History is full of interesting events, glorious battles, the marvels of human achievement and overall intriguing stuff. That said, it's also home to a fair share of assholes. Be they dictators, tyrants or rampaging warlords, history is no stranger to the resident dick.
Several notable examples:
-Hitler: Instigated a genocidal campaign to rid the world of, well, pretty much everyone he didn't like. Also guilty of sporting an ugly mustache.
-Stalin: Power-hungry to the core. Orchestrated the Soviet Union's Great Purges. Millions of political dissidents either executed, sent to gulags or spontaneously disappeared. Be they kinsmen, family or friends, if you didn't see eye to eye with Stalin, you'd quickly find yourself in some obscure Siberian labor camp.
-Genghis Khan: Forefather of what would become the largest empire the world has ever seen. Widely applauded as religiously tolerant and a proponent of a semi-meritocratic system of government. Also widely deplored as a ravenous tyrant who massacred populations whole, razed cities to the ground and really liked to rape princesses. So many people died as a result of his campaigns that carbon levels plummeted and forests actually regrew in depopulated areas. Few dictators can call themselves environmentalists.
-Attila the Hun: Ravenous warlord, responsible for millions of deaths and the extermination of entire ethnicities. Sadistic to the core and liked killing for fun. He also liked gold, lots and lots of gold. Became the world's first mafia boss, usually demanding bribes from the Roman Empire in exchange for not burning their cities to the ground.
So, who do you think was the worst of the worst? The utmost deplorable person in the history of humanity. Although mass murder and causing widespread chaos isn't a must, in this case, it's a good resume builder.
