and still has a tremendous impact on humanity. Entire civilizations
were destroyed and vanished. The greed of these dysfunctional
leaders, focused strictly on their own glory, with no regard for the

violence, poverty, environmental pollution, and mistrust. The
aftereffects have been felt from generation to generation, and we all
still suffer them in our world today.

Here are the ten most destructive leaders in our
history:

Alexander the Great: 356-323 BC. AD

He conquered Greece, defeated the Persian Empire, and
conquered all areas in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), Egypt, and
India.

Julius Caesar: 100-44 BC. AD
He conquered Gaul and added it to the Roman Empire (Western
Europe). He was a powerful and cruel ruler.

Caesar Augustus: 63-14 BC AD
Octavian was born and was one of the greatest conquerors in
history. By the time of his death, he had doubled his empire, but at
what cost?

Attila the Hun: 434-453
He was formidable. A barbaric leader. He was spoken of as the
scourge of God. He devastated the Roman Empire and dominated
all of Europe.

Charlemagne: 742-814
Known as Charles the Great, his brother died under suspicious
circumstances. He carried out numerous attacks in the name of
Christianity and ordered the execution of a thousand people a day.
