100 Greatest Generals in History

Follow
Cottereau

This video shows the 100 generals that have won the most battles in history (according to Wikipedia).
To make that video, I created a query that searches every battle article in Wikipedia and identifies the general that won the battle.

List of battles won by general: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X...

Methodology:
1. I created a query with Wikidata Query to get the list of all articles tagged as "battle" by Wikipedia. This gives me about 12,000 battles
2. I downloaded the data that is included in the top right hand table of every of those Wikipedia article. I did it for the following versions of Wikipedia: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Turkish, SerboCroatian, Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, Slovakian, Dutch, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Hindi, Hebrew, Basque, Bulgarian, Romanian, Catalan, Finnish, Swedish, Vietnamese, Persian, Indonesian, Korean
3. I cleaned up the data on Excel to remove double entries
