Kamehameha and George Washington
There are many great world leaders that made impacts in the world. Two examples are Kamehameha and George Washington. Kamehameha The Great was the first man to unify and rule the Hawaiian Islands. He became king and caused many great cultural changes, although he was not next in line to become one. While he strictly enforced the kapu system, he created the law of Mamalahoe. This law punished murder and robbery (Potter, Kasdon, Rayson 12). George washington was a commander in chief during the American Revolutionary War and the first United State’s president (History.com). He changed the way future presidents approached the position. In 1752, Washington started his military experience, which helped him to become a whig leader (www.let.rug.nl). He also achieved the goal of winning the war for independence by developing an organization with an organizational culture and saved the army and the revolutionary cause at the battle in Trenton (gwpapers.virginia.edu). King Kamehameha and George Washington were both very effective leaders and made a big impact in the world.
Kamehameha and George Washington were both effective leaders because they were intelligent and trustworthy. Kamehameha kept the restless chiefs near his court. He did this to keep an eye on them and be aware when they’re acting sneaky. Although, Washington didn’t have much experience in maneuvering large formations of infantry, commanding cavalry or artillery, or maintaining the flow
This was one of Napoléon’s biggest strengths. He prioritized speed and concentrated his forces on sections of the enemies’ forces. His favorite tactic was called the manoeuvre sur les derrières; one group tried to keep the enemy where they were while another French force attacked the enemy from the rear. This cut off any escape and threatened the enemies’ line of communications. While Napoléon excelled in strategy and tactics, this was an area where George Washington was about average. While Washington is not known for being a great strategist, he was usually able to keep his men from being captured in battle. Excelling in tactics is another example of how Napoléon was a better military leader than

They would create a lasting effect in not only their countries but also the world as well.
Kamehameha was an amazing leader for many reasons for example Kamehameha was the first person to unify all hawaiian islands which led to peace on all the aforementioned hawaiian islands, he won many wars to not only take over land but also ensure the protection of his people and more. Kamehameha was so destined for greatness that before he was even born there were rumored legends of a child born from the eye of the tiger shark will cause the blood of chiefs to run throughout the streams over all land, And Kamehameha’s mother while in her pregnancy was craving tiger shark’s eye. At a young age Kamehameha became the guardian of Kukailimoku the war god. Even in the later on in his life he helped in the farms that usually only the commoners would do. Overall Kamehameha was an effective leader because he took initiative and had a growth mindset.
King Kamehameha was the first person to unite the islands of Hawaii and made a government to keep the islands under control. Kamehameha came to power at a ceremony for the successor of Kalaniopuu, he was supposed to be a keeper of the war god Ku, but instead he took Kiwalao’s place as the next ali’i nui. He conquered the other Ali’i on all islands but Kauai, Kamehameha had an agreement with Kaumualii and became the king of all the islands but Kaumualii will still have all the rights on Kauai. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the USA during the gruesome Civil War during 1861 to 1865 (Britannica.com). Lincoln was a benevolent president that believed in equality and human rights. He was also a very significant opponent of slavery, he believed that every human should have equal rights and have freedom. King Kamehameha and President Lincoln are both effective leaders because they are both intelligent, determined, and responsible.
When the year of 1807 came around, the way that America elected a president changed. In previous elections, only the rich men were able to vote which as a result whoever promised more the wealth was elected for president. When the common man was able to vote in 1807, the type of candidate to win the election change. As seen in the election of 1828 the person who was more relatable to the people, won because the common man was able to vote and so they used that opportunity and elected whoever they thought was going to help them. Overall the people preferred Jackson over Adams because Jackson was able to relate to the people better, and because he was a symbol of the American dream.
Kamehameha and George Washington were both effective and successful leaders because they both protected their people from rash punishments, struggled to maintain neutrality, and was careful in who they trusted to work with. If Washington and Kamehameha lacked these qualities, their effectiveness would be more questionable. Kamehameha and Washington could have been in war for a very lengthy amount of time had they not pursued neutrality; consequently resulting in many unnecessary deaths and recession. If Kamehameha and Washington was incautious about who they worked with, someone may have betrayed them. As a result, the Hawaii Islands might not be united anymore, or the US might not be independent from other countries. Therefore, Kamehameha

Throughout history, there have been great leaders, some for the good of humanity, and some for the not-so good of humanity. The one element all leaders have in common is in some way, have changed the course of history. The one great leader I have found to be interesting and envision of a great leader is William Bradford, an original passenger on the Mayflower, and the first ever governor elected on what is to become, American Soil.
Leadership is a trait that few people possess, but many are influenced by its powerful qualities. Leadership has been described by most accounts as the ability to unite a group under one common goal or task. This crucial quality is necessary in order to be remembered by many people. It is necessary when people around you need guidance, or a sense of direction. When people need guidance, they look to figures of power or authority, to ultimately lead them in the right direction. Many years later, that person, who had leaded others, will be revered. This reverence, or legacy that they leave behind, will make them a hero. People who possessed great leadership throughout history left a huge legacy behind with them. Ben Franklin, a radical during the 18th century for revolution, was a wealthy man of Pennsylvania who possessed great leadership throughout the course of his life. The stand out quality he possessed, his great knowledge, enabled him to lead great numbers of people in their interests. This quality made him looked up upon as a revolutionary by all of the United States, and people were willing to unite behind Franklin due to his self-made image. Years after Franklin had passed, people still remembered and celebrated his legacy every day in the names of warships, towns, and buildings. Benjamin Franklin was a leading revolutionary all of his life due to his educated background and
There is no global leader that has affected my view of the world, but one has absolutely influenced how I would formulate a view of the world, and then act upon it; that someone is Richard Holbrooke. The way he handled the civil war in the former-Yugoslavia should serve as an example to how every diplomat should deal with any challenge facing the United States.
George Washington, also know as “The Father of America” was the first president of America and established the United States. Washington was introduced to the military and law at a young age and showed signs of leadership early on. He also inherited Mount Vernon after his brother died and later on went to join the military. Washington started off as an assistant officer, but worked his way up to commander of all Virginia militia forces. That later led him to start his political career and then unite America as one (Encyclopedia Britannica). Kamehameha was also introduced to warfare and the kapu system at a young age. He was adopted by Kalani’opu’u and then was trained by Kekuhaupio to be a skilled warrior. After Kalani’opu’u died Kamehameha was in possession of Kalani’opu’u’s war god and now knew essential war tactics and strategies. Soon after, Kamehameha started his journey to unite the Hawaiian islands. Eventually, Kamehameha and Washington both created kingdoms/nations that were great and memorable. This shows that they were both very effective leaders.
