The scientist is known due to the fact that he looked at physics at a different angle, came up with the theory of relativity, on which the science of the XXI century now lives, a considerable contribution to the pacifist and atheistic movement.

Failed artist

Yes, this is one of the most cruel dictators in the entire history of mankind. Nazi who arranged genocide to the Jewish people, having taken six million lives in the furnaces and camps. Adolf Hitler won his terrible efforts first in the list of the most famous people of the world, but it must be said that this glory turned into a sad outcome of suicide for him.

Now many people argue about how the fate of the 20th century would have happened if Hitler had not been at the helm of Nazi Germany, but continued to draw his paintings. But the story does not know the subjunctive inclination, it happened and you need to be able to put up with it.

In the biography of Hitler, before it comes to power, there is nothing special. Born and grew up in an ordinary family: the father worked at the customs, Mom was a peasant. Adolf's school did not finish, wanted to enter the art school, but he received a refusal twice. I decided to earn creativity without having education. For several years I lived the injignment.

Interestingly changed the ratio of the German dictator to the passage of military service. In 1913, he escapes to Munich, where he hides from a mandatory call, but a year later, he falls on a medical examination, where it is recognized unfounded. During World War I, it wakes up a sense of patriotism in him, he is written by a volunteer and goes to the front. In hostilities, Hitler manifests itself with good soldiers, receives several combat awards and the rank of corporal. After the war, he is recorded in the party of German workers. In 1933, this political meeting receives the majority of votes, Hitler is prescribed by Reichskanzler. From now on, the most tragic history of the XX century begins.

Adolf Hitler had a beloved, Eva Brown. They got married the day before the commission of double suicide, as a result of the failure of the Nazi troops on all fronts. There is an opinion that the leader hermann Empire Fallen into the country of Latin America. But actually it is not. Genetics with the help of DNA test proved that the body that was found belonging to Hitler.

Actors and directors

The foundation of the current movie, which we know and love, was laid in the form of a mustache peasant in Charlie Chaplin's hat. How many self-chairs in his works? When watching the "dictator", you ask the question: What should be a brilliant actor to ridicule such a formidable person? He was a man who was not afraid of anything, constantly discovering for this genre of art something new.

Each movie lover will call its list of the best actors. But if you compare these opinions, it will be possible to observe some of the same choice. This is quite explained. How can I be indifferent to the game Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp or Leonardo Di Caprio? The actor needs to be in demand, you need to play, constantly removing - this is the indicator of its popularity. We will contemplate it on their monitors or cinemas, it will be in images of our favorite heroes or create new ones.

In Russian cinema can be called not one dozen really talented artists. Among Hollywood celebrities would not be lost neither Oleg Tabakov, nor Evgeny Mironov, nor Konstantin Khabensky.

But the cinema is determined not only by the play of actors, but also the genius of the director. What names come to mind? Hitchcock, Kubrick wall, Quentin Tarantino, and maybe Tarkovsky? One thing we know exactly that their films can be happy to revise more than once.

Among the Russian creators, I would also like to highlight the Talanat Nikita Mikhalkov, who was awarded the American Oscar Prize for the best movie. I would also like to remember Andrei Ryazantsev, who removed our favorite comedies: the irony of fate or with a light steam, a service novel and many others.

Revolutionary Fashion World

Coco Chanel appeared in August 1883. Few signs with her real name - Gabriel Bonor Chanel. The girl thought that with this name it was impossible to succeed and something to change something, his pseudonym took from the symbiosis of two songs, which sank in the Kabaks: "Kokoriko" and "Quiquavucoco".

The revolutionary and rebar of nature began its way, oddly enough, in the monastery. There, local nuns taught her sewing lessons. Coco it was not enough to change the entire mod vector at that time. She made new breathtaking suits from the "Jersey" material, things from such a fabric worn only men, which pushed the public to ambiguous conclusions. But she was spit, the main thing is that women finally felt free, they felt that they were entering society, putting on a couple of slender trousers.

Next, a new idea appeared in Chanel's head: she wanted to create perfumes that the girls would buy themselves, and not be satisfied only with gifts from a strong sex. This is how the perfumery product has appeared, known for the whole world under the trade name Chanel No.5. And this time Koko challenged the challenge: the design of the bottle was performed in a black and smooth style, resembling a kind of male toilet water. At that time, the girls had the right to carry the fragrance of monodos, consisting only of one ingredient. In the aroma from Chanel, 80 components were used, thereby dealing with another stereotype.

Girls are often wondering: "What to wear?". Chanel replied on him. Having made a miniature black dress that will suit any case from life, if it is a trip to the theater or a walk around the park, a quiet summer evening in the presence of a cavalier.

With all its popularity, Coco Chanel failed to escape from himself. She did not admit to anyone that she had no mother, and she saw her father last time at 12, which began his journey in the monastery, and not in a good and intelligent family, having lost 10 years from his age.

But its contribution during the XX century is impossible to overestimate. It was she who first opened the world that a woman is not just an incubator for having children, a woman - a man who thinks and feels.

Who is the most famous person in the world?

Many people think that Jesus Christ. You can argue with them, you can refute even the existence of this personality. But the fact that this name is familiar to everyone - there is no shadow of doubt. How many copies of the Bible are sold at the moment, and how many people belong to faith where Christ is in the center of everything? A huge set and of that.

We can only build guesses, but never know who the most famous. And maybe it's just optional?

What does it mean to be famous? Here, for example, Cescy Sallenberger got on the second position of the rating of the top 100 most influential people in 2009 for the successful emergency landing of the aircraft, as a result of which no one was injured. But the time passes, and all these rating names are erased and dissolved over millions of the same rating names. But there are ten people who know about in any part of the globe. They knew about them, know and will know. And we invite you to remember these ten people in the top of the greatest people of all time. The names in the list are placed in ascending order from the tenth to the most important, first place.

The greatest people of all time. Top 10. Sir Isaac Newton

If you have a rating of people on request in Google, Albert Einstein was located in a tenth place, in one month, Albert Einstein's request is recruiting up to 6.1 million searches. But Jesack Newton is written much more books and Albert Einstein is unlikely to ever be able to defeat him in this sense. Sir Isaac Newton opened the law of attraction, invented the term "strength of gravity", invented the telescope reflector, defeated the Roman Catholic Church by the rationale for geocentrism and determined that anyone, even the smallest object in the universe moves. AT free time Newton explored the principles of optics. He lived a long life and died at the age of 84.

The greatest people of all time. Top 10. Leonardo da Vinci

In the case of one of the greatest people in the history of Leonardo da Vinci, Google search can be quite inaccurate. And if you enter only the name "Leonardo", Google will give a bunch of links to the ninja turtles and people who drowned on the Titanic. But if you get full name Leonardo da Vinci, immediately find out that he is known to the world. A person who could do anything. And all the books about it and its inventions are perhaps the largest and interesting resume in the world. He was an engineer, inventor, anatomy, architect, mathematics, geologist, musician, cartographer, nerd, writer and sculptor. He invented the rifle, even if she was not immediately similar to the fact that we were used to calling a rifle, but Leonardo rifle shot at a distance of 1000 yards. He invented the parachute, 300 years before it was officially invented. He invented Deltaplane, 400 years before his official invention. Deltaplan Leonardo was based on bird wings. He was able to imagine what a helicopter should be, however, could not understand that it should be for the force to raise such a design into the air. He invented the tank, which was a construction constructed using a crankshaft. The structure could move and shoot at the same time in different directions. He invented the scissors connecting two knives bolt.

Along with incredible, for its time inventions, Leonardo was a magnificent artist and sculptor. The work of "Mona Lisa" is a masterpiece of global portrait painting, around whom the disputes do not cease to this day.

The greatest people of all time. Top 10. William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare Man, whom we repeat every day, quoting and without even suspecting that he came up with this phrase or expression. It is amazing, remember how often you say something like this: "Not all that is gold, which shines", "miserable spectacle", "Food of the gods", "Everything is good that it ends well." All this shakespeare. And of course, the most famous phrase of the maestro: "be or not to be". Egil Aarvik, a representative of the Nobel Prize Committee, said once that Shakespeare would be the only person who could claim the Nobel Prize more than once.

Speaking about the work of Shakespeare, we can almost unambiguously say about it itself. About his life, about him, as a man. We only know that he was a simple actor, and then suddenly he suddenly became the greatest playwright. This gives a reason to spread the incredible number of rumors and whether Shakespeare was Shakespeare.

The greatest people of all time. Top 10. Adolf Gitler

Who is Adolf Hitler know everything. We all know that this man is the root cause of World War II. He provoked war for two main reasons, if you can say so. The first: become the most powerful person on earth and in history, and rule the world. The second reason is: to give rise to so much pain as you can, against all who personally he considered the guilty of the fact that Germany fell into an offensive and humiliating position after the First World War.

Hitler was a magnificent speaker, and he knew that he would want to hear his compatriots and knew that they feel in relation to German offenders the same feelings as he himself. Consequently, to raise people to the "great" accomplishments and conquest was completely easy.

The Second World War became the most severe, the very bloody war in the history of mankind. She led to the biggest human losses. The approximate number of victims of World War II is 71 million people. And Hitler is to blame for this. And during the war, he knew about it.

According to the legend, Moses was found by the baby, in a basket floating around the Nile and was treated as the son of Pharaoh. There is no, by and large, accurate information about Moses, except that he grew up in a noble Egyptian family, and one fine day saw the Egyptian mocks his Jewish slave, killed Egyptian and fled to the desert. Here, in the desert, God first appeared to Moses, as a burning bush. This turning point inspired Moses, and he inspired him went to Pharaoh, to ask that he would have let go of all the Jews, otherwise, the Lord will find such torments to the Egyptians that they would not stand. So it happened. Pharaoh resisted, and the Lord showed his strength and sent an inconceivable torment to the Egyptian people. Ultimately, Pharaoh was forced to let Moses together with all the Jews.

Magomet was born in Saudi Arabia, he had 13 wives. Not a single accurate image of Mahomet, because he is considered the last prophet sent by Allah, in order to teach people the main path of peace and righteousness, and that he is too holy, so that we all see His face. For his life, Magomet managed to unite the entire Middle East under the name of the Unified God - Allah.

Perhaps do not know the name of Christ, any very primitive nations and tribes living in the Amazon River Delta or in the impassable forests of Brazil. The main book telling about the life and acts of Christ is the Bible New Testament, Note that 25 million copies of the Bible worldwide are sold annually.
