	General - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some European and Commonwealth nations, the equivalent to Brigadier General is Brigadier, which is not considered by these armies to be a general officer rank, although it is generally considered to be equivalent to the rank of Brigadier General for comparative purposes.
		Grades of general are also not necessarily equal in all countries (for instance, in some countries Major General is the lowest general officer rank and may well be closer to Brigadier General in countries that have them).
		General may be a rank on its own, or can be used as a generic term for "general officers".

	Lieutenant General - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rank traces its origins to the Middle Ages where the title of Lieutenant General was held by the second in command on the battlefield, normally subordinate to a Captain General.
		The oddity in precedence, where a Lieutenant General outranks a Major General whereas a Major would normally outrank a Lieutenant, is caused by the rank of Major General previously having been known as Sergeant Major General, which was in turn subordinate to Lieutenant General.
		Lieutenant General is a military rank used in almost every country in the world.

	Naval traditions: Names of ranks
		General Washington was the first to wear three stars when he became the nation's first Lieutenant General in 1798.
