Sometimes in history, it seems like there are people so blessed by their respective god(s) with talent and resources it's funny. Alexander and Temujin are the prime examples. Now, I have two lines of inquiry. One, are these great men (and at least one woman) really responsible for their success, or is mere circumstance at fault? Two, who are others who belong in this category? I will list some that might:
Napoleon, Cyrus, Joan, Abu Bakr, Timur, Augustus, Justinian, Shi Huangdi, Newton, Washington, Bolivar
