Then I (John) saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals ..
and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder . . . come
I looked .. and behold .. a white horse .. and he who sat on it had a bow .. and a crown was given to him ..
and he went out conquering and to conquer

Sounds like Ghengis Khan and the Mongols to me... or possibly Atilla and the Huns. Both were mounted archers. No one goes to war on horseback with archery tackle any more.
Neither brought "world peace", however, because "world peace" is not possible as long as there is a world to fight in, and two people with sticks left in it.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
