Synthwave tribute to the German soldiers of WWI made in the same style as Retrostein's video.

Music: Perturbator - Behemoth

A little history: Neither Germany nor Kaiser Wilhelm II were the villains of the War, contrary to propaganda to the contrary. The Kaiser was a rather tragic figure, both King George V and Tsar Nicholas II were his cousins and felt personally betrayed that they allied against him. He was very pious, adored his grandmother, Queen Victoria, and very much believed in nationalism and the Divine Right of Kings.

After he was deposed at the end of WWI, he lived out the rest of his life in exile in the Netherlands, despising all the governments that came to power in Germany thereafter.

Ko e fasi ʻo e tuʻi ʻo e ʻOtu Tonga (Song of the King of the Tongan Islands) or more casually referred to as the Fasi Fakafonua (National Song) is the Tongan national anthem. It's melody was composed by Karl Gustavus Schmitt and its lyrics by Prince Uelingatoni Ngū Tupoumalohi in 1874.

Tonga is unique in that it is the last native monarchy of the Pacific Islands as its monarchs managed to be seen as diplomatic equals to the European rulers and avoid colonisation.

A song mourning the loss of the Portuguese monarchy, following Manuel II being deposed in 1910.

King Manuel II was greatly loved by his people and the republicans were very unpopular winning the least number of seats in the elections during his reign. But being the hypocrites they were, they would have their way even if it meant ironically doing so by undemocratic means. While they were not popular, they were very powerful having been able to cause several military units to mutiny. Even so, when the revolution came, it was by no means clear it would be successful. It was only a huge misunderstanding that ended up having people believe the royalist forces had surrendered that gave the revolutionaries the victory they needed.

The king then left for England having had a one-and-only chance to escape by the royal yacht at the Praia dos Pescadores (Fisherman's Beach) in the seaside town of Ericeira. I picked the picture that I did as I imagined it to be like an aftermath to the king's escape, although it was completed 2 years before the Revolution happened.

The song is performed by José Campos e Sousa, who also did the Deus, Pátria, Rei song that is quite popular among monarchist channels. He is actually a very outspoken monarchist and if I can find them, I'll post more of his monarchist pieces.

I should also apologise as this song is a poem and I haven't done it justice in translating it as I don't know a word of Portuguese and had to work off the Pidgin English of Google Translate as well as the words I recognised from my basic understanding of Spanish. If you are a Portuguese speaker and can give a better translation of the lyrics then please let me know as I would like to update the video with better lyrics.

Francisco Franco Bahamonde ruled Spain as dictator from 1939–1975 following the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War.

The international press and academia have made no secret of their contempt towards the man as was made clear by their applauding of the desecration of his corpse in 2019 by orders of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

Consistent treatment is never given with the Communists whom Franco was fighting against. The first Prime Minister of the Second Spanish Republic was Manuel Azana, an atheist who immediately began trying to eradicate Christianity from Spain following the example of Mexico and Russia. In a matter of mere months the Spanish Republic had more people put to death than the allegedly harsh Spanish Inquisition had done in all the centuries it had operated.

And, whereas Franco refused to surrender Spanish independence in foreign policy or any other area in return for assistance (he refused to join the Axis powers in WWII despite being his former benefactors), the republican government completely sold out Spain and the Spanish people – signing away no less than two-thirds of the entire Spanish gold reserve to the Soviet Union in exchange for their support in the war.

Anyone inclined to sympathise with the republicans should note that there would have been no Franco without the republic. It was their overthrow of the monarchy, their divisive policies and outright oppression that made it possible for a man like Franco to dominate Spain and, to the eyes of many, made a man like Franco necessary.
