Queen Victoria had nine children and they married into different European royal houses. The most notable marriages among her children were her daughter Victoria married a future German Emperor (she was the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, of WWI infamy); her son Edward Prince of Wales married a Danish princess; her son Alfred married a Russian princess.
Her grandchildren included a German emperor, a Russian Empress, a Spanish queen, a Romanian queen, and of course an English King, as well as numerous minor royal players who were all affected directly by the fallout of World War I.

Слайд 21The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has four
historic parts: England with its capital in London, Scotland with its capital in Edinburgh, Wales with its capital in Cardiff and Northern Ireland with its capital in Belfast. The floral symbol of England is the RED ROSE. Earlier, it decorated the arms of the House of Lancaster. The Lancastrians argued for the throne of England with the Yorkists whose arms had a white rose.
The war for the throne between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists became known in the history of the country as the War of the Red and White Rose. It lasted 30 years (1455 — 1485). When the Lancastrians won the war, their arms of the Red Rose became the symbol of the whole England.
