Genghis Khan? seeing as he controled the largest empire the world has ever seen, im pretty sure he should be either #1 or 2, we might not be so familiar with him here, but in asia he would be like the hitler in that part of the world. You could also argue Truman for dropping the atomic bomb, which is a consequence we still fear today.

[[OHM] COL.GRINDER]

My choice would be Nikola Tesla and this is why:

 

 

Tesla is often described as the most important scientist and inventor of the modern age, a man who "shed light over the face of Earth".[3] He is best known for many revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Contemporary biographers of Tesla have regarded him as "The Father of Physics", "The man who invented the twentieth century"[4] and "the patron saint of modern electricity."[5]

My two Cents---- Leadership is the ability to influence. In terms of bad or good influence. How can you classify someone as "a great influential person" when there values are bad or ignorant. In this case "Hitler" or "Osama bin ladin"? I wouldn't even call them most influential -- simply because there ideas and leadership was halted and doesn't effect our ideas of living in present or future. Example both Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates have more influence to shape our history.

 

 

I know many great leaders in the military (people I would sacrifice there lives for). Being a military leader is not as "constructive" as being a civil leader --- because the military is designed for leadership and demands influence based on position. Civil leaders are more influential on there actual ideas....Alot of great names are not being mentioned.

 

Abraham Lincoln -Civil War era President who abolished slavery

Martin Luther King Jr - Anti-segregation activist

George Washington - independence leader, first President of the USA

Sir Winston Churchill - World War II-era Prime Minister

Galileo Galilei - Founder of modern science

William Shakespeare - Legendary playwright, director

Nelson Mandela - South Africa's first black President, anti-apartheid activist

Albert Einstein - Scientist, founder of theory of relativity

Mother Teresa - Catholic nun, child poverty activist

Isaac Newton

Caesar

Genghis Khan

Michelangelo

William Shakespeare

Ayn Rand

Alexander the Great

Plato

Karl Marx

 

......list goes on and on.

 

 

To answer your question though........most of the "GREAT" leaders mentioned above were influenced by the the greatest man ever to walk the Earth.

 

Jesus Christ. -- 33% percent of the population today is classified as "Christians"

 

I can go on for days about his influence on people --- I'm a personal testimony.

Eeek lets avoid the use of religion and "Jesus" in influencing other world leaders, that's sketchy to say the least. Besides only 3 of the people you mentioned above were Christian believers and active in the religion. The rest were atheist, agnostic, or believed in Gods of a different order.
