  3. I think I only know only one there, cause he is the most famous in my country, that is King number 5 cause he did lots of thing that changed my country a lot, one thing that everyone know, this is he the first people that get the train to my country i think that he got that from U.S.A. that is a whole lots different for the transportation, and he did lots more but the thing that important and i can remember is take over and no more slave in that time cause i think that is the most fare for those proples, that they did not have to be slave no more and if he did not do that we all would be slave. I have no idea which time period did he live, it was very longgg times ago that i just cant remember.

  4. We have many popular historian people in Korea, but the best person is King Sejong. He made Hangul, Korean alphabet. Before he made our own letter, we used Chinese letter and most people didn’t think we needed to change. But King Sejong thought it’s very important for make our own letter so he did it. It was very epochal invent, and Korean would be the best scientific letter. And second, we have very wonderful inventor, Young-Sill Jang, he made very epochal invent, too. Like water clock, sundial, rain gauge…etc. He was the best inventor in Korea’s history. And last person is Bo-Go-Jang, he was the Prince of marine because he made Korea’s trade which used waterway. And also that time Korea didn’t have much power, so other countries like barbarians usually plundered Korea’s seashore districts, and Bo-Go Jang defeated them and protected seashore districts. He was the first person of made activitation trade. So these three people are made a big differences in Korea’s history, I think.

  12. I’m from Russia.Russia is the country with thousand years history.Endless wars,thousand different events,a lot of famous people who created the Russia’s history.Endless amount of the writers,leaders,kings,Revolutions and Creations.I chose from this very big amount of the famous people who created of the history of Russia three persons:Peter First(Russian Tsar),Leo Tolstoj(outstanding Russian writer) and Iosif Stalin( Russian political Leader).For example we take Russian Tsar Peter First(or Peter the Great).He ruled from1689to 1725.One of Peter’s major goals was to modernize Russia as quickly as possible.Peter built new capital(St. Petersburg),began a vigorous program of reforming,reorganized the central government,a new military and civil service,developed industry and trade.Old Muscovy had been transformed into the Russian Empire. Other famous person in the history of Russia is Leo Tolstoi.He created outstanding novels and story books about the different periods of Russia’s life.The novel”War and Peace” is most famous.In this novel Tolstoj described very impotant time in the destiny of Russia:Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia in 1812. Third famous and sad known political leader is Iosif Stalin.This man was Dictator and ruled by terror,cruelly enforcing industrialization,many thousand were arrested,imprisoned,exiled to slave labor camps,or executed.Stalin was died in 1953. So you can see that the historuy of Russia is very expressive and dramatic If you want I can describe a lot of other Russian Historians and you will have the opportunities to introduce with dramatic and long Russia’s history.

  13. There are many famous histonians in China. I always think Emperor Qin is a most famous one in our five-thousand history. He united a great China first. He did great job that is the language and letters were united forever. No doult, an united language and letters are the fundation of a stable country. Since then, China had been a whole big country, and never been separated by foreign force.
    Chairman Mao is a second famous person. He led chinese won in civil war, and P. R. China was established on Oct. 1, 1949.

  18. I think that historians make the future more clear to us.
    They find new places and have made our lifes so much better.
    They have chosen places for us to stay and to be a part of…

    If you think to your self what would life be like without history there would be nothing. Nothing you did would matter because no one would remember you.
    If you have a scrap book…..use it to give to your children…then they give it to there children and then there children will give it to there children…
    then you will be remembered for as long as you want to be…
