@classichistoryposting: WWI Drip Context: The nine kings of Europe photographed together in 1910 were assembled for the funeral of Edward VII of Britain. Made as a rare gathering rather than a common occurrence, the group included monarchs from Norway, Bulgaria, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Britain, and Denmark, most bound together by close family ties through Queen Victoria's descendants. Within four years, several of these same kingdoms would find themselves on opposing sides of the First World War. #History #historymeme #historymemes #meme #memes
