Title. As for me, Mannerheim is an absolute military Chad. Imagine that your country has a population of 3 million, and your enemy has 170 million people, and you still survive as an independent nation.

Besides the obvious ones like Napoleon, Julius Caesar, and Alexander the Great I have great respect for Frederick the Great
Frederick 2 the Great, aka old Fritz, was a strong monarch and made Prussia great. He also increased the territory of Prussia by more than two times.

Good choices
Napoleon, Emperor of the French, for his tactical genius and Alexander the Great for his adaptability and his tactical genius as well
Irony is that he was Italian
Douglas MacArthur, he was kinda fucking crazy and wanted to nuke China I believe
Tbh, in European history it's not the first time or the last time or even in world history, the ruling elites have been foreign in many parts of the world for even a millenia or so, Egypt and Iran comes to mind, in Europe too, at least with Napoleon he was just individually from Corsica not like his entire army was but you must give credit to the man where people can't even get over accents in a foreign land, he ruled it and was adored by it's people but then he also gave France her victories
vo nguyen giap in my opinion is the most underrated. He beat the Japanese, French, USA, and Chinese with a military that started with almost nothing, and had to fight for decades straight.
The americans may have won some ground battles, but they lost the war. Especially impressive is the fact that the americans dropped more ordnance on vietnam than they did on Germany and Japan in WW2 combined, and the vietnamese were working with complete air inferiority. America had pretty much the most powerful military in history at that point, up against a bunch of jungle farmers, in a country only 10 miles wide. With constant ambushes and sabotage, Giap left a whole generation of GIs with PTSD. Plus, this was the first war televised in real time. American public opinion turned against it with the relentless guerilla warfare, and the American politicians gave up and left.
I would also give a shout out to alexander suvorov and paul emil von lettow-vorbeck. Without Paul, we wouldn't have guerrilla warfare today as we know it

Zhizhka made a military power out of bunch of rabble a very respected figure.
despite my hatred for Czechs I have to admit he was a brilliant commander
Mustafa Kemal comes second for me, he won an unwinnable war and made Turkey the only central powers faction to somehow get a better deal.

The only commander who defeated Mongols at the height of their power in XIII century - Tran Hung Dao.
Egyptian Mamluks defeated only weakened fraction of Mongol army in 1261 while he repelled two full-scale Mongol invasions against Dai Viet ( Vietnam ) at a time when many countries were simply crushed by Mongols and even Popes were sending peace missions to Mongols.

Hannibal Barca and Alexander Suvorov are my favorites. Suvorov never lost a single battle despite often fighting with complete numerical inferiority
Me in the future
Probably some random guy no one's ever heard of. All these upper class fags always take all the credit.

Mannerheim isn't appreciated enough in military history. Yamamoto also gets the short end of the stick sometimes
