Born in 1904, ambassador to the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Was a writer and a political scientist if we keep out the diplomat profession, he played a pivotal role for the Western containment of the Soviet Union with his writings. Considered one of "The Whise Men"

- A very controversial figure in History. This was linked to his role as leader of his country, especially during a major war that reshaped Earth.
- He is certainly a key player in the ultimate end to the major war his country had overall lost. However, there exists evidence that suggests he MAY have also prolonged the conflict.
- During his reign, his country's entertainment sector was more "carefree" compared to what it is today. Some of entertainment put out then for children is rate as "mature works" today. (If you watch & compare entertainment works between the two eras, you'll see the difference).
- He had more foreign honours than national orders and he even received appointment in a foreign military, even if it was honorary.

Nope. - He had duodenal cancer and suffered from continuous internal bleeding. This was the cause of his death. - He was survived by his wife, his five surviving children, ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild. - His power and position post-war (the great war mentioned above) was altered by the country that occupied his. Conspiracy theorists also believe said occupier used propaganda & media to clear him of links to many war crimes be these links direct, indirect or trumped up. - His country's constitution was amended as a result of what the said occupying nation pressured his nation to do. |

Emperor Hirohito?

Yes! Your turn. Emperor Hirohito is a controversial figure. Some believe him to be a war criminal because he was linked to various Japanese military war crimes during WW2, be it direct or indirect. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the USA, which occupied Japan post-WW2, white-washed Hirohito of his various links to war crimes committed by the Japanese military. Some of his personal info is found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirohito?wprov=sfla1Japanese media of his era (the Showa Era) tend to be more lenient on gore than today. You can see this from the monster movies of that era and television shows like Ultraman where occasionally, there is MILD mutilation. The minor gore shown is usually relevant to the plot or part of a funny moment, which was probably why the law was more relaxed. His grandfather was Emperor Meiji. During his reign, the Meiji restoration changed & modernized Japan. His is definitely a key player to the ultimate end to WW2 because his speech & declaration of unconditional surrender led to the end of the war entirely and in Asia-Pacific. "Konoe advised Hirohito to begin negotiations to end the war. According to Grand Chamberlain Hisanori Fujita, the Emperor, still looking for a tennozan (a great victory) in order to provide a stronger bargaining position, firmly rejected Konoe's recommendation." shows how Emperor Hirohito MAY have delayed the surrender. |

Ok, here goes.
-Born on April 25, 1767, this man served with distinction in the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.
-Being wounded at least 37 times in his life, he was notoriously reckless with his own personal safety and ended up as the most wounded marshal of the first French empire.
-As général de division and serving alongside Massena, he famously personally captured an Austrian battery position guarding the Mincio passage in December 1800 and subsequently added one of the cannons to his personal collection.
- In 1805 he was given command of the grenadier réunis-an elite group of soldiers which would later be renamed after him.
