Marshall Zhukov fought the Japanese in a battle in thje 30s and destroyed them and they were scared to fight the soviets in WW2 thats why they would not attack them for the germans.Also he push the germans out of stalingrd and all the way back to Berlin and then Conquered the city.Whats up now?Khan was nice but i really don't like him.

Hannibal. He is universally ranked as one of the greatest military commanders and tacticians in history, alongside Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan and Napoleon, and only a few others. Of the large army of Libyan and Iberian mercenaries that he had at his disposal, Hannibal selected the most trustworthy and devoted contingents and determined to carry the war into the heart of Italy by a rapid march through Hispania and southern Gaul. Hannibal evaded a Roman force sent to operate against him in Gaul; he proceeded up the valley of one of the tributaries of the river Rhone (Isere or, more probably, Durance) and by autumn arrived at the foot of the Alps. His passage over the mountain chain was one of the most memorable achievements of any military force of ancient times. He had arrived, however, with only half the forces with which he had supposedly set out. During his military campaign in Italy, Hannibal had failed to obtain a following among the Italians; in the following year he had an opportunity to turn the tide in his favor. A large Roman army advanced into Apulia in order to crush him and accepted battle at Cannae. Thanks mainly to brilliant cavalry tactics, Hannibal, with much inferior numbers, managed to surround and destroy all but a smallish section of this force. It is estimated that upwards of 40,000 Romans fell at Cannae, the most catastrophic defeat in the history of that city. The moral effect of this victory was such that all the south of Italy joined his cause. Had Hannibal now received proper material reinforcements from his countrymen at Carthage he might have made a direct attack upon Rome; for the present he had to content himself with subduing the fortresses which still held out against him, and the only other notable event of 216 BC was the defection of Capua, the second largest city of Italy, which Hannibal made his new base. Moreover, with a force of only 26-30,000 men, he lacked the strength to take the city.

Did you really have to copy and paste all of that? I am merely trying to prove a valid point. I also, did not copy and pasted all of that. I made a research on Hannibal last year.. |

No he would have been able to he decimated the romans right before.He was good in battle but weak in all the aspects of a general. |

Look kid, you should go do some research before posting stupid stuff, because you obviously dont know anything about Hannibal. He was one of the greatest General in ancient time and almost sacked the city of Rome when it was at the apex of its glory and power. |
