Truly above all standards of modern history
2) Graf, Vladika Petar I Petrović-Njegoš ( Petar I of Montenegro, St. Petar of Cetinje <as of 1832> )
His military qualities and level of authority stay unquestioned, his wonderful diplomatic means to unite the "tribes" of Montenegro ( Montenegro existed as "independant" 1711-est, but was more decentralized than the Holy Roman Empire lol
).
His destroyal of the Turkish army and organization of a new, modern, well-equipped Montenegrin army ( 1785-1796 ) , continuing by his fine diplomacy are simply beautiful.
The organization of the country to repel the until-than undefeated French Army, which was overwhelming south Dalmatia and heading for the Russian ally Montenegro was simply brilliant.
He is the "Father of Montenegro", as we might say it, and was quite a great writer too.
3) General-Field-Marshal Mikhail Ilarionovich Goletnishev-Kutuzov, Prince of Smolensk
Even though much thrown-out by Tsar Alexander I, Kutuzov has shown himself as a fine army leader and as a friend to his men, following his "trainer", Suvorov. By me, the best language-knowing Russian of that period ( Russian, English, French, German, Polish, Swedish, and Turkish ).
Such a man to be so great to enter the speech of the old Communist Stalin in 1941.
His brilliancy and trough-time training of many other staff officers who had become the best officers in Europe ( such as Mikhail S. Voronitsov, Petr Ivanovich Bagration and many, many others ) are unquestionable by anyone.
The man who defeated the Frenchie - Napoleon, if it wasn't for him, we'd probably all be singing "La Marseillaise" today all across Europe, so we owe him a big "Thanks"
4) Napoleon 1er Bonaparte, Emperor of the French
Conquester of all Europe, a man of truly a fine sight for politics and military commanding, with his introduction of the Napoleonic Code he has created a base for all those politicians today to bullshit us with their long no-use speeches, but Napoleon probably didn't see it this way. His brilliant destroying of the Austrians, British, Prussians, tons of Italian states, Turks (1798), many, many Russians ( 1805-7, 1812 <until sept.> ) and many others, an admirer of none-the-less but Alexander the Great of Macedonia, he is most certainly the best western-Europe countries military leader of all time.
5) Marshal of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito
A man of no known origin of any kind, born to a peasant family in that-day Austria-Hungary, that far 1896 on the border between Slovenia and Croatia, in a village near the present-day town of Kumrovec. A Communist and people-lover by heart, Tito became the leader of the Communist Party of the that-day Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and has spent quite a lot of time getting beaten in jail for it.
He is also known as the leader with the most names - over 100, of whom one was "Tito" and the nickname stayed forever. In 1941 he announces the Communist uprising against the invaders of Yugoslavia (Nazis), and immediatelly gets support of the Montenegrin Royal Army in the Fatherland ( who has been fighting the Serbian occupation of Montenegro for 20 years by than ). He starts off with 17000 partizans in 1941, alongside 4000 Montenegrin Royalists and the shortly-allied 15000 Chetniks, and finishes with a semi-elite army of 700.000 by May 8th 1945.
He was the president of Yugoslavia for 35 years, and died in 1980 holding the rank "Marshal of Yugoslavia", he was the last of the allied leaders to pass away (Churchil, Stalin, Truman, de Gaule, Chank-kai Shek <sorry if wrongly written> ), and his funeral was with the largest delegation attendancy ever recorded in history. Truly a great man, he has made the Yugoslav countries have everything they have today. During the '90s he was described as an evil man due to proclaiming the 90s leaders criminals and locking them up, and what had they made - a war with at least 200.000 cassualties, for nothing, for stupid borders of now-seven pitiful countries that got nothing except nothing. The people of the former Yugoslavia are starting to realize that Tito was the better option, though it's too late.....
