Idk is Hitler more known than Einstein? Both lived in the 19th-20th century, contemporaries. To this day Einstein is still the face of intellect. While Hitler is the face of nazism and the second world war. It is a close race.
Without Brahe, Kepler would have been delayed decades;
Without Kepler, Newton’s laws would have lacked their base;
Without Newton, classical physics would have been incomplete;
Without classical physics, Bohr’s atomic model wouldn’t compete;
Without Bohr, quantum mechanics would have lost its early spark.
Yeah, but int terms of "most famous", we are asking everybody. And I'm pretty sure, that if we ask everyone alive, more people will know who HCA was, than the others. ;)
Would probably be Saint Marinus no? You could argue he wasn't actually from there but he sorta founded the country.
Otherwise I literally could not name a dead Sammarinese person. I know a few football players who are probably more well known, but they're alive so that disqualifies them.
Now now. You’re not supposed to fight Sweden
unless the Öresund sea freezes over and a Swede walks over to Denmark. Then, Danes are allowed to hit him with sticks. The law doesn't mention Norwegians, so we’re good 😉
I beg to differer (as a Pole). While Copernicus is quite popular I am pretty sure Skłodowska is outshining him, at least among living people consciousness.
On the other hand I would argue if Skłodowska is really most famous - my bet would be on John Paul II.
Uhm Niels Bohr, Tycho Brahe, H. C Ørsted and Hans Christian Andersen are all from Denmark and I'm fairly certain they have been dead for quite some time.
Yeah, I'm with you on that choice, but the problem with that choice is that he isn't dead, and for that, I hope it will take many decades before he is recognized on this list 😉
But the problem about that is that it isn't him who are famous, it is his work, aka the Lego bricks, and they aren't named after him, and not many know what his name 🤷♂️
Leonid Trotsky is very-very far from being the most famous dead person in Ukraine. He is just one of the politicians of the Lenin era. If you ask any Ukrainian on the street about the most famous dead Ukrainian, literally no one will say Trotsky, so I have no clue where this info comes from.
Yeah, I still have a few passports filled with stamps from most of the old "eastern bloc" countries and the "middle east" countries, so I know a little about them, and also a little about the countries that doesn't exist anymore, like Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and East Germany
So maybe you should find out if the person know anything about it, before making fun, because otherwise it ends up the other way around 😉
I am speaking generally about Western Europeans, not particularly yourself. Although visiting as a tourist does not provide any significant knowledge besides knowledge of local cuisine, i do not doubt you
If we mean who Ukrainians would name, it's Taras Shevchenko or Lesya Ukrainka
If we mean which Ukrainian is more known in the world, it's Serhii Koroliov (thanks to whom the USSR became the first in the space industry), Kazymyr Malevych (I think all people know "Black square" painting), Arkhyp Kuindzhi, Mykola Leontovych (the author of "Carol of the bells")
I think both Albert Einstein and Mozart should be replaced by a certain “politician or leader”.
Yes indeed. There a certain political leader
Emperor Wilhelm, never forgotten 🥺
Most of the world doesn't know he's Austrian.
As they say, Austria's biggest achievement is convincing the world that Hitler is German and Beethoven Austrian 🤣
The thing is that he had dual citizenship otherwise he couldn't been elected Chancellor the first time.
It's true that most Europeans have heard the name, but surely Angela Merkel isn't that famous?
Idk is Hitler more known than Einstein? Both lived in the 19th-20th century, contemporaries. To this day Einstein is still the face of intellect. While Hitler is the face of nazism and the second world war. It is a close race.
Adolf Hitler. That is his name. We are not in Harry Potter. Let’s name evil when we see it.
That’s the category of the map you nauseatingly pedantic drama queen. 🙄
What evil?
Nah, it’s a painter
Nope, more people know Einstein than Hitler
Most people don’t even know he was born in Germany — where his citizenship was taken away.
Yes, they think he was Chinese
Jewish, Swiss, American … I’m not even sure he identified himself as German for the second half of his life.
He didn't identify as any country, as all intelligent people
You’re not very intelligent, are you?
He was offered the titel of President of Israel, but he declined
Jewish is a nationality? Interesting. Pretty sure everyone sees him as German who had to leave the country at some point in his life.
Was “German” a nationality prior to 1871?
Why is it even a discussion, if I remember correctly Hitler was born in Austria 😉
So no data on Hans Christian Andersen?
Nah, according to this he's still alive
That will cost the municipality of Odense a small fortune in lost income from tourists.
Perhaps he did, in fact, live happily ever after
Or Ørsted, Bohr, Kierkegaard, Brahe or even fricking Viggo Mortensen?
I think HCA carries more world fame than the others, to be honest. Not that they aren't world famous.
By the way, if Viggo Mortensen died, I must have missed the memo.
When he kicked that helmet in Lord Of The Rings, he actually kicked it so hard he died
True HC probably is more widely known, but it was just to give examples of many other important Danish people.
Also Viggo is dead to me, since he refused to do LoTR 4 (kidding, I missed the dead part)
Without Brahe, Kepler would have been delayed decades;
Without Kepler, Newton’s laws would have lacked their base;
Without Newton, classical physics would have been incomplete;
Without classical physics, Bohr’s atomic model wouldn’t compete;
Without Bohr, quantum mechanics would have lost its early spark.
It really depends who you ask :D
Yeah, but int terms of "most famous", we are asking everybody. And I'm pretty sure, that if we ask everyone alive, more people will know who HCA was, than the others. ;)
Well Viggo ain’t dead yet.
Don't agree with Greece - Aristotle, should be Pythagoras, Plato or something
Alexander the great since he is probably more known to Asia.
Or Leonidas of Sparta since a lot of people prefer holiwood over history lessons.
Fair suggestions yeah
I feel like Aristoteles is slightly more famous than Pythagoras, Plato is up for debate
Nicolas Copernicus also works for Poland I guess. Any ideas for Baltics or Balkans?
Could someone tell me who is San Marino's most famous dead person?
Would probably be Saint Marinus no? You could argue he wasn't actually from there but he sorta founded the country.
Otherwise I literally could not name a dead Sammarinese person. I know a few football players who are probably more well known, but they're alive so that disqualifies them.
Yeah I asked because I'm a fan of San Marino's National Football Team😅 maybe they're the most famous people atm, maybe I'm wrong
Yeah outside of us football nerds I don't know how many people actually know the players. It's quite a niche thing.
Otherwise their most famous is probably Alex de Angelis (MotoGP driver).
I didn't know Tesla was born/grew up on territory of Serbia.
He was born into what is today considered Croatia
It was considered Croatia back then too, it didn't stop existing simply because it was under administration of Austrian monarchs.
Croats will never stop being butthurt about Tesla, you got the sea we get the greats, let it be
Watcha yappin about lmao, I love it when ppl like yourself think accomplishments of better men somehow apply to them too 🤣
yes
I dont know if that ONE person should be Austrian yellow or German red.
Why'd you clowns gray out Denmark? Ever heard of Hans-Christian Andersen, Tycho Brahe, Niels Bohr, Karen Blixen, and many more?
Because it's Denmark🔫💀 ♥️ 🇸🇪 🇸🇪
Sweden sucks!
no need to state the obvious
Now now. You’re not supposed to fight Sweden unless the Öresund sea freezes over and a Swede walks over to Denmark. Then, Danes are allowed to hit him with sticks. The law doesn't mention Norwegians, so we’re good 😉
Well now we have a bridge, and they are infesting our country. Why haven't we brought the sticks out yet?
Hmmm. Worrying. I think it only applies when they brave the actual ice. Perhaps it’s time for a revision of said law?
I vote for Nils Bohr, kind of the danish Einstein.
Or what about the Danish king Harald Bluetooth? A lot of people see his initials written as a monogamy on a daily basis.
What color as his tooth?
You could maybe get away with Hans-Christian Andersen. The rest? Sorry to break it to you bud…
There’s probably way more people that know a random viking leader than any of the people you mentioned
Italy
Not Cesar 🤷
He was Roman. As there was no Italy back then
Polish Copernicus is more famous in world then Ann-Marie Skladowska.
I beg to differer (as a Pole). While Copernicus is quite popular I am pretty sure Skłodowska is outshining him, at least among living people consciousness.
On the other hand I would argue if Skłodowska is really most famous - my bet would be on John Paul II.
Never known Copernocus was Polish
Leaving out Vasco da Gama for Portugal?
Or Fernando Pessoa.
Uhm Niels Bohr, Tycho Brahe, H. C Ørsted and Hans Christian Andersen are all from Denmark and I'm fairly certain they have been dead for quite some time.
But all right...
Hamlet
I mean sure. Not a real person though.
Niels Bohr !?
For Finland it could be Jean Sibelius or maybe Simo Häyhä? Hard to say who'd be more famous abroad.
Kimi Räikkönen. /s
Yeah, I'm with you on that choice, but the problem with that choice is that he isn't dead, and for that, I hope it will take many decades before he is recognized on this list 😉
Gösta Sundqvist?
[deleted]
Who are these people?
Trotsky? Cool guide to the bullshit
With all due respect to Elizabeth II, how can she be more famous than Darwin or Newton. Science in the ditch.
QE2 only claim to fame is living a long time, no achievements or accomplishments. Its a tough life for someone born into absolute privelige
H.C. Andersen from denmark would have been the answer.
No Tycho Brahe?
QE2? Nope.
Ferdinand Magellan entered the chat.
Italia should be blue and yellow. Leonardo was both a great artist and scientist.
trotsky. Ukraine. Riiiiiight
H.C Andersen from Denmark????
Edvard Munch has his own emoji: 😱
Lol you're right 🤣
Denmark's is 100% the Lego guy
Yeah, as a Dane I would say you're right
But the problem about that is that it isn't him who are famous, it is his work, aka the Lego bricks, and they aren't named after him, and not many know what his name 🤷♂️
Hitler
Hans Christian Andersen🇩🇰????
Leonid Trotsky is very-very far from being the most famous dead person in Ukraine. He is just one of the politicians of the Lenin era. If you ask any Ukrainian on the street about the most famous dead Ukrainian, literally no one will say Trotsky, so I have no clue where this info comes from.
I think think they mean famous worldwide.
Okay, then what about Aviator and Engineers Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky, he was born in Kiev 🤗
Also Korolyov was born in Zhytomyr. But i am absolutely not surprised that westerners are more interested in some failed jewish commie.
Yeah, sorry my friend, but from what I know, Sikorsky was baptist not jewish
And why I named him was because many know the name, because of the Sikorsky Helicopter
And I would probably not even had heard about Korolyov, if it wasn't for my interest of the space exploration 🤷♂️
but you are welcome to believe what you want about other people, I can't do much about that my friend 🤗
Failed jewish commie obviously refers to Trotskiy, idk how to make it more obvious tbh
Yeah, how to make it more obvious, like this ⬆️ my friend
And don't response under my post, but under the post you where referring to, that would help keeping the confusion down my friend
And you said westerner, I'm Danish and I think the other poster is Ukrainian, so honestly 🤷♂️
Chill out, i am Ukrainian making fun of Western Europeans/Americans about how little they know about Eastern Europe.
Yeah, I still have a few passports filled with stamps from most of the old "eastern bloc" countries and the "middle east" countries, so I know a little about them, and also a little about the countries that doesn't exist anymore, like Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and East Germany
So maybe you should find out if the person know anything about it, before making fun, because otherwise it ends up the other way around 😉
I am speaking generally about Western Europeans, not particularly yourself. Although visiting as a tourist does not provide any significant knowledge besides knowledge of local cuisine, i do not doubt you
Give a counter example.
If we mean who Ukrainians would name, it's Taras Shevchenko or Lesya Ukrainka
If we mean which Ukrainian is more known in the world, it's Serhii Koroliov (thanks to whom the USSR became the first in the space industry), Kazymyr Malevych (I think all people know "Black square" painting), Arkhyp Kuindzhi, Mykola Leontovych (the author of "Carol of the bells")
As a Ukrainian, I'll say that Taras Shevchenko is the popular dead person in Ukraine.
Never heard of
Where is Niels Bohr in Denmark??
Niels Bohr be like "DAFUQ?"
Sorry Germany but I think more people around the world knows about Hitler then Einstein, but maybe you are giving him to Austria?
Denmark has no famous people? My contesters are
-H. C. Andersen -Niels Bohr -Hans Christian Ørsted -Tycho Brahe -Harald Blåtand(Bluetooth) -Niels Steensen
Trotsky, really?
if there was one for denmark it has to be ole kirk christiansen bro that guy's a legend
