Another interesting bit of information.

It's called the Great Man Theory.

The Great man theory is a philosophical theory that aims to explain history by the impact of "Great men", or heroes: highly influential individuals who, due to either their personal charisma, intelligence and wisdom or Machiavellianism, used power in a way that had a decisive historical impact.

Obviously I don't believe in it at all. How can you say that history is all based on the actions and decisions of one single individual? While I'd agree that some people are more influential when it comes to the course of history, it is ultimately the many people or events around that one 'great man' that led to the actions that he would take. The Domino Effect to say the least.

On that note. Here's a really cool domino effect video. With no real dominos used.
