Why the British Royal Crown Failed to Save the Romanovs

That the end of the Russian Empire brought about by Russian Revolution also resulted in the former Emperor’s execution now feels like an inevitability. However, though his monarchy was overthrown, Nicholas and his family were related to many other royal families, thanks to Queen Victoria’s habit of arranging marriages for her offspring across Europe.

In the 15 months from his abdication to his death, royal relations still in power debated if and how they should grant the family asylum, with many of the Romanov descendants believing King George V of England, the czar’s cousin and grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, could have saved them.

Would this have been a possibility, or were they doomed from the start? Here’s how the events unfolded leading up to their brutal deaths

The Nips did OK, and the Italians gained a lot of territory from Austria

Both Italy and Japan felt that as Allies in WWI, they got the short end of the stick, compared to the French and the British.

Poland was fine with Piłsudski, it’s what came after his passing that ultimately doomed Poland.

The only country who benefitted from WWI was the United States

The British and French empires, despite their many casualties, expanded following World War I. It was WWII, not WWI, that finished off these two empires.

As far as I can tell, the overthrow was part of a centuries-old conflict between Russia and the Khazars.

“Kaiser” is apparently derived from “Khazar.”

The Bolsheviks were mostly not Russians.

The deep state of that time and place were, as they are here and now, the descendants of the Khazars.

“The Bolshevik Revolution was revenge against Russia for its destruction of Khazaria in about 1250 AD. Approximately 80% of the Bolsheviks were godless Khazarians who raped, pillaged, tortured and murdered over 100 million non-Khazarian Russian citizens.”

“America has been infiltrated and hijacked by the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia, which is dead set on destroying the Christian and Deist Heritage of our Founding Fathers, along with our economy, borders, language, culture sex roles and marriage.”

“Khazarian history has been carefully excised from most libraries in the Western world and one must dig to find it. Fortunately, Solzhenitsyn documented a fair amount of Khazarian history before he died.”

The closest surviving person to the tzar was his mother, empress dowager Maria Feodorovna. She was the sister of Queen Alexandra of England, King Frederick of Denmark and King George of Greece. During the revolution she happened to be in Crimea, out of the reach of Bolsheviks.
She lived another 10 years, but felt unwelcomed in England, so eventually moved to her native Denmark.
Obviously English monarch did not like their Russian relatives.

“Kaiser” is the German spelling of “Caesar.” The Holy Roman emperors adopted that title around the tenth century.

Tonight is the 105th anniversary, of their executions.

I would call the killing of the czar and his family murders, not executions.

Nicky’s cousin, Der Kaiser is the one who allowed Lenin to enter Russia.

Transported across Europe in a sealed train "like a plague bacillus" to quote Churchill !

“And deep banking. Lenin got bank funding, needed money to pay for the revolution, irony eh?”

It was the Mensheviks that came to NYC in the 20’s and whose progeny have eaten out the guts of America.

The modern Jews are NOT Khazars. Genetic tests prove that.

The source you cite is an Antisemitic conspiracy page full of distortions and outright lies.

The rest of your rant is based on that rubbish.

The Khazars were a Turkic people whose kingdom dissolved around the middle of the tenth century following an attack by a Russian warlord, according to Lawrence Reed of the Foundation for Economic Education. By 1250, the Mongols ruled the region, the Russians were their vassals, and Khazars were long gone. I don't know of any Bolshevik who was descended from them.

“A lesson that wasn’t lost on us after WWII and our decision to keep Emperor Hirohito on the throne. Wise move.”

And one that many in DC never got over. They wanted Emperor Hirohito publicly humiliated and tried as a war criminal. Saner heads prevailed and the Emperor became a cornerstone of the occupation as he toured the country making public speeches exhorting the population to accept what had happened, to work hard.
This was a pivotal moment in the history of Japan. Never before had the average citizen heard the voice of the Emperor/god. Nor had anyone ever had the temerity to LOOK at the Emperor for to do so was to invite death from the heavens.
I have to give it to Hirohito, he made the occupation the success that it was.

Short term better for the Finns than the Poles. Long term, the Poles have a pretty good chunk of what had been Germany, and the Finns aren’t under the control of Russia.
