If you learn the history of strategy, you will be able to apply it to leadership and negotiation techniques (p5)
・Successive female emperors of Japan were “successors” in a sense; instead of being succeeded by their own son, they took the heir, for example, a younger brother, etc. Thus, the male line was not interrupted. In response to this, the female emperor became the “emperor who inherited the emperor's duel from his mother's side,” so the Mansei family was completely interrupted, and the first dynasty change in Japan occurred (p24)
・The reasons why the Imperial Family continued for 126 to 2700 years are 1) the role played by the emperor, inheriting the wife and wife of the Imperial Court and always praying for the happiness of the people, 2) it has given legitimacy to those who hold power, 3) it has almost no history of being controlled by other countries, and 4) it was supported by the Japanese people (p30)

・Since Yugoslavia had repelled the Nazis on its own, the influence of the Soviet Union was not relatively strong compared to other Eastern European countries. At that time, President Tito promoted the socialization of Yugoslavia and emphasized cooperation with the Soviet Union, but in the end, he chose his own socialist line and the confrontation with the Soviet Union deepened. Yugoslavia did not belong to either side of the East and West Cold War and grew its presence as a central country in the “Third World” (p85)

・In China's Yisho Revolution, there is a supreme entity called “the Emperor” in China, and the person who controls the land and people of China in response to that store name is called “Tenshi.” However, when Tenshi did evil and lost his virtue, Tenshi changed his destiny (revolution) and another virtuous person became Tenshi, and the surnames of those involved were easy (easy surname). For example, in the Sui Dynasty, “Yang” was Tenshi, but it changed to Tang of the Li clan (p147)

・ In 1922, the four republics of Russia, Ukraine, Berlaj, and Transcaucasia formed a federation to form the Soviet Union. However, in effect, Russia controlled other countries (p181)
・Water resources are secured as a reason why China will not let go of Tibet, and Tibet is a water source for many major rivers such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Mekong River, and the Ganges River.
