Disposed Royal Houses That Still Exist.
Throughout the 19th and 20th Century, the Old World, and parts of the New World, were once largely ruled by monarchs. Be it absolute or constitutional, these kings, queens, emperors, and empresses were regarded with admiration by their subjects. However at the end of First World War, and the subsequent Second, the vast majority of monarchies were largely done away with. From being disposed by government action or voted out of power by the people, these ancient ruling families saw their reigns come to an end.
