500 Greatest Generals in History: 516-401
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2019
- I created a query that looks at every battle article in Wikipedia and identifies the military commander who won the battle.
This video shows the 516th to 401st military commanders that won the most battles.
List of battles won by general: docs.google.com/document/d/1N...
Rules
• 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:
Is there any point in ranking them 400-516 if they all won 4 battles?
Importances of the wars are different.
It's because 517th probably won 3
@@adolfstalin2363 That's very subjective. But nonetheless, I kind of expected some to have won 6-8.
It's probably the number of battles won vs how much battles they lost.
A lot of them most likely won more than 4. Jan Sobieski for example definitely won a couple more than that but English Wikipedia doesn't have articles about those battles. This whole list is flawed.
Clickbait, I was promised 500 top generals but I got 516
Hey I told you I've seen you before
Technically it’s 15 more
@@aa_triggered3596 but if you look closely at the beginning it isn't 516
What a shame
Jonny Woche it is actually 516
Napoleon lll:"I've won 4 battles"
Otto Von Bismark:"You heard of chislehurst prison"

Good video!
Very nice video, thanks for sharing, have subscribed, all the best Garry.
good greeting . Thank you very much for this historic military time. With the utmost thanks and respect.
Ayyy you're back
All of them had four battles won then why are we watching this video 🤦♂️
It's more about the names than the little number below them...
2:07 *Arthur MacArthur*
Me : *what* ?
He's the father of douglas macarthur
Wrong at 2:47 top 453 the image is a image of cesare Borgia not a image of Gonzalo de Córdoba ✌
He tried to put the picture of some recognizable person...
Man, I love this series, I am so glad you made it
Johannes Blaskowitz was born in 1883 not in 1833. 👍

how do you do theses videos? (I already checked the description)
Where is Duke of Caxias?
Thanks for going through all that work to find out who this generals were. It has been something I had always wondered about and now I finally know
This was definitely one of the best series ever made on RUclips great job!
RUclips is at its finest when we get content like this.
All if these are great Generals but moment of silence for Parmenion. 😔
Why was he special? I read a book about a guy named parmenion who was a son a Macedonian and a foreign who wasn't accepted by his community... He was crazy about a girl named Derae and he fought against some enemies? Is it him?
@@nekhlioudovbolkonsky2901 I know the book you are talking about. Its a historical novel but not very accurate (he never rose up in Sparta for example). But anyway: Parmenion was a Macedonian general and basically the 2nd in command of Philipp II. and his son, Alexander the Great.
At minute 2:44 there is "Gonzalo de Cordoba", but that is a picture of Cesare Borgia
True. I also thought that was weird

Can you please make more every year videos
Is there any chance that this list will be updated in the future ? Considering these russian and ukrainian dudes fighting as well as others
I learned so much from this video
What software you use bro
Does this also count sieges or just field battles? Because if it also counts sieges then there is a lot of information missing.
I’m so confused and I have a genuine question. If they’ve had only 4 battles what makes them the greatest? I really wanna know
sarai There are 5 videos, watch it and u will know.
@@omnesviaeroman still I think these videos are really misleading
@@jonnywoche609 maybe to you seems easy but winning 4 battles and no dying is medium good

Did you count Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hashiba Hideyoshi as 2 different persons?
Is there any Norwegian generals on the list. Theres many Norwegian born generals who has won many battles.
Not many. There are a ton of Swedish generals missing. Stenbock that won at Helsingborg only have two independent wins. Rhensköld spent most of his time as a wing commander for Charles xii and only have one win.
Do another video where they are categorized by the number of people they've killed.
I was very surprised when I saw mark antony only won 4 battles!
"4 battles won" in the video 1:24
Generalissimo Emilio Aguinaldo has a military record of winning all the battles he led/fought in the Philippine Revolution and when the americans came, he only lost one battle because of the superiority of the technology of the enemy in the battle.
Win-Lose ratio of
•25 Victories(if all major and minor battles combined, 15 if major battles only)
• 1 Defeat
You know that this series only count victories from when they are promoted to general and beyond?
@@omniambitionsbadediting6765 yes
Whats the music in this called?
Enver Pasha
What is music please ! 🙏🏻🥺
I find it too dark ! 😉😏
It is good that South America has representation among these generals, maybe missing one from the War of the Pacific between Chile and Perú/Bolivia (1879-1883), i think General Baquedano from Chile won 4 battles:
- Battle of Los Ángeles
- Battle of Tacna
- Battle of Chorrillos
- Battle of Miraflores
There´s also the Battle of Arica, but that one probably doesn't count because Baquedano did not command directly and put colonel Pedro Lagos on charge.
I´ll guess Baquedano was not here because he only became a general after his victory on Los Ángeles, kinda unfortunate.
