Napoleon Bonaparte
21 July, 1798
Trudging towards Cairo, Napoleon Bonaparte and 25,000 men battled two
forces of Egypt (21,000 men) and Ibrahim Bey (100,000).
The native forces were split by the Nile, with Murad entrenched in a village
called Embabeh and Ibrahim in the open. The massive force of irregulars
(very weak people) under Ibrahim watched the battle's progress and then
seeing the situation melted away.
Murad's force - including 40 cannon and 6000 crack Egypt horsemen - took
on Bonaparte, who was forced on to the defensive by the threat from the
riders.
The French formed themselves into squares covered by 30 guns and
determinedly beat off sustained attacks by the Egypt .
The Egyptian defenders in the village were isolated and a brutal assault
resulted in them being routed.
More than 5000 of the Egypt force were killed or wounded, while Bonaparte's
Army of the Orient lost 300 men.
The Pyramids won Lower Egypt for France, but Admiral Horatio Nelson's
victory on the Nile

Bonaparte was a great soldier, and a super

dictator and, later in his life, thought he could

Ivan the Terrible

Ruling of Russia and expantion of the boundaries of the Russian city. He was born

Maurice of orange
• (born Nov. 13, 1567, Dillenburg, Nassau — died April 23, 1625, The Hague)
Dutch general and statesman. The son of William I (he was invested in
1585 as stadtholder (chief executive) of the northern provinces of the
Netherlands. With political direction from Johan van Oldenbarnevelt,
Maurice consolidated the power of the provinces against Spain and made
them trade and shipping centres. He used military planning and siege
warfare to defeat Spanish forces in the north and east but failed to take
the southern Netherlands and was forced to conclude a truce with Spain
in 1609. His development of military strategy and tactics made the Dutch
army the most modern in Europe. In 1618 he consolidated his political
power after removing Oldenbarnevelt from office, and as prince of
Orange, count of Nassau, he became great king
Tokugawa shogunate

•
Tokugawa, also known as the Tokugawa bakufu (徳川幕府?) and the Edo bakufu (江戸幕府?), was a feudal regime of Japan established
by Tokugawa Ieyasu and ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family. This period is known as the Edo period and gets its name from
the capital city, Edo, which now is called Tokyo. The Tokugawa shogunate ruled from Edo Castle from 1603 until 1868, when it was
abolished during the Meiji Restoration.
The Tokugawa period, unlike the shogunates before it, was supposedly based on the strict class hierarchy originally established by
Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The warrior-caste of samurai were at the top, followed by farmers, artisans, and traders. The inflexible nature of
the Social stratification system unleashed disruptive forces over time. Taxes on the peasantry were set at fixed amounts which did not
account for inflation or other changes in monetary value. As a result, the tax revenues collected by the samurai landowners were worth
less and less over time. This often led to #’s confrontations between noble but impoverished samurai and well-to-do peasants, ranging
from simple local disturbances to much bigger rebellions. None, however, proved compelling enough to seriously challenge the
established order until the arrival of foreign powers.
Toward the end of the 19th century, an alliance of several of the more powerful daimyo with the titular Emperor finally succeeded in
the overthrow of the shogunate after the Boshin War, culminating in the Meiji Restoration. The Tokugawa Shogunate came to an
official end in 1868, with the resignation of the 15th Tokugawa Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu and the "restoration" of imperial rule.

(Ottoman Turkish: Sulaymān, Modern Turkish: Süleyman; almost always Kanuni Sultan Süleyman; 6
November 1494, from 1520 to his death in 1566. He is known in the West as Suleiman the Magnificent[1]
and in the East, as the Lawmaker for his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system. Suleiman
became a prominent monarch of 16th century Europe, presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire's
military, political and economic power. Suleiman personally led Ottoman armies to conquer the Christian
strongholds of Belgrade, Rhodes, and most of Hungary before his conquests were checked at the Siege of
Vienna in 1529. He annexed most of the Middle East in his conflict with the Persians and large swathes of
North Africa as far west as Algeria. Under his rule, the Ottoman fleet dominated the seas from the
Mediterranean to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.[2]

Queen Elisabeth
•
Alexander von Liezen-Mayer.
Queen Elizabeth signing the Death
Warrant of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Elizabeth was terribly handicapped by having no heirs of her body and no obvious English successor. She
could not afford to recognize Mary's claim, for that would have been to alienate the Protestants, double
the number of Catholics, and, in her own phrase, to spread a winding-sheet before her eyes; for all would
have turned to the rising sun. Mary was dangerous enough as it was, and no one would willingly make his
rival his heir. Elizabeth could hardly be expected to go out of her way and ask parliament to repeal its own
acts for Mary's sake; probably it would have refused. Nor was it personal enmity on Elizabeth's part that
brought Mary to the block. Parliament had long been ferociously demanding Mary's execution, not
because she was guilty but because she was dangerous to the public peace. She alone could have given
the Spanish Armada any real chance of success; and as the prospect of invasion loomed larger on the
horizon, fiercer grew the popular determination to remove the only possible centre of a domestic rising,
without which the external attack was bound to be a failure. Elizabeth resisted the demand, not from
compassion or qualms of conscience, but because she dreaded the responsibility for Mary's death. She
wished Paulet would manage the business on his own account, and when at last her signature was
extorted she made a scapegoat of her secretary Davison who had the warrant executed.

Isabella I of Castile
She is the queen of Spain. [edit] Expulsion of the Jews and Muslims
With the institution of the Roman Catholic Inquisition in Spain, and with the
Dominican friar Tomás de Torquemada as the first Inquisitor General, the
Catholic Monarchs pursued a policy of religious unity. Though Isabella
opposed taking harsh measures against Jews on economic grounds,
Torquemada was able to convince Ferdinand. On 31 March 1492, the
Alhambra Decree for the expulsion of the Jews was issued (See main article
on Inquisition). Approximately 200,000 left Spain. Others converted, but often
came under scrutiny by the Inquisition investigating relapsed conversos
(Marranos) and the Judaizers who had been abetting them. The Muslims of
the newly conquered Granada had been initially granted religious freedom,
but pressure to convert increased, and after some revolts, a policy of forced
expulsion or conversion was also instituted in 1502 (see Moriscos). One
Converso who didn't suffer from the effects of the Inquisition was Luis de
Santángel, including his family; he was the financial minister of the King and
Queen, and was of great help when it came to the discovery of the New World
