Best Answer

Yes, the Duke of Cumberland was a far better leader than BPC. He trained his men well, enough to withstand the terrifying highland charge, while BPC was unexperienced, disagreed with his highland chiefs and led his men on an all night march to try and surprise the Hanoverians, which failed and the Jacobites had to turn back, the night before the battle, and were tired, hungry & cold. Furthermore, BPC let his men be fired upon for 10-30 minutes, letting them stand still in the face of cannon fire, before ordering them to charge across a boggy landscape. He even fled Culloden when he saw the battle was going badly. So, yes, whilst I prefered the Jacobites, BPC was a very poor leader.

Was Gandhi a better leader than Stalin?

Both Gandhi and Stalin were influential leaders in their own right, but their leadership styles were vastly different. Gandhi is often remembered for his nonviolent approach to achieving social and political change, while Stalin was known for his authoritarian rule and the use of violence to maintain power. Ultimately, the determination of who was a better leader is subjective and dependent on individual perspectives.
