Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 78: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture The Danes still sing with pride of the great victory they gained at Coburg. The battle was desperate. W King Christian was sorely wounded in the head; but when his people thought him dying, he rallied and declared that God had spared him so he might save their country from destruction. Then after a solemn prayer he led his men back into the fight, and won it in the end. Yet he could not save exhausted Denmark from yielding to a ruinous peace, by which she surrendered much territory to Sweden.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 76: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture A glance at the map will show how closely the three king doms are connected. Their people have been sailors, sea rovers, since the earliest dawn of our knowledge of them. So that their narrow, 'island-crowded straits and seas have not divided but united them. They have often been held by a single ruler and their history is so closely interwoven, their people are so alike, that really they are one nation rather than three. Norway has always been what the map shows it, a single narrow strip of mountainous Atlantic coast line, deeply indented with rockbound fiords. Denmark is a region of many sea-washed islands, low and sandy. Sweden has a mountainous highland of Dalecarlia sweeping down into broad lake-covered plains, a land almost as much enwrapped in water as the Danish islands.

He penetrated to the Pacific coast of Siberia and there built ships for himself and boldly sailed still farther eastward out upon the Pacific Ocean. He was thus the first to discover the sea and strait which lie between Siberia and which bear his name. He even crossed Behring Sea and so discovered the bleak shores of Alaska and took possession of that portion of America' s coast for Russia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 61: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture He was a scholar and a statesman; but he was not a warrior. Perhaps Japan was fortunate in this; because all the warlike Japanese Samaurai were vehemently demanding to be led against the foreigners. Hitosubashi, however, saw clearly the impossibility of keeping the modern world perma hently excluded from Japan and so sought only to avoid all useless conflict. His tolerance brought him into conflict with the patriotic Samaurai. At first these took the matter up individually. If a foreigner ventured anywhere alone he was followed, attacked and slain. The foreign governments pro tested to Hitosubashi; he apologized but expressed his in ability to discover the assailants. It was hinted that, after all, the foreigners had better return to their own countries where they would be safer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 56: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture The loyal and patriotic Spaniards rose in desperate; revolt against the French ruler thus thrust upon them. They had no king and no generals, no funds and moiregular army. But every city became a center of defiant resistance, a stronghold which the French must besiege or storm. The defense of Sara gossa, the ancient capital of Aragon, is particularly celebrated. Its citizens were chiefly under the lead of'their priests, but they selected Parafoii a member of the old nobility as their nominal head, and made him captain general of Aragon. When the city was attacked, the priests preached the duty of resistance and the people fought in every street. For two months they held back the French troops and finally drove them from the city. A second-siege and assault the following winter proved more successful; but the city was not finally captured until sixty thousand of its citizens had perished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture, Vol. 8 The immediate cause of dispute was Corea, sovereignty over which was claimed by both the contestants. The main battle of the war was thus fought on Corean ground, outside the city of Ping Yang. This the Chinese had strongly fortified. Its walls were high and it was surrounded by a chain of forts, chief of them being the Fort Botandai, shown in our picture as towering on a hilltop above the other forts. The Japanese attacked these defences like madmen, storming one fort after another, until finally Botandai itself was carried by assault. Then the resolute assailants attacked the city. A band of heroes clambered up the walls in face of a murderous fire, drove back the defenders, leaped down inside, and broke open the main gate for their comrades. Less than ten men of this scaling party were still alive -when the gate opened. After that the Chinese fled. This battle established unmistakably the military supremacy of the Japanese. The war made them the chief power of the East. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations, Vol. 62: With One Thousand of the World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture So severe were the demands of the Japanese, that Li re fused them flatly, declaring it would be better for China just to let the invaders go on ravaging the land, until they ex hansted themselves and their forces wasted away in its vast interior provinces. At this juncture' a fortunate accident occurred. A Japanese fanatic attacked and wounded the Chinese envoy. The Mikado and his advisers were profuse in apologies, and made this an excuse for modifying their terms to such as Li was willing to accept. 'china yielded Corea to Japan. She also yielded all the region around Port Arthur, thus giving her rival a secure footing within her bor ders. The island of Formosa was also given to Japan and a heavy money indemnity promised her. What Li chiefly saved for his country was the province of Manchuria, the an cient home of the Manchu Emperors, which had been included along with many other items in Japan's first demands.
