Military leaders A-Z

Can you name these military leaders whose names start with each letter of the alphabet?
It is suprisingly hard to find a reknown military leader whose name starts with U or Q, so don't feel too bad if you've never heard of them.
It is even harder to find such man whose name starts with I. But there is one guy whose actual name starts with K and is followed by a patronym ("ibn-..."). So that's close enough.

Good idea but surely we should have Yamamoto for Y.

I see your point. Nevertheless, Yi Sunsin seems to be one of the greatest military leaders ever (or at least one of the greatest naval commanders) and he seems to be a really big thing in the East. Yup, Yamamoto is probably more recognizable in the West (as he has fought the West) and it is a reasonable motivation to include him instead. Still, I really did not want to drop Yi, as he surely deserves to be included ;)
