We’ve followed Georgy Kuleshov’s project since its start — and the new episode is a must-see. World War I through the fates of emperors who were relatives: Nicholas II, Wilhelm II, and George V. They met, wrote letters, vacationed together — called each other “Willy,” “Nikki,” “Georgie.” Soon after, they led nations into history’s deadliest war. Could they have stopped it? When did events overtake them? How did a war among kings end the old European order? This powerful episode reveals royal family ties, private letters, archival footage, maps, and rare documents.
