Europeans in the land of the Rising sun



As colonizers, the Europeans, each time going on to their colonies, used cunning in the composition of their expeditions has always been that only young and healthy people. This part of the Europeans explained thus: "Let the natives see us as beings that are not subject to time and illness, even if they think that we are gods." And often, the indigenous people of the colonies certainly did. But when Europe discovered Japan, with the aim of colonize this country, began to send expeditions, again resorting to this stratagem, the Japanese were ingenious. Every time I see visiting young Europeans, the inhabitants of the country of the Rising sun sympathized with them. The Japanese thought all foreigners from Europe as young for the reason that they, the poor and unfortunate, a very short duration of life, here and there among them the elderly.
 

Advisor to the Emperor



French foreign Minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand Perigord, in the past the Church the Bishop was quite clever and flexible diplomat and a person in General. In his post he amassed a considerable fortune, taking a bribe, "gratitude and gifts". Good profits he received while selling the US state of Louisiana. This man helped Napoleon Bonaparte to seize power in France in 1799 And again he's contributed to the fact that Napoleon lost this power. When the ex-Emperor had escaped from Elba, and again for a short period of time to seize power in France, he, ironically, hoped to see again in my advisors Talleyrand. Napoleon knew about the change of Minister, but he also knew about the political abilities and the mind of the former adviser. In short, whatever happens, Talleyrand in any situation able to remain in business and to be fit for the rulers of France a man, after all, the Bourbons realized that he is a great diplomat. And when Talleyrand died, society went for a long time the phrase "You have heard Talleyrand died. I wonder why would he do that?"
 

Imperial hunting

Once, in 1807, after signing the peace of Tilsit, the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte decided to arrange a hunt in the retinue. For this he ordered to purchase wild rabbits. When I started hunting, thousands of rabbits behaved very strangely. Instead of running away from the hunter-Emperor, rabbits the whole crowd ran to him. As it turned out, the animals were bought, not wild, and the error home. And when they saw him approaching the Emperor, hungry bunnies decided that they're going feeding here and rushed to Napoleon. The Emperor was forced to flee, but the animals pursued him, even when the waiters tried to stop them with whips. It was the humiliating defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. To each according to merit

After the campaign was successfully completed, decided to issue a commemorative medal, praising the valor and courage of soldiers equally manifest and Russian and Austrian soldiers.

The appearance of silk in Europe

Silk in Europe were brought from China, where it knew the secrets of its manufacture and strictly kept them to fear death. The Byzantine Emperor Justinian 1 in the 6th century decided on a dubious enterprise, he decided at all costs, be sure to learn how the Chinese make silk and to produce this fine matter in the country, of course with the aim to enrich. The Emperor went to the trick. He was sent to China two monks. Those already staying in this country, was not taken aback and immediately took up the Imperial order.
