Kaiser Wilhelm II, King George V, and Tsar Nicholas II: Cousins at War 

Yea

More like twins

Took me a while to figure out who is who but I can now tell them apart but they look almost identical until you get them figured out.

Also the eyes of King George are significantly lighter than Tsar Nicholas the second and the hair is slightly different

@@yashdiablo6969 agreed

Perhaps you "remember" something from some other time... I do too...

@@VendPrekmurec I think... I think I do, too. I... feel a great sense of loss, looking at these pictures. Makes me wonder what could have been.

I do too! Like heartbroken

Well technically Nicholas II went to war but he didn't fight. Also I get what you're trying to say.

IS Grant was in more wars and battles than the men he commanded. Get your facts straight.

@@Channelscruf was he a royal?

Exactly.

EXACTLY!!! how many times do you think they met drinking tea and laughing it up while all of Europe was killing or being killed.. And you want to tell me it's any different today? Same owners, different names

More, switching countries party.

@@glitched9050 lol good one

Yes, and I find Wilhelm II was quite handsome, too, in his younger years before he became the emperor.

Me too

Amen ☦️🙏🏻 i pray for Russia to become a Chriistian Empire again

yeah it was a gesture of goodwill on diplomatic affairs to wear the officers uniform of the state you were visiting

You are right, Russians are sons of th Eastern Empire in Constantinople and Germans are sons of the Western empire in Rome

You're not Europeans ,Russia is a country in Asia, and there is a huge huge difference between Russia and the united kingdom, English people are related to Germans they're literally the same nation under different flags

@@levent.a.7280 🤣😂whaaat??? Europe ends at the Ural mountains which could fit all of West Europe in it 3x and still have room.... That's like saying English people aren't Europeans cuz they're not connected to Europe 😂🤌 Russians are Europeans they are Slavic have you never seen the picture of king George V of England and tzar Nicholas the second? They could be twins... Prior to communism it was a well-established European empire prior to empire they were the Russ who are closely related to Scandinavians in terms of culture gods traditions ships and lifestyles... There are more blonde haired blue-eyed people in Russia then the rest of Europe put together.... The scientific term for white Europeans is Caucasian from the mountains of the Caucasus not Germanic or Latin or brittonian but specifically Caucasian the caucuses is in Russia. Frankly I'm very embarrassed for you right now.

@@marcuslegion3654 it has nothing to do with being blonde or blue eyed, many people from Turkey, Israel, Lebanon and other countries in the middle east are blonde and Blue eyed, does that mean they are also Europeans? Russia is a county in southern, northern and central Asia, it has absolutely zero connections to Europe, only Germans ,french , Scandinavians and English people are truly hundred percent Europeans

@@levent.a.7280 I'm literally shocked right now..... Russians are Slavic belonging to the European genetic pool... So by your understanding Europe goes from Ireland to Germany meaning no Poland no Czech Republic no Greeks no ukrainians no Italians no Russians.... Because none of those people are related to Scandinavians Germans or Brits?.... I'm honestly shocked..... If you count polish or ukrainians how do you exclude the Russians it's the same people they're Slavic.... 🤯🤯 You are aware Europe is more than just Germanic and britannian people's right there's Celtic Greeks Latin Slavic and Norse people's ...

@@marcuslegion3654 truly hundred percent European nations or counties are: Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the united kingdom, Italy ,Spain , Portugal, Ireland, and Iceland These European countries are very similar and share the same culture and History

If they switch each other uniform, it would be absolutely chaos to everyone, like who's who... Bet they will do those back in day as unintentionally prank

The tsar was from Prussia (germany)

@@Dankman3 Germans and Russians back then were close.

Actually I was amazed about how George and Nicholas on the one hand looked so similar while on the other hand it appears to me quite easy to say that Nichoas' face looks more Eastern while George's looks quite Western on most of the shots.

@@marcuslegion3654 so you're saying all white people look the same. That's racist

The kaiser can speak fluent English

Nicholas had a brilliant education and was fluent in 5 languages, Russian, English, German, French and Danish. He also visited Japan a lot, might have picked up on a few things. Nicholas' English was so good that his coutiers have said that he could pose as an Oxford professor and fool any Brit. He also only spoke English to his wife who oh so conveniently happened to be Queen Victoria's granddaughter.

all of them spoke good English

All of them had English royal lineage and spoke English..has the same grandparents.

Yes

Yes. Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh) was a closer relative to Tsar Nicholas, and his blood was used for the DNA identification of the Romanov family's remains. If I remember correctly Phillip's mother was a niece of Tsarina Alexandra.

King George and Tsar Nicholas' mothers were sisters. George's father and Kaiser Wilhelm's mother were brother and sister. Therefore, King George is first cousins with both the Tsar and Kaiser. The Tsar and Kaiser are distant cousins through Wilhelm the first. And cousins-in-law through Tsarina Alix who was the first cousin of the Kaiser.

????

The Russian Royal family, body, were fond, some years ago

The Rothschilds were their handlers, the true owners of their "governments" just as they are now

They weren’t. The Rothschilds openly said that they would let the Windsors sit on the throne of England as long as the Windsors remembered who controlled the purse strings. So King George was controlled by the Rosthchilds but he wasn’t one.

What do you expect from Hugo Boss?

@@cautionTosser I always expect the best from them

The WW1 wasn't about Nationalism, it was about different alliances, colonial lands and Germany wanting to be badass (that's the dumbified explanation ofc but nationalism wasn't in the table)

@@s_lasgalen so the killing of the Archduke was by a Nationalist? And what resulted at the end was the rise of Nationalism. Which in turn spurred the beginning of WWII?

@@Shinobi33 doesn't make the war about nationalism. There's a connection surely but it's more complicated than that. WW1 resulted in complete misery for Germany which THEN resulted in nationalistic ideas. I'm not saying Nationalism has absolutely nothing to do with the topic but the main causes for the war weren't of that kind. Also the assassination of Archduke of Austria was simply the event that started the war, not the longstanding reason behind it. It's like a bomb: the spark starts the explosion but someone had to put dynamite there in the first place.

@@s_lasgalen the war was absolutely about Nationalism. That's what stoked all the hatred for each other. A bunch of nations and people who had nothing in common but lived under the order and rule of these empires. Those uneasy alliances within these nations made it impossible for the uneasy alliances the empires had with other empires to work. So anything at all was gonna cause that tempest to explode over. The people forced great powers to fight each other. And since all ruling families were basically cousins (through centuries of inbreeding) they didn't want to fight, but had to. Sides were chosen as a way of surviving and holding on to whatever of their territories were left after the dust settled. Though there would be no going back to the old ways of dolling out land and ruling. Btw, the main catalyst of this was the industrial revolution

It was about making money for the famous baking families, depopulating the earth,and getting Russia back under freem@son control. Czar Alexander I banned freem@sonry in Russia, and Czar Nicholas was trying to implement a national Christian religion across the country.
