He isn't Egyptian? Are you telling me they lied to me in The Highlander? You'll be telling me Christopher Lambert isn't Scottish next.

Would that be Omar Sharif?
I don’t know that he’s Egyptian, but it’s a fair guess

Who wrote Dr. Zhivago?
(Omar Sharif played the title role in the film, so it’s relevant)

good guess. but the crimean war was little earlier in the 19th century ce.
Prop wrote:First World War, wasn’t it? Tsar Nicholas and all that.
bad luck. you're thinking of the october revolution of 1917 which finally toppled the tsar's regime, twelve years after the first revolution started the long process.
Raphael98 wrote:Complete guess, the Russo-Japanese war?
it's a good guess, being correct! fought in 1904-5 between the tsarist russian empire and the meiji japanese.
