Episode 02: Bloodlines & Revolution

Before the Russian Revolution, Europe's most powerful monarchs were one family. King George V of Britain, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia were all grandchildren of Queen Victoria, bound by blood but divided by war. As World War I shattered their empires, the fate of the Romanovs became intertwined with the future of Europe itself. Did those family ties end with Nicholas's reported execution, or did they inspire a secret effort to save the last Tsar? Episode Two explores the royal relationships that may have changed history forever.
