6 Unique History of World Leaders

1. Kubilai Khan:

Of course you all know by Kublai Khan. Yup, the Mongol emperor who was very cruel and expansive, this turned out to have a very high tolerance side. Believe it not, Kublai Khan is a prominent leader of the world's first to declare that the great days of Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam serve as the official state holiday. Just so you know, Kublai Khan was a grandson of Genghis Khan who is legendary in power stretching from the borders of Europe, the Middle East, until almost all of East Asia in the 13th century. In other words, the official state holiday on a day of religion in the world is allowing to be done by Kublai Khan as the breadth of his domain.
2. Galileo Galilei:
He's a man who is less fortunate in his life. Even after death, though, Galileo still having trouble. After his scientific views about the solar system to make him deal with the church, his death was dogged by problems. Time of his death in 1642, his body was not immediately buried, but still kept up in 1737, about almost a century. Not enough, before buried in the Church of Santa Croce, Florence, Italy, a noble heart to cut off three fingers of Galileo as a memento. Two of the finger was then owned by an Italian doctor, and the third finger, middle finger-piece is currently at the Museum of the History of Science in Florence, Italy, on display pointing to the sky on top of a marble column.

3. Abraham Lincoln:
Who is he? In 1831 he went bankrupt in his business. In 1832 he suffered a defeat in local elections. In 1833 he again went bankrupt (yes really kasian ..). In 1835 his wife died. In 1836 he suffered severe mental distress and about to enter a mental hospital. In 1837, he lost in a speech contest. In 1840, he failed in the U.S. senate elections. In 1842, he suffered a defeat to sit in the U.S. Congress. In 1848 he lost again in Congress. 1855, once again failed in the Senate. In 1856 he lost the election to occupy the vice presidency. In 1858 he was again defeated in the Senate. In 1860 he finally became president of the United States. Who is he? He was Abraham Lincoln. The point is to never give up with a variety of failures that have been experienced, even irrespective of how the ordeal. Try and try again!

4. Johannes Brahms:
If anyone says that one who deals in fine art have feelings, then try to read the following facts. Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), the great German composer, was one who hates animals. At the time relaxing or looking for inspiration, composers often went to the attic his house and preparing a bow and arrow. There almost every time he was shooting at his neighbor's cats. These bad habits continue to do until the rest of his life!


5. Napoleon Bonaparte:
Napoleon Bonaparte, while fighting in the Middle East in 1799 intends to release the 1200 Turkish soldiers who had captured the French, when the French managed to seize Jaffa. At that time Napoleon was stricken with influenza. When inspecting the troops, Napoleon severe coughing until he told Ma sacre toux (damn cough). Napoleon escort officer said the general feeling Massacrez Tous (Kill all). As a result, all 1200 Turkish prisoners were killed. Only because of cough and ear of the general officers that error!
6. Wilhelm Steinitz:
In its heyday, Wilhelm Steinitz was one of the most brilliant chess player in the world. But while the older, he slowly plagued by madness, and often feels that he can call someone without using the phone, or play chess without the pieces touching. The peak of madness occurs when Steinitz announced to the public that he wanted to challenge God to play chess. Worse yet, it offers fur a pawn in this game!
