not a broad a question as you might think
King Charles III of the United Kingdom
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
King Felipe VI of Spain
King Phillippe of Belgium
Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany
Tsar Nicholas of Russia
are ALL descended both Queen Victoria and King Christian IX
its these same countries :
UK, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, Germany
thru their corporate arms like the
Dutch East India Company &
British East India Company
that had colonized much of Africa Asia & the Americas
Much of the 20th century had these same colonies fighting for independence &
then fighting each other because boundaries had been re drawn by the same colonial powers splitting the lands where communities had lived for many years before
Many if not all of these former colonies after independence had successfully elected presidents democratically. But because this happened during after World War 2 during the Cold War, the new world powers Russia and the US, often disrupted or destroyed the democratic systems already there & replaced the leadership with Revolutionaries (Russia) & military generals (USA)
