I'm curious as to who you all consider to be the most important people in the history of your country and/or your people. They can be important on a global level, important in a positive or negative sense, important in terms of their contribution towards creating the country/people you know today, or any other way you wish. Please share a list, as many as you like!

For me...

1. Ban Kulin (First leader)
2. King Tvrtko Kotromanic (Most powerful King)
3. Queen Katarina Velika (Last Queen)
4. Isa-bey Iskakovic (Founder, Sarajevo, etc.)
5. Gazi Husref-bey (Consolidated all of Bosnian Kingdom into Ottoman Bosnia)
6. Husein-kapetan Gradascevic (Uprising against Ottomans, leader)
7. Sevala (She-valla) Zildzic-Iblizovic (Bosnia's women's rights, suffragette, etc.)
8. Savfet-bey Basagic (Leader of Bosnian Renaissance)
9. Ajsa (Eye-shah) Mustabegovic (First Bosniak woman to burn the burqha, women's rights, suffragette, poet, artist, etc.)
10. Isaak Samokovlija (Jewish writer, poet, symbol of tremendous Jewish... contribution, blessing... to Bosnia)

The most important people are always unknown or badly known. Famous people are just superstars for others in the shadows to manage.

Andrew Jackson- General at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. Became President in the 1824(or 1828) election, and was very popular.

Thomas Jefferson- Writer of the Declaration of Independence, and founded the belief of speration of Church from State. Our third President that made the Loiusiana Purchase.

Alexander Hamilton- Son of a failed Scottish merchant in the West Indies, life did not look so well for Alexander. However, he became a great economist, founded our national bank. One of the elite federalists.

James Polk- Though I despise him, he won the Mexican-American War and pushed our boundary with Canada.

Not only were the Huns a proto-Turkic tribe (and therefore Attila was), but Turks and Turkey along side Hungary are the only people/nation to exhonorate him and see him as a national figure.  In fact, Turks have the sole claim because modern Hungarians are actually descendants of Arpad's tribe that migrated from Eurasia through the Carpathians not from the Huns.

Also the Chinese called Huns ''Tu-Kiu'' (Turk) as well as ''Xiong-Nu'' (Hun)

my country is a new country but our history is part of the Arabian/islamic history.

for Arabic Hisotry the most important person will be for sure Prophet Mohammed then his first companions then the good Caliphs after them.

 

 for UAE it would be our late first president and Founder of the union Sheikh Zayed and Co-founder of the Union the late sheikh Rashid ruler of Dubai and many people who participated in the development of UAE in its first days.
