Are there any military and/or political leaders from 1900 to today who you feel deserve to be called 'the Great'?

Both Roosevelt presidents, Deng Xiaoping, Lee Kuan Yew, Paul Kagame.

No modern military leaders can achieve the full spectrum of excellence that would earn them such a title.

Einstein and Hawking both deserve the titles of the Great for their respective contributions to society and technology

Given that leaders of the past designated "the Great" were not necessarily actually good for their countries, but were just influential and active, I think people like Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Reagan, Thatcher, Churchill, de Gaulle, Adenauer would qualify. Also all of these >>1844534

Are you implying Thatcher wasn't good for the UK?

>>1844495
If we model it like Alexander the Great, than we need military leaders.

Here I think Patton, Rommel, and who ever else that has similar campaign experience could come close.

The United States of America.
