User blog:TheBabylonianBerserker1337/Rap Battles of Warfare - Series Announcement

Hello everyone, i'm going for a fresh attempt at rap battle series; One about generals, and warfare. Rap Battles of Warfare. Here's to hoping it will be unique, and I will be interested enough in the writing process to finish.

This series will be rather infrequent, all I can say is that there are five battles that I am looking to do, and they will start in either June or July. I'd like to have 2-3 done by the time I start writing, but that might not pan out. Why the long wait, you might ask? Well, I have some reading to do. I am currently almost finished with the autobiography of the Generals to be used in the first battle; And have yet to read on the other figures, although that will most definitely happen soon. Anyhow, I'm making this blog so far in advance because there is an opponent I need; and I need your help.

I need to know of an authoritarian military figure (Can be any military, any time throughout history although modern history is easiest) whom ruled through tyranny/oppression/harsh means (take your pick) but was brought down by the combined forces of their former subjects, whether they be people, ideologies, tribes, militaries, whatever. Help is VERY much appreciated.

Anyhow, here are some hints for the figures I will be using in the first three battles.

Battle #1: Die Wacht am Rhein   (Additional Hint: The name of the book I am currently reading is Panzer Leader)

Battle #2: Battle Hymn of the Republic      (Best song of all time, on a side note)

Battle #3: The Sacred War

Feel free to guess at which general each is hinting at in the comments below; Although I might not confirm whether you are correct.

Anyhow, thanks for reading; I hope you'll enjoy the first installment when it rolls around this Summer.
