George V went to war with his cousins
Queen Victoria looks on as her grandchildren fight in one of their earlier, less bloody wars. Image generated by DALL-E.
Queen Victoria, often referred to as the "Grandmother of Europe," had a profound and somewhat tragic influence on the early 20th-century European political landscape through her grandchildren. George V of the United Kingdom, Nicholas II of Russia, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany were all her grandsons, bound together by familial ties but driven apart by the complex dynamics of international politics. Despite their shared lineage, these three monarchs found themselves on opposing sides during World War I, a conflict that marked a significant turning point in world history. This war, often described as a family feud on an immense scale, highlighted the intricate and often conflicting relationship between royal familial bonds and national allegiances. Their involvement in the war serves as a poignant reminder of how personal relationships can be overshadowed by the larger forces of nationalism and geopolitical strife.
