I totally see where you’re coming from. There are so many things that go into building a new nation such as some of the things that you mentioned but I would also like to add that I believe that all these factors can alter the way that we view the leader at that time. I think when looking back on history, we like to decide whether someone was a good or bad person rather than a good or bad leader. I think we look back and say that they chose to do form the country under their rule in a certain way because they are inherently good or inherently bad but I believe that it’s a lot more complicated than that. Like you said there are an incredible number of factors that go into forming a new nation and a leader may thing that they’re making a good decision at the time and it could end up costing the country dearly. Additionally, leaders make their decisions from their own experiences and the advice of others and with humans there is generally some sort of bias which influences their decision.
