Who Am I?

Post Reply New Topic

I was male. I was so short it gave me a complex. I promised to free all of Europe for democracy and instead declared myself Emperor. I apparently have an itch on my chest and would be wise to avoid small islands, or Russia in winter.

Napoleon Bonaparte.

(He really, really annoyed Beethoven when he crowned himself Emperor.)

Next:
I am most probably dead.

I was a brave and decent man who used my political position to save many lives.

I was 'disappeared' by a cruel and aggressive government, who were the enemies of the government that I rescued people from.

My own government was neutral.

Raoul Wallenberg.

I was a priest, I died in Auschwitz.
I volunteered to take the place of a certain Franciszek Gajowniczek in the death row.
There were ten of us in the cell, waiting to be starved to death.
I survived two weeks, seeing the others die before me.
Later I was canonized.

St Maximilian Kolbe.

I was adored by my people, to whom I promised freedom.

They called me 'Uncle'.

I led them in the only war that America ever lost.

Tecumseh.

Nope.....nearly one hundred years later than him.


Sylkat

Hmm. The only war(s) America ever lost are either the War of 1812 or the Vietnam War. Now, Tecumseh died in 1813. One hundred years from that would be close to World War I. Can you see the big question mark hovering above my head?

Right.

One hundred fifty-three years, then.

Ho Chi Minh.

Right! Your turn to come up with a mystery person.....

I was a king, appointed by the pope, but I couldn't read or write.

When I signed any document, my signature read "Signum ✝ gloriosissimo domno pippino rege" but only the mark ✝ came from my own hand.

I was of small stature, my son was a giant.

Pippin III.

More,please.


Sylkat

*Cough* -- In Europe he is known as Pepin the Short. Anyways, correct answer.

I am a female politician.
My father, who was assassinated in 1947, was nicknamed Bogyoke.
I have been arrested numerous times and I have spent years in prison. Today, however, I am free.

Aung San Suu Kyi

I was descended from a fish monger but had dreams of glory. I tried to be king and nearly lost but, when the enemy soldiers' line broke the battle turned to victory for me. Thus I was crowned king.

I terrorized the North and they must have been laughing when my coffin exploded spewing me all over the chapel at my funeral.
