500 Greatest Generals in History: 300-201
I created a query that looks at every battle article in Wikipedia and identifies the military commander who won the battle.
This video shows the 300th to 201st military commanders that won the most battles.
List of battles won by general: docs.google.com/document/d/1a...
Rules
• Battles are included only if they have a Wikipedia article
Methodology:
I used Wikipedia as a directory of battles:
1. I created a query with Wikidata Query to get the list of all articles tagged as "battle" by Wikipedia. This gives me about 12,000 battles
2. I downloaded the data that is included in the top right hand table of every of those Wikipedia article. I did it for the following versions of Wikipedia: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Turkish, Serbo-Croatian, Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, Slovakian, Dutch, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Hindi, Hebrew, Basque, Bulgarian, Romanian, Catalan, Finnish, Swedish, Vietnamese, Persian, Indonesian, Korean
3. I cleaned up the data on Excel to remove double entries :
4. I created an index of countries with their predecessor states:

@@adreasarxontakis5954 There's alot of people who went undefeated though. Don't get me wrong I think Alexander's still the best as well but you got to dive in to the nitty gritty to accurately argue it vs say Sargon of Akkad who also went defeated through out a lengthy campaign of over 10 years. Difference being Alexander had the tougher foe.

Mongolian Army invaded entire Russia including Moscow in 13. century. Subutai is the only general who successfully invaded Russia.
10 of these battles would be the equivalent to 1 of jebes, that man was one of Genghis Khans 4 dogs of war, an was only dispatched when the Mongol hordes couldn't breach a fortresses or the enemy was to powerful.

In my opinion, there is no great and strong leader in the current era except for "King Abdulaziz bin Saud" a great and genius leader who united all the tribes and uniting them under one banner was impossible and he fought and fought to unite Saudi Arabia .. And imagine that King Abdulaziz succeeded in uniting the whole of Saudi Arabia ,Saudi Arabia estimated an area of 2.15 million km and made it under its banner, wisdom and army that consisted of only 50 knights. King Abdulaziz bin Saud is a great legend who did not take her right

I was waiting for Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the 7th sultan of the Ottoman Empire who conquered Istanbul, and many folk songs. If you ask what Yavuz Sultan Selim did, when Yavuz Sultan Selim came to the throne, the area of the Ottoman Empire was 2,375,000 square kilometers. Yavuz Sultan Selim increased this to 6,557,000 square kilometers and increased the Ottoman lands approximately 2.5 times. But you have put only 2 Turkish leaders since the beginning of the series. Founder of the Republic of Turkey, GREAT LEADER GAZİ MAREŞAL MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK and 6th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire II. There is Murat.
