Why are so many European royal families German? (Short Animated Documentary)

Stroopwafels zijn inderdaad lekker.

Now i understand why Hitler though of German Empire

Why did the Japanese copy Prussia when they modernized?

Because masterrace

There were several chances for the King of England to be HRE, but they were turned down because it would have meant perpetual war with France, not good for the Empire. Also, Richard I had a chance to be forced into the ranks of the Electors of the HRE, but the other Electors didn’t want that because the Angevins would have been the most powerful Electors, again forever pissing of France.

Non of them have history

Wasn't written Elizabeth 2nd husband Prince Philip a prince from the house of Oldenburg..

Napoleon

Because England, Scotland, Wales, the Nordics, Germany, etc Al are all of the Germanic tribes.

lol Just a side fact here, the French are German, Germanic peoples of Europe is the largest ethnic group. France, English, Germany, Norway. Sweden, Denmark, Belgium etc.

So basically i 1914 we all got to war cause of family dispute💀

Portugal had a king in 1914 btw

They all Germanic jm

Er...have you heard of Scotland?

Most of these royal families can trace their lineage all the way back to James Bisonette

just take a look at a map of the holy roman empire

Germans are insatiable

Superior genes, duh

The dutch monarchy is also actually german

haha i was born and raised in Oldenburg, glad to see my little city has had a big influence in Europe 🤣

you forgot portugal

So no actual Germans then!

I came for the history but Boogly Woogly is the reason why I keep coming back !!! 😂😂😂😂

Thanks a lot for this easy to understand summery.

guys please know that we have all did evil (sin) and we are punished to death and since we do evil and reject God we will go to hell but God lovingly provides a way out through Christ where we can be saved if we trust in Gods work on the cross and turn from our sins with regret, tell your sins to God as Christ makes it possible for us to be forgiven (read John 3:16 pls)

I wonder who's their common (German) ancestor.
































...









Maybe James Bisonette?

Please dont count Bohemia as a german speaking land thank you

Only if you could pronounce those family names propperly 😂😂😂

Isnt Oranje *Nassau* Also german? if im right the dutch royal family is from german heritage

King Charles III of England is an Oldenburg

Roth Childz...

I like these videos, they bring awareness to not often talked about and interesting subjects

Otto's reign in Greece was shortlived, and only a couple decades later a new house was placed in Greece, which was also German, but unrelated to Otto's.

another brilliant and interesting clip - my only request is that the channel keep going with the English history video's thru the George 11 and onwards period. I consider your apolitical and objective presentation gives people the opportunity to learn new material and make our own decisions on what it all means. Once again - great work.

German crypto-jewish family.

So... a whole bunch of German duchies just spend a few centuries exporting monarchs.

I know your specialty is Europe, HM; but would you do a short on the Vikings in America?

nope habsburgs are jewish. be careful what you show. truth is very important. dont forget the jewish antipope ANACLETUS II, ANTIPOPE

Fun fact: Leopold I of Belgium was that original guy who said no to the Greek throne

because charlemagne's success

Luxemburg! Everybody forgets about Luxemburg!

French speaking parts of Europe unified? When?

Now I’m wondering why this isn’t the case with the Italians too, since they were late in the unification game also. Were the preceding Italian states too much of a threat?

Wasn’t Prince Philip German also

It ACTUALLY is.
the Island I'm on is at Bavaria/Poland.
Glasgow, Scotland is in Deutchland/Germany. The London I can't Go To is Just on the Polish Side.
The Island I'm on is between the Deutchland (Bavaria)/Polish Border and Danzig. There's Another London that I can Go to.
Its Closer to Danzig.

Spain had german ties as well... but tbh at some point they all married into each others family that they were all tied regardless...you possibly could trace it to a french family having influenced dozens of kingdoms as well 😂
