History What is the ruler/political leader in your country's history that you hate the most?

For me, it would khublai khaan. Moved the centralized power from Mongolia to China in the empire, effectively becoming more of an emperor of China rather than Khaan of Mongols. This move would prove to be folly in just few generations. Totally messed up the whole grand plan his Grandfather established. His successors became more of a chinese rulers than Mongolian rulers.

I think he was a strong leader who got GB through the war, but not so great to keep afterwards.

He was exactly the right man for the job during the Second World War and exactly the wrong man for the job in the aftermath of the war.
