Re: Enemy Commanders: Britain’s Greatest Foes Well..Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is one of the people responsible for the spreading of and unification of power that Muslims have today. So i can understand that, however id probably vote Michael Collins, considering how Ireland is still a boiling shit hole of arguments nearly a hundred years after his death. |
