If you're looking for names of famous people, go to "Google" pick the name of a country and add "history" and you should get sites about the history of that country. There should be plenty of names to pick.

Just look on wikipedia or some other website for these names and terms.  You'll find them faster yourself than someone else finding them for you and transferring them to you.  These facts should be fairly easy to search for quickly.
