Legendary generals of the West

Author: Raana Kanwal

In today’s modern machine age, the policies and practices of warfare have changed. Sometimes people and organisations make decisions that are not well-versed in military tactics, so the role of the generals is unclear.

I am referring to the nine major generals of the West who have performed remarkably well in their own time through the best combat tactics, according to the research report below.

Frederick The Great – Frederick II of Prussia was a student of modern warfare, and at the end of the eighteenth century he began to guide soldiers in the modern war. He waged constant wars against Austria. Austria was the great power of the Roman Empire at that time. Frederick led the troops directly in the battles. Frederick was the name of a force that is still recognized today.

George S Patton – George Patton was the most controversial figure of the Allied forces in World War II. Patton may have thought he was one of the great warriors of the ancient world, who was born again. He was also the teacher of Iron Eisenhower. During World War II, he responded in a similar manner to the invasion of German soldiers. In some respects his role has been controversial, but no one can deny the fact that this general played an important role in the victory of the Allies in Europe.

Joan Of Arc – the French warrior fought several wars against England at just 19 years of age. The girl from the peasant family claimed that she received divine orders. King Charles II of France had lost the war, but this young woman created a new spirit in the French. Eventually, she was captured by the British troops and burned alive. She was intelligent and unsuccessful in almost every combat tactic.

Julius Caesar – regarding Julius Caesar, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the best Roman general. It occupied several territories to expand the Roman Empire. Its war policies are still taught in military academies. For political and personal reasons he was betrayed and his life ended.

George Washington – George Washington was America’s most capable leader when the revolutionary forces of the United States fought against the British rule for independence. Although Washington had the full backing of its subordinates, the most important of them was Arnold, a very resourceful man, but there was no answer to Washington’s military capabilities. Washington unites US troops. If Arnold had not been a traitor, his name would have been respected in America today. Washington won in Trenton and Yorktown. It was re-elected by the Americans as its president.

Robert E Lee – Robert E Lee is remembered for the American Civil War. It defeated the pro-Confederate forces in several places. He does a lot of damage to his opponents, but he does the least damage to his soldiers.

Saladin – the most prominent name for the Crusades is Salah Uddin Ayubi. He prevented the European attacks from being too successful. He conquered Syria and Egypt without any difficulty and liberate Jerusalem. His competitors were also highly respected. Since he was active on European land, his name has been included in the list.

Hannibal Barca – the opponent that Rome feared the most was Hannibal Barca. The general was raised by his father for the purpose of fighting against the Romans. He was a supporter of forced peace. He abandoned the old war tactics and took the modern approach. He achieved many successes and slept thousands of Romans to death, but was eventually defeated by Scipio Africanus.

Napoleon Bonaparte – Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military general who was the first emperor of France and is considered one of the world’s largest military leaders. Napoleon founded the French Empire that stretched from Madrid to Moscow and Oslo to Cairo. He conquered many countries but was eventually defeated at Waterloo. He was imprisoned in an island by the British, where he died a short time later.
