it's not aboutthestone age or so. but bytheculturalinfluenceand development --> in british case with german royals whocontinuedthe developmentsignificantly and the windsors (sachsen coburg und gotha) are a german aristocratics and queen victoria are from "haus hannover" without this the british history is nothing and wouldhave been completely different (no empire, no worldwide naval power --> perhaps spain would be nr. 1 and usa ... full of of spanish people
60-80million inhabitantswith German origin in usa...
i mean this is very interesting and fascinating...
i see now at the moment the history of the european royals on tv -a documentation ?
the "father" of all european royal families -> leopold the I., first king of belgium 1831 (from royal house of Sachsen-Coburg).
the famous queen victoria (half german - her mother was also a royal from house sachsen-coburg but her father was edward-augustus from german royals house Hannover) was married with prince albert (sachsen-coburg) -> the nephew of Leopold the I., King of Belgium
before that there was an union between great britain and german royal house of hannover since 1710 or so. with the end of the throne of Victoria the house Hannover was over and the house sachsen-coburg takes it over
also the not less famous queen Elizabeth II. married with prince consort Philip (also a german royal house)
- with the exception of Monaco and the royal family of the Netherlands -
