Answer 3

The word 'great' can be seen in many ways. For example: Hitler did some great things, but in some peoples' eyes he did none. Julius Caesar did great things, in some peoples' eyes he was a tyrant who provoked a civil war.

However, answering your question, in my opinion and view, here is a list of people I would say have used their power for great things (even if they did do awful things as well):

Adolf Hitler

Julius Caesar

Augustus Caesar

Vladimir Lenin

John F. Kennedy

Winston Churchill

Probably more, but they are the people who come to my mind.

A good question though, as it's fairly hard to answer - the answerer needs to find people that not only have done great things or were powerful, but have done great things with the power invested in them whilst powerful. Tricky.

Answer 4

Bono

Answer 5

Maria theresa of the austrian hapsburgs
