Previously in English it was Beilorussia or Bylorussia, although White Russia was also used. > Limited relations to the outside world, but not total seclusion. > They had trade with China and Korea.

Could be wrong about that. >> 4.

Could be wrong about that. Originally, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Brits and the Dutch were all there. But the Tokugawa shoguns were deeply suspicious against the Catholic powers. Because not only did they trade, but they were also able to convert a few of feudal lords on Kyushu to Christianity. That in itself was maybe not very serious, but the reason they converted was: it gave them access to firearms and constituted a threat to the Tokugawa surpremacy. So the Spanish and Portuguese were shown the door. The Brits apparently lost interest of their own, which left the Dutch. >> Charles III > That's the name of the *next* monarch they're going to execute... or > maybe just pillory in the tabloids... You cannot accuse me for having spent too much time to learn all the British regents by heart, so my answers to this type of questions is usually a random combination of a name and number that possibly could fit. Hey, we all have our strong and weak points in these trivia games. I had a chuckle over people who think that Peru and Chile are landlocked. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
