About this listen
Bloodlines and Battlefields: The Family Ties Behind WWI
What happens when three royal cousins, each ruling a global superpower, let their family drama spiral out of control? World War I, apparently. King George V of Britain, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia were more than just world leaders—they were family. But instead of holiday dinners, they ended up dragging the world into one of the deadliest wars in history.
Key Topics Covered:
- How Queen Victoria’s grandkids ended up ruling half of Europe
- The complicated (and messy) relationships between George, Wilhelm, and Nicholas
- How petty rivalries and power struggles helped spark WWI
- The letters they sent each other before the war—and why they didn’t work
- The downfall of the Romanovs, the fall of empires, and how this war changed everything
Turns out, keeping it in the family isn’t always a good thing. Grab your tea, because this history gossip is wild.
