How is Napoleon Italian, when Italy the nation didn’t exist at the time, and sovereignty over Corsica was officially exercised by the French?
And Corsican is its own thing, and what he was
The most famous Argentinian was possibly Uruguayan.
Messi’s from Uruguay??
Carlos Gardel, the musician.
The most famous German was Austrian
The most famous Greek is Macedonian /runs
Pardon my ignorance but who is the middle one?
Kublai Khan, maybe?
He doesn’t seem to have been turkish and I honestly can’t find whoever else it’s supposed to be. I was thinking Confucius but he wasn’t turkish either.
Turkic not Turkish. Pedantic distinction but this includes the Uyghurs, Golden Horde, amongst others. The late tang was Turkic. But still unsure of who they are supposed to be in the picture
Oooooooh that explains a lot… probably ghengis khan then.
Mongolic and Turkic are separate
Well then I don’t know.
I don’t know either, there have been Turkic rulers in what’s now modern day China but most famous Chinese guy? Not sure who that would refer to
But it does not include Mongols, though they shared some cultural similarities they were ethnically distinct as their languages were mutually unintelligible.
Correct.
Most famous American was British
Jesus was my first thought for the most famous American
That’s ridiculous. Jesus is English.
But the Pope is French.
Glad somebody got the reference lol
TIL Billy Zane is British
This week, someone posted here about Jára Cimrman, and well, let me just quote Wikipedia:
In 2005, Jára Cimrman won a public vote for the title of “The Greatest Czech” (he was subsequently disqualified due to being a fictional character).
But also, “Cimrman” is a transliteration of the German surname/word “Zimmermann” (carpenter).
So, Czech people made up a tongue-in-cheek national hero that apparently has German heritage. 😅The most famous German is Australian.
I’m imagining Hitler calling people cunt and giving mundane things the dumbest nicknames that all end in y.
Einstein wasn’t Austrian /s
But according to this “documentary” he might have been Australian…
Mozart was born in Salzburg, but that belonged to Germany at the time!
