History about the commemoration
French domination of the Maltese islands was brief and turbulent. His arrival in 1798 promised otherwise, as Napoleon and his troops were initially well received by the Maltese. However, this was due more to a growing dislike of the incumbent rulers, the Order of Saint John, than to any real affection for France's revolutionary ideals.
The invasion of Malta by Napoleon Bonaparte was part of a strategic plan to conquer Egypt and later India and the colonies of the British Empire in the Far East. Eager to control Malta's massive fortifications and harbors, Napoleon managed to win over several knights and Maltese to his side.
They passed on information and were willing to help promote a popular movement against the Order of Saint John and its aristocratic style of government. The lack of material, the traitorous captains and the general confusion, led to the capitulation of the Order in a few days. The Maltese Islands became another jewel in Napoleon's crown.
The sweeping reforms introduced by the new rulers proved excessive in the eyes of the locals, who remained largely dominated by and loyal to two institutions, the aristocracy and the Church. Both the nobles and the general population began to see the Napoleonic laws as an attack on their beloved Church and a threat to their traditional way of life.
Within three months of the French takeover, the Maltese revolted and forced the occupiers to retreat behind the fortifications of Valletta and the Three Cities. They remained there until September 1800, when they capitulated to the British forces that had been called in to help the Maltese win their freedom. The British fleet entered Grand Harbor, marking the beginning of a century and a half of British rule.

550th Anniversary of the birth of Nicholas Copernicus
About the character
Nicholas Copernicus was born in Toruń on February 19, 1473 into a wealthy family. He was a prominent astronomer, creator of the heliocentric theory, physician, economist, and faithful subject of the Polish kings.
Copernicus' most important work was "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" (On the Rotations of the Celestial Bodies). It is believed that he began writing it in 1514 and finished it around 1530. Its publication was delayed for quite some time, until it was published in 1543 thanks to the efforts of the Germans.
Shortly after, on May 24, 1543, Copernicus died. However, it was after his death that Copernicus became famous throughout Europe. However, it was a long time before the Copernican heliocentric theory became widely accepted. In 1588, Tycho Brahe proposed an alternative system in which the other planets orbited the Sun and the Sun orbited the Earth. However, by the middle of the seventeenth century, the Copernican theory enjoyed general acceptance.
