It's completely illogical. If the Franks are the French ancestors (with the Gaulish, which remains the most part) and not the current German ancestors of course you count them as French.

They were german yes, because french have german blood, you're confusing Germany from this time and the current country that has been called Germany (it's the same word in english) since the late 19th century.

With your logic, england history would be germans history, since they are even more german, even if the current germans in germany aren't their descendants at all. And what to say about the Austrian. Well.

I have to confess that I’m French but I will try to be objective (though it will still be my opinion), in PURE TACTICIAN CONSIDERATION (=/= not especially best leaders) I’d say:

1. Hannibal of Carthage.

Yeah he lost, but it doesn’t matter, victory isn’t only skills but context and chance as well. Somes of his tactics are still studied theses days by military schools, and his victories was purely genius.

2. Napoleon Bonaparte.

Charlemagne conquered a biggest part of europe (and was the father of western europe/Carolingian renaissance) but I don’t think it’s comparable, what you should remember is that Napoleon has fought all major powers of is time (!), when europe was by far the most disputed ground in the world, meter by meter. The Napoleonic wars was a world war, for me it’s obvious.

Although the defeat against Russia wasn’t against its army but its winter, tactically Napoleon disgraced himself with this campaign I agree with that, but after that his situation was not really hopeless far from it, he make a great comeback and it’s the battles (well, above all THE battle) after that that finish him.

3. Julius Caesar.

I can’t really add many things after what Mrhamburger said, not only an incredible tactician but also a charismatic leader.

4. Irwin Rommel.

5. Alexander the Great.

6. Isoroku Yamamoto, a Japanese commander in WW2. He was the commander-in-chief during the decisive early years of the Pacific War and so was responsible for major battles such as Pearl Harbor and Midway. A very clever guy.

7. Chandragupta of India.

He brought down the Nanda Dynasty of Maghadha, and drove out the Greeks. He expanded the Mauryan dominion into Persia and Central Asia within one generation.

8. Cortez.

I didn’t put him in the list but Charles Martel did very well too against the muslims I have to agree (one of the six great leaders in french history IMO, with Vercingetorix, Charles de Gaulle, and above all Charlemagne, Louis XIV (the best in general i think) and Napoleon).

On the other hand I don’t see Gengis Khan (which haven’t extended his empire at its maximum alive, his sons did it) really like a tactician but more like a great leader. And I respect Sun Tzu but I can’t compare a guy who haven’t accomplish a single real battle.

Of course, I forgot many others, or I don’t know them.
