Who can succeed me as generalissimo?
Generalissimo received generally positive reviews.
What added incomparably to his prestige, was that his earth-shaking qualities as a generalissimo were combined with the most distinctive cast of virtues.
However, a number of nations have used or proposed ranks such as "generalissimo" which are senior to their five-star equivalent ranks.
For a fairly long time, a shgun (formally the imperial generalissimo, but made hereditary) or regent wielded actual political power.
The military government consisted of a generalissimo and three field marshals.
The modern rank of shgun is equivalent to a generalissimo.
In our case, therefore, the identity and the very nationality of a generalissimo would have had to have been a deliberate creation and not a natural development.
