And sometimes history presents us with not just evil people, but ruthless, brutal individuals who are in a position of leadership and control. The people on this list are among the most controversial in the world’s history. These are the 5 most violent world leaders ever. 5. Vlad The ImpalerKnown for his penchant for blood, Dracula has been the subject of countless movies, books, stories and more. First mentioned in author Bram Stoker's novel in 1897, this fictional figure is actually based on a terrifying prince who also loved the sight of blood. Vlad III and later known as Vlad the Impaler was the Prince of Wallachia. Born in 1431 in Transylvania, he was the son of Vlad Dracul, then ruler of Wallachia. When he was 11, Vlad III was held as a political prisoner before eventually being released years later. 4. Genghis KhanBorn as Temujin in 1162, he would later be known as the ferocious Genghis Khan – leader of one of the most successful armies and empires that ever existed.Khan was born to violent times. His father kidnapped his mother and forced her into marriage. Before turning 10, his dad was killed and poisoned by his own clan and Khan, along with his mother and siblings, were left abandoned by the clan so they didn't have to feed them. Soon after this he killed his older half-brother to become the head of their household. 3. Attila the HunBranding himself as the Scourge of God, Attila the Hun was born in Hungary around 406. He became a feared name during the 5th century when he led the Hunnic Empire to devastate the lands of the Black Sea and several key areas of the late Roman Empire. When he and his brother first succeeded the rule of the Hunnic Empire, they offered a peace treaty with the Romans, initially asking for 700 pounds of gold coins paid per year. 2. Joseph StalinBorn and raised in poverty, Joseph Stalin rose to prominence to become one of the most brutal tyrants the world has ever known. As he grew older, he found himself partial towards the idea of communism, being heavily influenced by Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto." Over time, he joined the Bolshevik Party, headed by Vladimir Lenin. When the Bolsheviks gained control of Soviet Russia, Stalin served in various key positions within the government, making friends and steadily rising to prominence. 1. Adolf HitlerBorn on April 20, 1889 in a small Austrian town, Hitler initially had three siblings who all died during infancy. While growing up, he continuously had violent arguments with his father, Alois, who was a domineering and strong-willed figure in his life. Hitler's dream was to be an artist but his dad disapproved and sent him to another school instead . But soon after his father died, he dropped out and After leaving school, he headed to Vienna to find his own way. Those were the 5 MOST VIOLENT WORLD LEADERS EVERBrutality knows no bounds. And just as these rulers have proven, it can be the most horrifying when leaders make no distinction between one human life and another.Support the show
