The idiom "place in the sun" is traceable to a speech made on December 6, 1897, at the Imperial Diet by the German statesman Bernhard von Bülow, who had just been appointed Foreign Secretary. In the speech, he stated, "We desire to throw no one into the shade, but we also demand our own place in the sunlight." This phrase was later published in The Times (London) on January 7, 1898, in the context of Germany's acquisition of sovereign rights over Jiaozhou Bay from China. The idiom has since been used to refer to a prominent or favorable position, and it is associated with a dominant or favorable situation
