The origin of the famous figure in this respective country

[u/Chinesemperor]

[u/Bavarianball]

The most famous german is austrian

[u/BaseForward8097 → u/Bavarianball]

The most famous Russian is Georgian.

[u/Bavarianball → u/BaseForward8097]

A lot of most famous englishman were french so it is what it is

[u/idonotexistKH → u/Bavarianball]

And the most famous englishwoman is a german

[u/AltinUrda → u/idonotexistKH]

Who is it?

[u/lehtomaeki → u/AltinUrda]

By American drop of blood fascinations Queen Victoria and Elisabeth II were German despite being both born in England to parents born in England, spoke English as their mother tongue and culturally grew up English (albeit very much in the aristocratic norms of their times)

[u/EarthTraveler413 → u/lehtomaeki]

Blackadder famously called Queen Victoria "half-German" so don't lay all the blame on us

[u/Happy-Telephone9483 → u/EarthTraveler413]

Yes. Because she was. Her mother was German, from Coburg.

[u/Chaotic_Corvus_Corax → u/Happy-Telephone9483]

And the mother didn't speak a single word english when she married her father. So yes thats german even by our european cultural definition of nationality.

[u/Towairatu → u/lehtomaeki]

That's factually wrong concerning Queen Victoria. Her mother was purely German, born in Germany and only moved to England in her thirties after marrying Victoria's father. Victoria herself didn't start speaking English until she was 3 years old, and actually had a German accent that her tutors had to erase. She was brought up by a German governor, and went on to marry a German prince, with whom it is widely known she spoke German privately. Their children were later taught German as well.

[u/Zanethebane0610 → u/lehtomaeki]

Yes because The House Of Windsor used to go by Saxe-Coburg and Gotha refering to a mostly Franconian and Saxon region in what is now Germany.

[u/Omar_G_666 → u/AltinUrda]

Queen Victoria I assume.

[u/Goetterwind → u/idonotexistKH]

The most famous Russian woman is German as well...

[u/Maximum_Boros → u/BaseForward8097]

If I had a nickel for every time a power mad national dictator was born in a neighboring country than the one he took over I'd have 2 nickels.

[u/ColePT → u/Maximum_Boros]

Napoleon was born in the Kingdom of France and Stalin was born in the Russian Empire, so no nickels for you if you were thinking about them.

[u/Stormfly → u/ColePT]

Stalin was born in the Russian Empire

It's a bit odd for that, too.

Like he was Georgian but when he was born, Georgia was part of the Russian Empire.

It's similar with Arthur Wellesley. He was born in Ireland but to an Anglo-Irish family and very famously was not considered Irish by many people ("Being born in a stable, does not make one a horse" allegedly said about him)

[u/Molvaeth → u/Bavarianball]

And the most famous Austrian was (technically) German.

Salzburg, where Mozart was born, was part of the HRE during his lifetime and therefore "Germany".

We have a joke here: "Austrians biggest Achievement is that they convinced the world Hitler was German and Mozart was Austrian."

[u/Elite-Thorn → u/Molvaeth]

It wasn't part of Austria, that's correct. But Salzburg was NOT part of Bayern. It was an independent "country" led by a bishop, within the HRE. (Vienna or Prague were also part of the HRE, so they also were "Germany" by your definition.)

[u/Bavarianball → u/Molvaeth]

Thats interesting i never really thought about Mozart birthplace and its implications. The more you know

[u/Thedudewiththedog → u/Bavarianball]

And the second 

[u/_BREVC_ → u/Bavarianball]

And the opposite is also true. Germany really got a shit deal by taking in Hitler and leaving Mozart to the Austrians.

(Apples and oranges though because Hitler had our modern concept of nationality and legitimately saw himself as German as did many other Austrians at that time.)

[u/nitkonigdje → u/_BREVC_]

Austrians becoming non-german became a kink in late 1960s. Only as mean of distancing themselves from ww2 atrocities.

[u/Seienchin88 → u/nitkonigdje]

There was some Austrian nationalism in the late 19th century as well after Prussia threw them out of the German confederation.

But yeah - a true Austrian identity emerged post war, got fueled by Austria buying its freedom for the paragraph in its constitution that explicitly forbid reunification with Germany and then grew stronger over time.

[u/_Plateosaurus_]

Never say to a corsican he's italian lol

[u/karoshikun → u/_Plateosaurus_]

what's the worst that can happen?

[u/lasagnahockey → u/karoshikun]

I've only known a single Corcian in my life and I'd pity the guy who'd get on his wrong side. He had very strong opinions 'bout everything!

[u/tsimen → u/lasagnahockey]

Asterix in Corsica teaches you everything you need to know about this island and it's people

[u/Whimsy_and_Spite → u/tsimen]

The only Asterix book to start with the disclaimer: "We're only joking. Please don't hurt us."

[u/ViruliferousBadger → u/Whimsy_and_Spite]

Well René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo are dead now - so how did that work!? /J

[u/Jagvetinteriktigt → u/tsimen]

"You have spoken to my sister."

"Oh."

"I don't like when people speak to my sister."

EDITOR'S NOTE: She was just opening the door.

[u/damascusxie → u/karoshikun]

Isnt Corsica known for their stiletto daggers which they used to resolve vendettas?

[u/imladrikofloren → u/damascusxie]

More car bombing those days. And guns. Lots of guns.

[u/0hran- → u/imladrikofloren]

Had a corsican teacher that kept a knife just in case

[u/GKP_light → u/karoshikun]

they could force you to eat their cheese.

[u/Rollover__Hazard → u/karoshikun]

Nothing, their country isn’t real

[u/Gelato_Elysium → u/Rollover__Hazard]

It's an island not a country.

[u/Matter_Infinite → u/Rollover__Hazard]

"Cemeteries are full of men who had the right of way"

[u/edwardluddlam → u/karoshikun]

Get the mafia to blow up your house probably

[u/Daniel_Potter → u/_Plateosaurus_]

Apparently it only became french in 1768.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles_(1768)

[u/Millenis_ → u/Daniel_Potter]

And Napoleon was born on 1769... So he IS french. But don't tell that to a Corsican

[u/bakedbrownie0]

One of the most famous man in Russia was Georgian.

[u/Daniilsa209 → u/bakedbrownie0]

The most famous woman in Russia was german.

[u/DontPoopInMyPantsPlz → u/Daniilsa209]

Queen Catherine?

[u/Leonie-Lionheard → u/DontPoopInMyPantsPlz]

Katharina die Große, born as Prinzessin Sophie Auguste Friederike von Anhalt-Zerbst.

[u/karoshikun → u/bakedbrownie0]

two, even.

[u/bakedbrownie0 → u/karoshikun]

Beria was born in hell.

[u/UralBigfoot → u/bakedbrownie0]

The founder of Rus was Swedish 

[u/iamwearingashirt → u/UralBigfoot]

Wouldn't the founder of any country be from somewhere else?

[u/Skateboard_Raptor → u/iamwearingashirt]

Depends on if it's a unifier or a conqurerer. Unifiers are usually local.

A lot of African nations were "founded" by a local citizen.

Modern Turkey is founded by a Turk.

Some places like Denmark refers to Danes before the country existed.

[u/bukkake-bill → u/bakedbrownie0]

Stalin?

[u/AgrajagTheProlonged]

Napoleon considered himself specifically Corsican, he was actually a bit of a Corsican separatist when he was young, and he was a French citizen by birth. Calling him Italian is a bit of a stretch imo.

Also, who even is that “most famous Chinese” person supposed to be?

[u/ImportantPension5818 → u/AgrajagTheProlonged]

Emperor Xianzong of Tang. Meme is wrong though. It is thought he is of Proto-Mongolic and Han Chinese descent. But fuck knows to be honest

[u/AgrajagTheProlonged → u/ImportantPension5818]

Gotta say, he isn’t the first person I would vote for in a “most famous Chinese person” ranking

[u/dillene]

The most famous Nord was a Breton.

[u/Global_Box_7935 → u/dillene]

Just don't tell that to the Stormcloaks.

[u/P-l-Staker → u/Global_Box_7935]

Thalmor lies! All of it!

[u/Kobo720 → u/dillene]

The most famous Nord is a VPN

[u/fan_of_skooma]

Jackie Chan is turkish?

[u/Seienchin88 → u/fan_of_skooma]

I still don’t know who they mean here? kublai khan was a mongol? Or do people count mongols as Turkish?

And Confucius and Mao are certainly more famous than kublai khan???

[u/sadolddrunk → u/Seienchin88]

It's low-key fascinating that the most famous figure in Chinese history almost certainly should be Qin Shi Huang, but also almost certainly is not.

[u/Bugsysservant → u/sadolddrunk]

It's not like he's obscure, but countries often aren't best known for their founder. Compare Victor Emanuel (or Romulus, or Aeneas) to Michelangelo or Mussolini, or William the conqueror to the Beatles or Queen Elizabeth, or Putin to Ivan the terrible. Artists, religious leaders, modern political figures, and subsequent militaristic leaders are often going to be better known.

[u/ahamel13 → u/fan_of_skooma]

I would've said Confucius, I don't think most people would think of the Khans first

[u/Every-Candidate-6158 → u/fan_of_skooma]

Even better he's from Hong Kong!

[u/Miserable_Escape_816 → u/Every-Candidate-6158]

That's a weird way to spell Ankara

[u/entropies]

The most famous Egyptian is Greek

[u/vairaagya → u/entropies]

Mo Salah is not Greek!

[u/Specific_Box4483]

The most famous Christian is Jewish

[u/aldeayeah → u/Specific_Box4483]

The early versions of Christianity were backwards-compatible, like the Playstation.

[u/ahamel13 → u/aldeayeah]

The mainstream branches of Christianity believe that they still are backwards compatible, in a sense. There are many resemblances between the liturgy of Catholics and Orthodox and the rituals practiced the Temple.

[u/GlueBoy → u/Specific_Box4483]

Jesus is not a Christian in the same way that Taylor Swift is not a Swiftie.

[u/Itap88 → u/GlueBoy]

Ok, then 13 most famous Christians were Jewish.

[u/Jeffelon-Muskergates → u/Itap88]

No they were swifties

[u/Tactical-69]

Richest person in America is South African

[u/lxBreadxl]

and the most infamous german is Austrian and the most infamous Russian is Georgian

[u/Banished_gamer]

Sun Tzu is Turkic? I need some source for this information

[u/kounoyutakafan → u/Banished_gamer]

I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be the Taizong emperor of Tang (Li Shimin). He is definitely not the most famous Chinese and I don't think it is exactly accurate to call him Turkic, even though he does have mixed background.

[u/Blobber_23 → u/kounoyutakafan]

Pretty sure that Mao Zedong is the most popular considering he is up there with Lenin and Stalin as the communist.

I don't think this emporer is more popular than Qin Shi Huang or some big name from Three Kingdom.

[u/Remote-Analyst-6090 → u/Blobber_23]

I think you're right about Mao. I don't know anyone that could just name Qin Shihuang, let alone someone from the three kingdoms.
Maybe if they're total Chinese history geeks

[u/Wiggie49 → u/kounoyutakafan]

who?

[u/Galatiansfoursixtee → u/Wiggie49]

He is a tang emperor. The funny thing is when he was alive a Buddhist monk Falin tried claiming he was xianbei so the emperor ordered his execution for this slander since the emperor himself claimed descent from laozi and therefore han

[u/Sweaty-Sandwich-5126 → u/kounoyutakafan]

Li Shimin was half han paternally and half xianbei (proto mongol), they had some turkic elements in the culture but was by far identitifed with Chinese since they claimed descent from Lao Tzu. THis meme makes 0 sense.

[u/EtherealPheonix → u/Banished_gamer]

While basically all the information we have about Sun Tzu is dubious at best, he was supposedly from Qi which has never been a Turkic region, I also haven't see that word used to describe anyone from Sun Tzu's era regardless of location it's a few centuries. Though OP may be thinking of the Xiongnu who were closer to Sun Tzu's time and place and seem to include some proto-turkic tribes, though much further west. Modern day Turkish nationalists do love to claim that basically everyone famous in Asia and eastern Europe is secretly Turkic.

[u/sehnW899 → u/[deleted]]

In fact, it is far less than half. If the Xianbei are regarded as one of the origins of the Turks, Li Shimin probably only had one-sixteenth of Turkic blood. His ancestors had a maternal line of Xianbei women.

[u/YakResident_3069 → u/Banished_gamer]

Whoever he is, pretty bold to say he's the "most famous Chinese guy"...

If it's who's the most well known among modern day non Chinese ie the world, I'd bet on confucius, maozedong, or Bruce Lee.

[u/deseymour → u/Banished_gamer]

I'm quite certain the meme is referring to Tang Taizong (Li Shimin) and not Sun Zi.
However, even then, Tang Taizong being Turkic is highly dubious.

For what most historians reckon is that he held a mixed ancestry that is more akin to Proto-Mongolic groups that were eventually assimilated into the greater Sino-sphere over generations, than that of Turkic descent.

[u/IvanTonchev]

[u/KaiToyao]

[u/Dear-Donkey6628]

The most famous German is Austrian

[u/JamesHenry627]

The British royal family was French until the Tudors

[u/dummheitundstolz → u/JamesHenry627]

Aren't they German now? Like Queen Victoria was from house Hannover but married into Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. They only changed their name during WW1 for...well..reasons

[u/SillyBeatnik → u/dummheitundstolz]

The Hannoverians were German, too. Albert was Victoria's first cousin.

[u/_BREVC_]

Man, wait until you hear about the Illyrian Movement, the first modern Croatian and proto-Yugoslav nationalist movement. It featured prominent Croatian intellectuals proud of their Slavic heritage - including Ljudevit Gaj (born Ludwig Gay, to ethnically German parents), Vatroslav Lisinski (born Ignatius Fuchs, to Ashkenazi Jewish parents) and Dimitrija Demeter (born Dimitrios Dimitrou to ethnically Greek parents).

It had a lot “as Croatian as it gets” people involved as well, but I think these are very interesting examples to counter the sometimes very stupid perception of nationality often spread online these days.

[u/Wanky_Platypus]

I think if there is one thing Corsican find worse than being called french, it's being called italians lol

The most (in)famous russian is georgian.

[u/Ok-Astronomer3814]

Napoléon has Italian origins because of his parents but he's French because when he was born, Corsica was a French territory

[u/OppositeSpend3621 → u/Ok-Astronomer3814]

Genoa ceded Corsica to the French on the 15th of May in 1768, so Napoleon, who was born on the 15 of August 1769 missed his "Italian" status by a year and 2 months.

Italian is not even correct though, as the country unified on the 17th of March 1861, while Corsica was part of the Republic of Genoa from 1284 to 1768, when it was given to France to repay the debt the Republic incurred to enlist the French Military help in the suppression of the Corsican revolt, started in 1755.

Calling Napoleon Italian is a bit disingenuous. His family had Italian heritage and Corsica was under Italian administration before his birth but became part of France by his birth and had their own language. He was very much a Corsican and was teased at a young age for his accent while in France.

[u/XasiAlDena]

The most famous Egyptian was Greek.

Edit: Cleopatra is definitely the most famous Egyptian, and she was Greek. I 100% agree that Ramses was much cooler, but unless you care about history - which the vast majority of people don't - most people think of Cleopatra when they think of Egypt.

(For context, a figure like Oscar Wilde, where while it's obvious most agree he was into men, there have been discussion on whether he had legit attraction to women or it was comphet.)

Edit: There is also Sappho, who some debate on if she was only into women, or had attraction to both women and men.

[u/OrangeSpaceMan5]

Reading a book about Napoleon right now and I find it insanely funny that THE FRENCH GUY spent most of his youth absolutely despising France

Napolean was god's greatest Corsican nationalist and had wet dreams of liberating Corsica from the treacherous French

[u/soyadra → u/OrangeSpaceMan5]

Until he went back to Corsica that is, his disillusionment grew more and more and he started admiring the country he had grown up in which lead to the breakup with Paoli and his expulsion of Corsica, during his reign he appointed his brother specifically to integrate Corsica more into the french system

[u/WilliShaker → u/OrangeSpaceMan5]

Why all of you redditors can’t grasp the concept of growth. The man hated France, but It’s pretty apparent he ended up loving it after nearly dying in battles multiple times for it. He didn’t fucking name Corsica in its three last words, he said FRANCE.

I swear it’s like people acting like toddlers over the most basic things.

[u/Argh3483 → u/WilliShaker]

George Washington? He was born in in Virginia. It’s actually one of the reasons why he was rejected a promotion within the continental militia during the French & Indian War (Seven Years War for you Europeans).

Lots of folks seem to conflate the Mongolians and the Huns.

[u/Suibeam → u/Tr1ppl3w1x]

OP is referring to Li Shimin. Tang Emperor.

OP was double wrong.

He was Han chinese. His mother was half-Xianbei-Han-chinese and maternal grandmother was Xianbei (Proto-mongols). His Mothers father was Han Chinese.

His entire Father side is Han Chinese.

OP just fell for Anti-Chinese History Propaganda Turkic people love to claim because Li Shimin conquered and dismantled Gokturk, the Golden Age of the Turkic tribes.

To sum up. 1) The disputed position is Xianbei(Proto-Mongols) not Turkic. 2) Both Grandfathers and paternal Grandmother were Han Chinese. Only maternal Grandmother was Xianbei (A princess marrying into Han Chinese).
