| '''The Japanese invasions of Korea''' (1592-1598) comprised a major war between [[Japan]] and the alliance of [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] of [[China]] and [[Joseon Dynasty|Joseon]] of [[Korea]]. Japan invaded Korea on [[May 23]], with the larger objective to conquer the entirety of Asia (and the whole world)<ref name="Hawleyxii">Hawley, 2005. pp. xii</ref> by using Korea as a land bridge to China. The battles that involved 300,000 combatants and claimed more than 2 million lives took place almost entirely on the Korean peninsula and its nearby waters. The war consisted of two main invasions from Japan – the first in 1592 and 1593, and the second from 1597 to 1598.

| [[Image:Monument, Calton Hill Edinburgh.JPG|left|thumb|150px|{{#ifexist:Template:Monument, Calton Hill Edinburgh.JPG/credit|{{Monument, Calton Hill Edinburgh.JPG/credit}}<br/>|}}The National Monument to the Napoleonic Dead, on Calton Hill, Edinburgh, designed by Charles Robert Cockerell and William Henry Playfair, was modelled on the Parthenon in Athens. It is commonly believed that the monument was never finished, because the money for it ran out, and as a result, it has been called ''Edinburgh's Disgrace'' or ''Edinburgh's Folly.'' However, the unfinished look is exactly as the architects intended [http://uk.archiseek.com/scotland/edinburgh/caltonhill.html] | | |

| '''Edinburgh''' is the capital city of [[Scotland]] and home to the [[Scottish Parliament]]. In 2001, Edinburgh had a population of 448,624, and has since grown quite rapidly. | | |
| Edinburgh hosts the [[Edinburgh International Festival]] every August, as well as the [[Fringe]] festival, the largest festival of performing arts in the world. It has some of the most famous tourist sites in Britain, including [[Edinburgh Castle]], and attracts about 13 million tourists each year. Edinburgh also hosts the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the Edinburgh International Film Festival, as well as jazz, book and science festivals. Other notable events celebrated in Edinburgh include the Hogmanay street party (31 December), Burns Night (25 January), St. Andrew's Day (November 30), and the Beltane Fire Festival (30 April). Edinburgh's "Old Town" and "New Town" districts were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
