Hmm, great leaders through history, let's see.
  1. Alexander the Great
  2. Gaius Marius
  3. Augustus
  4. Charles Martel
  5. Charlemagne
  6. Genghis Khan
  7. Jogaila, I think
  8. Charles V
  9. Maurice of Orange
  10. Gustav Adolphus
  11. Oliver Cromwell
  12. Louis XIV (Maybe, a lot of what happened during his reign is directly or indirectly responsible for the French Revolution)
  13. Frederick the Great
  14. Napoleon
  15. Bismarck
These are the ones I can think of, I'm probably forgetting quite a few important ones. Also disregarded military-only leaders, though I would consider quite a few of those as great leaders.

By the end of the 19th century it becomes hard to find leaders who would go into this list; though there were good leaders, things became way more decentralized.
