The Scummiest People in (Alternate) History

5 - Thomas Jefferson Treach - Military dictator of the CSA for two decades and architect of the final solution to the "Negro Problem".

How could anybody forget Treach's brutal "Negro buddies" in Africa and the Caribbean?

Anybody remember Usibepu I of the Zulu Empire? The absolute worst of the lot?

Nobody wants to look back at how all the "Progessives" were cheering Usibepu on when he drove the Belgians out of the Congo...and then how the "curtain of silence" fell over Africa after the Zulu Emperor starting buddying up with Treach and other dictators...and when the world focused on Africa again, they learned that Congo, Botswana, and Zambia had been nearly depopulated by the Emperor's "ideal Bantu state"?

Sheesh.

We can also directly blame Usibepu for the continuation of the Apartheid system in the United Republics of Southern Africa to this day. You can't even talk to an Afrikaaner politican (or even "soutie" politicians in the URSA) about loosening some of the restrictions without them pointing to the figure of Usibepu I. (I'm sure you've all heard the cliche, "If Mandela wants Black rule so badly, why doesn't he just move to Zululand?" Well, d'uh--he's not Zulu, that's why!)

I actually met Usibepu II once, believe it or not. Hard to believe a guy like that came from the loins of a complete monster. Apparently he really wasn't aware of his dad's activities in the north (not terribly surprising, since Usibepu was almost 70 when his son was born), and there aren't too many rulers who'd have the integrity to resign in light of his father's misdeeds. I mentioned something about his dad and I saw the old man's face contort with shame; I felt pretty bad about bringing it up.

Anyway, I wish Mr. Usipedu the best, out there in Cali. It's nice to see that people are finally watching his cartoons (from African emperor to the "Max Fleischer of the 21st century"--only in America, folks!). Don't hold the sins of the father against the son!

And Adenoid Hynkel of Tomainia was a pretty scuzzy guy. Weird how he seemed to mellow out toward the end. I don't believe any of the crazy theories that a friggin' barber replaced him, though.

Krsto Žganec - Leader of the communist revolt in the Yugoslav Union. Responsible for a wide veriety of crappy things, including the killing of innocent anti-communist civilians. Eventually he was defeated, and exiled to Kefalonia with his communist followers.
 
Doesn't "Abdul" just mean "servant of"?

...wait, I've just checked and you're right - it means "servant of the", not "servant of". If anything, it should be "Abd-Ali"

"Abdul", at least in Islamic sense, can only be used alongside one 99 names of God besides the name "God" (Allah) its self. Because Muslims should only worship and serve God.

Of course during pre-Islamic era though, otherwise happened. For example, Muhammad's grandfather's name, or was named to be exact, Abdul Muthalib.
 
Commodus II:

Son of the emperor Commodus, his actions made his father look tame.

Let's just put it this way, the Empire did not recover until well after Mithraism took over.
 
From my Daluosi TL:

Emperor Constantine VI:
Crucified the Catholic Pope on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica.

Emperor William III of the Holy Roman Empire: Launched a massive persecution of heretics and Jews in the Holy Roman Empire. Ordered the Pope to start the Inquisition, an organization eventually responsible for millions of deaths in Europe, Africa and Vespekia.

Caliph Abdul al-Mansur II: Spent a great deal of money making his architectural masterpiece, the Alhambra, while indulging in enormous luxury. In the meantime, failed harvests and the ongoing Black Death meant that his people were starving and dying of disease. Is venerated as a Prophet in Al-Andalus to this day, despite the fact that the holiest thing he spread was genital herpes.

Emperor Qilan of Wei:
This is going to require a list.

*Left Persia, Mesopotamia, Arabia and Syria so completely depopulated, that the population in the 21st Century CE is still lower than it was in the 12th Century CE. (Body count: 30 million)

*Systematically depopulated conquered cities in China and Chinese client states Southeast Asia. (Body count: 20 million)

*Indiscriminately slaughtered or enslaved up to 1/3rd of Mahabharata's populace, leaving the Indian subcontinent crippled for centuries. (Body count: Unknown, but very high).

*Built a pyramid out of the skulls of 1 million children outside of the Mahabharatan capital of Paliputra.

*Built a massive palace 1.5 kilometers on a side, using slave labor.

*Total Body Count: More than 100 million.

*This was all before the invention of gunpowder, so most of the killing had to be done with swords.

*Is regarded as a hero by the Chinese people, and only the Chinese people.

5. King Louis XVII (1785-1833) - King of the French placed on the throne after Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. I know most people are going to argue that he was a victim of circumstances, especially since the French people were still supportive of republican reforms and what not. However, when the boy got older in 1824, he began the countryside purges, killing thousands of French peasants. And that was only the beginning of the nightmare: Louis later brought his purges into the cities, specifically Paris, effectively bringing about the Second Reign of Terror. The worse part about it was his motivation: revenge for killing his parents.

4. Pope Martin VI (1483-1546) - Elected with a 90% majority from Catholic churches throughout the Roman Empire, Pope Martin VI has a very equal good side and a bad side. His good side would include his ability to decentralize the Catholic Church and put faith in the hands of the believers, not the Priests, Monks, and Nuns. Although, none can reject he had a very dark bad side: his hatred for the Jewish people. Immediately after he was elected, the Pope initiated his doctrine of destroying Jew homes and burning synagogues by issuing the Edict of Worms which did just that. His intent was to make Europe a Catholic continent from Lisbon to the Urals. Millions of Jewish people living in the Empire either made their way south to Africa (Carthage has a 67% Jewish population today) or to the New World where they would make their homes in the Chesapeake Bay.

3. Prime Minister Samuel Parris (1653-1720) - He was only a child when Oliver Cromwell ended his reign as the first Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He began his career as a merchant for the "Puritan Republic" obtaining slaves from the Barbados and earning himself a name before going to Harvard to be educated as a minister. In 1692, he was elected to be Prime Minister. The very next year, strange circumstances caused him to be aware of witchcraft in Massachusetts. His reign was marked by the near genocide of good Puritan people whose only crime was being on land that Mr. Thomas Putnam wanted. He was ousted from power as a broken man. The sad part is that he tried nothing as far as stopping the trials, even after he recognized they were killing good Christian people. The trials continued well into the 18th Century when Prime Minister Israel Putnam (ironically, the descendant of Thomas Putnam) declared spectral evidence illegal.

2. President George B. McClellan (1826-1885) - General during the Civil War (1857-1861) he was elected President under the Democratic Party in 1864. Trading disputes with Japan rose up in 1866. President McClellan sent troops over to the island to "protect" American interests. McClellan's only good contribution to the war effort was that he struck a deal with the Cheyenne, Lakota, and Arapaho Indians, giving them their own autonomous territory in upper Nebraska in exchange for military service. Some 12,000 Natives joined the US Army and were sent to Japan. The warrior's primary purpose was to serve as Shock Troopers, breaking Japanese lines before American Regulars could finish the Battle. A hero to the Indians, McClellan proved no better a President as he did a General, he ended up losing countless battles to the Japanese shoguns before issuing a Scorched Earth Policy in Japan. Thousands of Japanese civilians died as Americans ravaged the countryside and went into the cities. In the election of 1868, McClellan was ousted from office by Republican Ulysses S. Grant, "He can get the war done!" Grant finished the war and installed Meiji as Emperor of the Japanese Empire, though one covered in ashes. McClellan was forever remembered as a President who simply lacked any ability whatsoever.


1. President John Wilkes Booth (1838-1885) - Who would've guessed that a popular actor of the 19h Century could've caused so much death and destruction? He started his career when President Douglas invaded Mexico in 1862, awarded him the Medal of Honor to celebrate Independence Day 1863, and then went on to write politically charged plays. 1868, he was elected Governor of Maryland, and then became Senator later. All the time he proclaimed there was a "Northern conspiracy" against the south, he was the one perpetuating a Southern conspiracy to start a Civil War. 1879, his conspiracy went full force, assassinating President Charles Adams and bringing the southern states together from Maryland to Coahuila. He declared himself President of the Confederate States of America, reinstituted slavery after President Douglas issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, and decided to switch his policy to genocide after he realized the problem with black guerrillas roaming the countryside. Too bad he killed himself at the end, I would've liked to have seen President Hancock get a hold of him and hand him over to Booker Washington.
