Sengaku-ji is a Si ti Zen Buddhist temple located in the Takanawa neighborhood of Minato-ku, near Shinagawa Station, Tokyo, Japan. The graves of Asano Takumi no Kami Naganori and the Forty-seven Ronin are located there. The revenge of the Forty-seven Ronin (Shi-ju-shichi-shi), also known as the Forty-seven Samurai, the Aki vendetta, or the Genroku Aki incident (Genroku aki jiken) took place in Japan at the start of the 18th century. One noted Japanese scholar described the tale as the country's 'national legend'. It recounts the most famous case involving the samurai code of honor, bushidi. The story tells of a group of samurai who were left leaderless (becoming ronin) after their daimyo (feudal lord) Asano Naganori was forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a court official named Kira Yoshinaka, whose title was Ki zuke no suke. The ronin avenged their master's honor after patiently waiting and planning for two years to kill Kira. In turn, the ronin were themselves or

Thonburi, or Bangkok Noi, sits on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River and was the capital of Siam during the reign of King Taksin (1768-82). The design and construction of the Buddhist temple of Wat Suwannaram is of the Ayutthaya period (1351-1767). The temple has been restored twice: once under Rama I, and again in the time of Rama V. It was originally a monastery called Wat Thong (Golden Wat), again later named Wat Suwannaram ( Golden Monastery) by King Rama I. At the time of King Taksin the Great, the site was used as an execution place for Burmese prisoners of war. Until the period of the reign of King Rama V the grounds of Wat Suwannaram were also used as the Royal Cremation site for members of the Royal Family and high-rankling officials.

The Holodomor was a man-made famine in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1932 and 1933 that killed an estimated 2.5-7.5 million Ukrainians, with millions more counted in demographic estimates. It was part of the wider disaster, the Soviet famine of 1932-33, which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country. During the Holodomor millions of citizens of the Ukrainian SSR, the majority of whom were ethnic Ukrainians, died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine.Since 2006, the Holodomor has been recognized by the independent Ukraine and many other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet Union.
