There's no denying that Caesar was an excellent general but Genghis Khan was such an accomplished general that he managed to conquer all of China and controlled Subotai the only general to ever successfully conquer all of Russia.

Same with Julius Caesar
I think it's quite well-established that Julius Caesar existed...I dunno Caesar was a very accomplished General.rockerbikieWho succumbed to a sharpened stick. Details at eleven.
Sun Tzu. Many of his teachings are still important and still widely used today. Even in business. Julius Caesar, not so much. But you can't pick two great people and say who would win. It all depends on details, their armies, the lay out of the land, their knowledge of the land, etc.Jaguar_ShadeDivide and conquer?
Divide and conquer? All part of the Tzusinator's master plan.[QUOTE="Jaguar_Shade"]Sun Tzu. Many of his teachings are still important and still widely used today. Even in business.

Chinese armies of that period would have been able to turn Roman armies into confetti, so Tzu'd obviously win.

Actually the principle of discpline in armies was based of Caesar.

Actually the principle of discpline in armies was based of Caesar.rockerbikieNo, it came from Asia. Cuz they used to rack a disciprin until they began an overhaul of the military. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9RCpXMiLTA
Caesar's military career completely outshines Tzu's. Tzu's claim to fame is a book, and even fact has been called into question. limpbizkit818True. It still doesn't take away from the lessons of the book, but yes, you're right. Not to mention that Julius Caesar is my favorite general. Hell, the Roman Empire is my favorite empire ever.
Since I know very little about the tactics and strategies of either individual (I read the Art of War a long time ago, but remember very little), then it is really impossible to say who would actually win if they were contemporary individuals. Considering Sun Tzu supposedly existed almost 500 years before Caesar, I'm going to have to say this is an impossible hypothetical, since militaristic technological means were neither similar between those periods or in those areas of the world.
Asian soldiers were generally more skilled and disciplined. Their tactics were superior to Romans in many of their battles. While Romans had sophisticated formations, the Asians did more than just Arrow Barrage --> Light Infantry charge --> Cavalry charge in skirmishes. Adam_the_Nerd
Your ignorance is astounding.

I'll be more polite about it than the other guy: Where are you getting this information?
