More than two centuries after her death, Marie-Antoinette continues to fascinate historians, writers, and filmmakers. She was born into royalty, and a world of immense privilege and power.

Il regno dell'imperatore Shōwa, o Hirohito, fu il più longevo nella storia giapponese, sebbene anche il più controverso. Hirohito è stato in grado di guidare la sua patria nel periodo più critico, buio e rivoluzionario di sempre, quello che va dal 1926 al 1989.
