.com/document/d/19...
    Battles are included only if they have a Wikipedia article
    Methodology:
    I used Wikipedia as a directory of battles:
    1. I created a query with Wikidata Query to get the list of all articles tagged as "battle" by Wikipedia. This gives me about 12,000 battles
    2. I downloaded the data that is included in the top right hand table of every of those Wikipedia article. I did it for the following versions of Wikipedia: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Turkish, Serbo-Croatian, Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, Slovakian, Dutch, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Hindi, Hebrew, Basque, Bulgarian, Romanian, Catalan, Finnish, Swedish, Vietnamese, Persian, Indonesian, Korean
    3. I cleaned up the data on Excel to remove double entries :
    4. I created an index of countries with their predecessor states:

    TOP 100 greatest generals/generals in history This video is a fraud. Because General "Won Gyun" of Korea (Joseon), who appears in Part 2 of the 100 Most Powerful Armed Forces of All Time, is the worst soldier in the history of Korea (Joseon). He has never won a single battle. I know this well because I am Korean. However, in this video, it is said that General Won Gyun won eight times. That is why these CZcams videos of the TOP 100 greatest generals/generals in history and the TOP 500 videos of the greatest generals/generals of history are lies and fraud.

I don't mind if you admired him because a lot of people where like that at his time and he was only better and stronger than them.

As you should know Austria-hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia declared war on Austria, Germany declared war on Russia and then France comes in. It has nothing to do with loosing battles. It is a fact, that Russia was the main nation. France was the main western nation. Yes, I totally agree. Russia was never saved by the allies. In fact France even supported the communists/socialists.
      Uh, the Soviet Union survived because of the allies and because Hitler really wanted Stalingrad, which resulted to a heavy loss. The allies were useful in this moment, because Germany expected something like D-day. That means not 100% of the army fighted the Russians.
      Germany never really lost land during 1914. Besides that the battles were always together. (Like France and UK fight one battle together)
      There are always allies in a war, so I don't know what you want to tell me. And saying, that nations should do 1v1 basically means xy nation is stronger than xy nation. And in this case, I am 100% sure, that Germany was stronger than France
