  Among the leaders of the 20th century, arguably none shaped the course of history as much as Vladimir Lenin (1870-1942), the Communist revolutionary and political theorist who led the Bolshevik Revolution that established the Soviet Union. In addition to shaping the Marxist-Leninist political thought that steered Soviet ideology, he was the first Soviet premier until his death and set the Soviet Union on its way to becoming one of the world’s two superpowers for most of the century, in addition to being the West’s Cold War adversary. 
  As it turned out, the creation of the Soviet Union came near the end of Lenin’s life, as he worked so hard that he had burned himself out by his 50s, dying in 1924 after a series of strokes had completely debilitated him. In the initial aftermath of Lenin’s death, Trotsky had been his ally’s heir apparent, and for those inclined to believe the Soviet experiment had started promisingly but gone astray, Trotsky became the embodiment of the betrayed promise of the early Bolshevik revolution. There were certain ironies in this widespread sympathetic interpretation of Trotsky’s legacy, because Trotsky had overseen and spearheaded campaigns of persecution against Russians suspected of “counterrevolutionary” leanings, and he had written a long tract defending these “terroristic” measures as necessary safeguards of the revolution. 
  Near the end of his life, Lenin expressly stated that the regime's power should not be put in the hands of the current General Secretary of the Communist Party, Joseph Stalin. Of course, Stalin managed to do just that, modernizing the Soviet Union at a breakneck pace on the backs of millions of poor laborers and prisoners. If Adolf Hitler had not inflicted the devastation of World War II upon Europe, it’s quite likely that the West would consider Stalin (1878-1953) the 20th century’s greatest tyrant.

  Rome's Greatest Generals -...

  The rise of the Roman general was a gradual yet transformative process that shaped the very foundation of Rome’s military might. In the early days of the Roman Republic, military leadership was closely intertwined with social status and political influence. Unlike later periods where generals held almost absolute power, early Roman commanders were often aristocrats or elected officials whose primary duties lay not only in warfare but also in governance and civil administration. 
  One of the pivotal aspects that shaped the rise of the Roman general was the evolution of military traditions. Initially, Rome’s military structure was heavily influenced by the Etruscans and other neighboring cultures. Early Roman armies were comprised of citizen-soldiers who fought primarily to protect their homeland rather than for conquest. Generals were typically chosen from the patrician class, and their leadership was seen as both a duty and an honor. As Rome expanded, the need for a more organized and strategic military became apparent, leading to the emergence of commanders who were not just noblemen but skilled tacticians. 
  The social and political influences on the role of the general were significant. During the Republic, the Senate played a crucial role in appointing generals, often selecting consuls or appointed military tribunes. These leaders were expected to exemplify Roman virtues such as bravery, discipline, and piety. The successes of early generals not only brought personal glory but also bolstered their political careers. Victorious commanders could parlay their military achievements into political power, as evidenced by figures like Scipio Africanus, who leveraged his triumphs against Carthage to gain influence within the Senate.
