Germany didn't exist as a "nation" until 1871. When Hitler rose to power, it had been in existence for less than 60 years.
WWI happened barely 40 years after the incorporation of Germany. And Kaiser Wilhelm and King George were first cousins and grandchildren of Queen Victoria, while Tsar Nicholas was married to their first cousin and was a fifth cousin himself from King Frederick of Prussia.
Half of Europe is STILL ruled by Queen Victoria's descendants. As much as they pretend to be "social democracies", they have kings and queens who "consult" with parliament daily, provide "guidance" over legislation, are provided wealth and special legal status, and generally act as royalty in every way outside of "officially" ruling the country.
