Genghis Khan
Depending on where in the world people are from, their perceptions of Khan may differ. The Mongolians view him as one of their best leaders, while China views him as a ethnic minority hero. People from Iran and Iraq have a more negative view of his accomplishments; they see him as a destructive force who caused great amounts of damage in their countries during his reign.

Iwo Jima
The photo was not only memorialized by the memorial sculpting, but over the years has been used in countless way from appearing on postage stamps to American propaganda films. It is perhaps as identifiable an image of World War II as any in signifying the spirit and drive of the American soldiers and sailors during the war effort.
It has also been used in countless films and other entertainment medium. Perhaps it is best known for the best selling book written by John Bradley's son James, which was turned into the Clint Eastwood-directed 2006 film Flags of Our Fathers.
It also spurned maybe the most poignant image of the September 11th Terrorist Attacks on New York City in 2001 when Bergen Record photographer Thomas E. Franklin snapped a photo of several firefighters raising an American flag amidst the rubble of debris that formerly was the World Trade Center.
