10 most ruthless leaders of all time
Businessinsider.in
There have been mean leaders at all times and ages, but the ruthlessness of these leaders surpass all in human history.
One man’s hero is another man’s tyrant, a popular maxim goes. No matter how a historian tries to spin it, ordering a tower to be constructed out of live men stacked and cemented together with bricks and mortar is downright brutal.
Here’s a list of the most ruthless leaders of all time:

Reign: 1933-1945 Invasion of the Barbarians or The Huns approaching Rome by Ulpiano Checa, 1887 / Wikimedia Commons The Huns became one of the primary contributors to the decline of the Roman Empire. By Dr. Joshua J. Mark / 04.25.2018 The Huns were a nomadic tribe prominent in the 4th and 5th century CE whose origin is unknown but, most likely, they came from “somewhere between the eastern edge of the Altai Mountains and the Caspian Sea, roughly latest Kazakhstan” (Kelly, 45). They are first mentioned in Roman sources by the historian Tacitus in 91 CE as living in the region around the Caspian Sea and, at this day, are not mentioned as any more of a threat to Rome than any other barbarian tribes. In time, this would change as the Huns became one of the primary contributors to the fall of the Roman Empire, as their invasions of the regions around the empire, which were particularly brutal, encouraged what is known as the Great Migration (also known as the “Wandering of the Nations”) between roughly 376-476 CE. This migration of peoples, such as the Alans, Goths, and Vandals, disrupted the sta by Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer One of the most egregious slaps in the face to the Catholic Church that has been seen in a distant time took place at Georgetown University. Fr. Euteneuer comments on the award given to the abortion-advocating priest, Fr. Robert Drinan. Spirit & Life Human Life International, October 27, 2006 One of the plagues of the Catholic Church in modern America is the barely-disguised faith abuse of many of our so-called Catholic universities. The actions of some of these universities are just intolerable from the viewpoint of authentic Catholicism, and they should be exposed and rebuked for the heresy, apostasy or the just plain pathetic Catholicism that they advocate. This week saw one of the most egregious slaps in the tackle to the Catholic Church that has been seen in a long time: an award for an abortion-advocating priest. The culprit? Georgetown - again. This fallen-away Catholic school in DC has an astounding history of offensive conduct against the Catholic Faith. Remember the scandal of the removal of Crucifixes from the classrooms despite student protests? How about The 6th century Gothic monk, Jordanes, tells us that Attila the Hun, the notorious and allegedly merciless barbarian (who was a prime mover in the fall of the Roman Empire), died of a nosebleed on his wedding night in 453 AD. He had just married his latest wife, the beautiful young Ildico, and celebrated with great feasting. In the morning, the guards broke into his room and found him dead in his bed, his face covered in blood with his disconsolate wife distraught on the bed beside him. His fellow warriors showed their grief by cutting their faces, since a superb warrior should be mourned by men’s blood, not women’s tears [1]. Portrait of Attila’s death marked by a nosebleed (c. 406-453), illuminated manuscript page When I was a senior house officer in the 70s, I remember a sailor who came into the casualty department more than once, on his return from the sea. He had heavy nosebleeds, which he said occurred when he had sex with his wife. My boss said it was his blood pressure going up, but he had never had any evidence of hypertension. This was all before three biochemists won a well-de Roman villa in Gaul sacked by the hordes of Attila the Hun, by Georges Rochegrosse, 1910 / Wikimedia Commons “They made their foes flee in horror because their swarthy aspect was fearful.” Edited by Matthew A. McIntosh / 09.09.2018 Jordanes, a Goth writing in Italy in 551, a century after the collapse of the Hunnic Empire, describes the Huns as a “savage race, which dwelt at first in the swamps,—a stunted, foul and puny tribe, scarcely human, and having no language save one which bore but slight resemblance to human speech.” “They made their foes flee in horror because their swarthy aspect was fearful, and they had, if I may dial it so, a sort of shapeless lump, not a head, with pin-holes rather than eyes. Their hardihood is evident in their wild appearance, and they are beings who are harsh to their children on the very day they are born. For they cut the cheeks of the males with a sword, so that before they receive the nourishment of milk they must absorb to endure wounds. Hence they flourish old beardless and their young men are without comeliness, because a tackle furrowed by th
By the end of 1941, Hitler’s German Third Reich empire (and Axis) included almost every state in Europe plus a large part of North Africa. He devised a plan to create his ideal ‘master race’ by eliminating Jews, Slavs, gypsies, homosexuals and political opponents by forcefully sending them to concentration camps, where they were tortured to death. According to reports, the Nazis killed about 11 million people under Hitler’s regime.
