What if every country's greatest leader was to rise up from the dead right now and take control of their country with absolute power? Let's assume they have people who explain to them all the current modern situation and technology, along with what happened from when they died.

Louis IX left France much stronger than it was when he started his reign. He was admired by all of Europe. Napoleon left it much weaker.

the United States will become dominant under George Washington. his ideas built the country's early government and he will make partisanship illegal due to all of the problems and inefficiencies it objectively causes.

a lot of the other stuff depends on who you classify the greatest leader. the political landscape will be extremely different depending on who leads Germany and Russia (Stalin, Lenin, Brezhnev, Peter the Great, Ivan the Terrible for Russia probably; Charlemagne, Hitler, Bismarck, Frederick Barbarossa for Germany)

By "greatest" leader do you mean the one that most represents the country or the one that actually did the best in history?

I don't even like tricky dick and thought he was average at best, but just because ol' george was the first and one of the most iconic doesn't mean he was the best.

Same concept applies to JFK, he is literally one of the most iconic presidents ever yet he would have been a mediocre president.

It's arguable if Washington was really our greatest leader (although he's certainly top 5 at worst), but I think he would be a disastrous modern president. Imagine if a guy who doesn't understand the concept of a plane was giving orders to the Air Force.

>and he will make partisanship illegal

Washington couldn't even make partisanship illegal while he was still alive. He strongly favored the Federalists.
>>
>>1502726
Jackson firmly belongs in that "iconic, but mediocre" category. And there's really no good option, because many of our best presidents would make horrible leaders today. Nobody would take FDR seriously because he's a cripple, any president before 1900 would be seriously out of his depth, Teddy Roosevelt's enthusiasm for imperialism would make him hated at home and abroad, etc..

I don't think so. My impression is that most of them were intellectually superior to those. I can't imagine John Quincy Adams writing some ridiculous politically correct text for Glamour magazine.
