Gotta Feel Bad for Beethoven There

This onion won't make me cry Beethoven originally wrote his third symphony and dedicated it to Napoleon, who he regarded as a person on the side of all people against the aristocracy. However when Napoleon declared himself emperor of France, he tore out the dedication and inscribed it: "to the memory of a great man". made with mematic

I'm about to make what is known as a Pro-Imperialist move.

OP's Notes:

The United States Army occupied Mexico City from September 14 1847, to June 12 1848. The occupation began with three days of intense and bloody street fighting between Mexicans and U.S. troops. Generally, U.S. historians of the war have contended that the conclusion of street fighting marked a transition to a peaceful occupation, disrupted occasionally by random acts of violence primarily involving a criminal element of Mexico’s urban underclass, known as leperos. Yet the private journals, diaries, and letters of members of the U.S. occupation force suggest that those troops perceived something more than random acts of crime being directed toward them―they saw a more generalized, and organized, anti-American resistance, particularly among the Mexican lower classes, but also sometimes including elements of the Mexican military. Evidence from contemporary writings of some Mexicans supports such a view.

OP's Context:

During the occupation of Manchuria and during the initial stages of the Second Sino Japanese War, the IJA made some not-very-subtle forrays into Mongolia, which was a Soviet Satellite at the time. The Mongolians fought back on the same stock of horses that their ancestors once used to terrorize Eurasia. They used modern rifles instead of bows, but their most effective weapon turned out to be the cavalry sabre. In one particular battle, a hundred Mongol horsemen ambushed a Japanese regiment on the march, killing 11 of them before the Japanese were able to set up a heavy machinegun. 23 of the ambushers were gunned down, including their commander, but the survivors fought so ferociously that the Japanese were thrown into a disorderly rout.

After killing their enemies, the Mongols would carry their bodies back across the border to Manchuria as a sign of respect. Japan was trying to portray itself as Asia's master race at the time, and this was absolutely horrible for their PR. They made a couple of half-hearted appeals to the Soviet Embassy to get the attacks to stop, to which the Soviets replied amiably (but forcibly) "the Japanese could avoid such difficulties if they returned to Japan."

This led to an inevitable escalation, and the Mongolians began to rely on the Red Army for help (with dealing with the Japanese tanks, in particular). This campaign saw the meteoric rise of then-Corps Commander Georgy Zhukov as a field commander and culminated with the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, which effectively ended any notions of western Japanese expansion into the Soviet Union.

Pulling the Short Straw

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Matilda_of_Great_Britain">Caroline Matilda</a> was married to her first cousin (Don't worry, they were both Royals, so this is perfectly fine), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_VII_of_Denmark">Chritian VII of Denmark</a> in order to continue the royal line.

Unfortunately, he was mentally ill, I'm sure the rampant i----- had nothing to do with it, and was very cold and distant to his wife; leading her to having an affair with his doctor later on and using their influence on the king to pass many modernising and progressive policies.

Then, just like in a fairy tale, the Kings evil stepmother led a coup against them and things went....poorly for them.
