Merkel or Thatcher, who is greater?

Chancellor Merkel and Prime Minister Thatcher, who has a higher historical status?

Today, German Chancellor Angela Merkel officially concluded her term as Chancellor of Germany in 2005 and is the first female Chancellor in the country's history. He served as head of government in Germany for 16 years and can be called an evergreen tree in politics. During this period, many major events were experienced, and its influence was obvious to all in the world.

British Prime Minister Thatcher, the famous "Iron Lady", led the Conservative Party to regain power in 1979 and launched the Conservative Party for 18 years. His leader, the Conservative Party, won three elections in 1979, 1983 and 1987. His resignation was announced in 1990.

There are many similarities between the two:

One is to become the first female national leader in the history of Britain and Germany; the second is to serve a long term, Merkel's term is 16 years, while Thatcher has been in power for 18 years; the third is the outstanding political performance during the administration.

However, I personally feel that because of the Falklands War, Margaret Thatcher has added a lot of color to the long river of history! Perhaps only Mrs. Meir of Israel can match it!
