"There are few monarchies that actually responded properly to this change though and, many, effectively dug their own graves."
my understanding is this is how Spain fell from a world power. they couldn't reconcile aristocratic power with the financial realities of the world was changing. they just couldn't modernize their society to deal with how reality was changing.
earlier than that tho.. got to admire their solution to the jewish infiltration problem. pretty effective.
Russia is another example. The constant infighting between russias nobility and... everyone else led to Russia being unable to industrialize properly, everyone getting fucked, basically, jews smelling blood in the water, and then a communist revolution.
But with how the Russian empire and its nobility were conducting themselves, and with the entry into ww1, something violent would have happened in the country even if jews had never existed. Most of the white army didn't even like the monarchy or the aristocracy. Kolchak would have been installed as dictator if they had won and the monarchy would still have been dead and gone. Maybe its members would be doing well in Russia, but they were never going to he in power again.
