Hitler, because he was such a genious, but went so terribly wrong. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/adolf_hitler.html Read his shit, he was a fuckin genious.
Josef Mengele gets my vote. I was doing a play a few years ago that was set in Auschitwitz (sp?) and the theme of the play revolved around Mengele and his twins. I ended up doing some research and found out about the horrible experiments he used to perform. I'm majoring in abnormal psychology in university, so I've spent a lot of time researching sickos, but Mengele was something particularly evil.
I found on limeware the p2p site a 15 minute long speach that hitler gave to the youth movement when he first came into power before the war. Never have I seen so many ranks of young people nor the showmanship anyplace in modern times, he spoke of how the youth was the future......a very well spoken speach and obviously this was way before he went down the wrong path to take over the world. the title on limeware is "adolf hitler rare film nazi" its a 83mb dl yes he went off the deep end but before you dog this post you should watch it I think very few leaders start down the wrong road on purpose, if you watch this you might ask yourself at what point did he go wrong. You will never see anything like this in modern times in terms of a such captive audience.
General Lord Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis, though he wasn't that evil. I think he was quite the genius of a general, though he was screwed in the American Revolution... eventually became governor general in India.
I would have to say Pope Innocent VIII because he is consider the most evil pope who has ever lived. He is the one who basically started the witchcraft trials, or made way for them, he had children by different mothers, when he was suppose to be living a life of Celibacy, and so on...
my favorýte ýs of course MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK but why we love leader of hýstory..is there any leader now when we love hým or her???
While sharing the wealth is certainly the ethical thing to do, I think to condemn the rich as "evil" is a little harsh...
Josef Mengele was one nasty nasty guy Hitler (of course) although, he did do some good things for Germany, like motorways and the economy for a bit and stuff. Nero is also rather interesting.
