Julius Caesar leads by 32.3 pts · 2 figures compared

General · Modern

General · Ancient
Each figure is scored on 6 dimensions (0—100 scale) based on structured historical data: Military (10%), Political (20%), Influence (20%), Legacy (20%), Leadership (15%), Strategy (15%). The weighted total produces the final ranking.
Scores are computed from structured sub-indicators in the database. Scale factors adjust for era (Ancient ×0.85, Modern ×1.0) and civilization size (Eastern ×1.05, Other ×0.80) to account for differences in population and military scale.
Comparisons are limited to 2—3 figures to ensure readability and statistical meaningfulness.
±5 points per dimension — Sub-scores are derived from historical records with inherent uncertainty. Two figures within 5 points on a dimension should be considered roughly equivalent in that area.
±3 points overall — The weighted combination of 6 dimensions produces a total score with approximately ±3 points of uncertainty. Differences of less than 3 points are not statistically significant— the figures are effectively tied.

Bosco Ntaganda joined the RPF, a Tutsi rebel group fighting the Rwandan government. He fought in the Rwandan Civil War and later participated in the 1994 genocide, though he was a member of the RPF, which stopped the genocide, not a perpetrator.
Ntaganda became a senior commander in the UPC, a rebel group in Ituri, DRC. He was involved in the Ituri conflict, where the UPC committed widespread atrocities against civilians, including massacres, rapes, and the use of child soldiers.
The ICC issued a sealed indictment against Ntaganda for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ituri. He was charged with murder, rape, sexual slavery, and enlisting child soldiers, becoming one of the first individuals indicted by the ICC.
Ntaganda was integrated into the Congolese army as a general as part of a peace deal with the CNDP, despite being under ICC indictment. His appointment was widely criticized by human rights groups, but he remained a powerful figure in the military.
Ntaganda surrendered to the ICC in Kigali, Rwanda, after losing a power struggle within the M23 rebel group. He was transferred to The Hague to face trial, marking a rare instance of a senior warlord voluntarily submitting to international justice.
The ICC convicted Ntaganda of 18 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, sexual slavery, and using child soldiers. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down by the ICC at the time.
