I won’t argue with MeatballDom, but do consider carefully the effect of the end of the Ottoman empire on those who had been top dogs (ie: the Arabs of the area the Ottomans called ‘Palestine’)
In the 1920s the formerly colonised occupants (Bedouin, Maronites,Druze, Jews, Kurds etc) were happy the tables had turned. In a world where colonialism is being reevaluated, today’s “Palestinians” can be viewed as the last remnants of the Ottoman imperialists.
As such, the Arab side of the conflict can be seen as a reactionary attempt to restore things to the ‘good old days’. The Israeli side of the conflict is really complex now, as it is not just a Jewish survival thing. It is a multitude of ethnic and political groupings and is too complex/controversial to comment on here.

It would probably be Albert I of Belgium in World War 1, though you might have to define "lead," since that can mean either directly acting as general, fighting alongside the troops as moral support, or just being in the same room as some generals when a decision is made.

In their world, magic worked, and worked well...no fighter would DREAM of going into battle without at least a few charms and spells to bring victory.

Estevan was most definitely a Christian/catholic convert before arriving in the New World.
