Who was the greater genius - Alexander or Genghis Khan?

Question

As generals and statesmen.

Answer 1

Alexander's aspirations were certainly larger.  His intent was on ruling the world.  Look at any map of his control and you can see, most of his conquering made some strategic sense.   He took on and beat the most respected Army's of that day.  They used currency is his name.  

Khan certainly had his influences and his armies were large.  He was less likely to have died at the hands of his own peopls but it's said that both of these supposed geniuses may have passed in this manner.

Khan is much less understood too due to the lack of detailed data.  One picture supposedly depicts him as red haired and green eyes born with a clot in his hand---that to be the sign of great leaders.

Alexander supposedly fought many battles on his own where as Khan delegated his orders outward.  Maybe Khan was the genius in this respect because they say Alexander may have ulitmately died of wounds of batte.

As for total aspirations, Alexander had much bigger dreams--and was to be bigger than life--hence, "the great" term used so loosley with his name sake.
