Answer:
A smile. It's kinda hard not to blink.
The government had agreed to stop funding Shinto, which those they made the treaty with hoped this would take power away from the Emperor. So Shinto became more of a culture thing instead of a religious thing.
As I recall it was rolled-steel girders riveted together, probably from shipbuilding, together with steam-powered winches and an abundance of cheap steel. As opposed to European cathedrals erected with animal-powered winches and with more expensive forged iron bracing (one of the big cathedrals has a kind or iron corset to keep the walls from bursting outwards).
Well with this question it would have to come from your thoughts, and who you would pick.
The nationalist lead for me I would pick is Nelson Mandela. Mandela was a hero, and a true inspiration to the world. He believed everything should be equal and that color shouldn't define who a person is. Mandela sacrificed a lot such as being sentenced to 27 years in prison for his actions to overthrow the government. Through all that he suffered he never felt the need to get revenge. His heart was full for the people. For his bravery, love, compassion, and heroism I would choose him.
