Correct!... Now what was in that letter that made Einstein so penitent?
He convinced President Roosevelt of the need to develop the Atomic bomb before the Germans, which lead to the Manhatten Project and eventually the bomb.....and in doing so it can be argued Einstein abandoned his pacifism
A new one for ya.....
"Without a doubt I was one of the cruelest conquerors in history. I also had eye for beauty in arts, muslim arts that is. The largest Qur´an ever made was manufactured on my order; architects were given free hands to build monuments for me.
I conquered most of the area that used to be the Persian empire. Some cities taken over by my troops were completely demolished, at some places I ordered pyramids to be built of skulls of beheaded inhabitants.
About 600 years after my death Soviet anthropologists exhumed me from my tomb, therefore it is known what I really looked like."
Good guess but you have to go further east than Moscow.

Who am I?
I had a set of Islands named after me which still to this day fly the Union Jack as part of their flag dispite not being a member of the British Commonwealth ... (well they did last time I was there).
Plus; Today there is a Multi £million catering industry dedicated to selling my invention.
All the Best
