News of King George V's illness quickly spread to other nations and regions across Europe.
Although the British tried to block the news, King George V had not appeared in public for a long time, which inevitably raised suspicions among other nations.
After all, King George V was already 70 years old, an age that truly signaled the twilight years of life.
Unlike the British Government, which was more concerned with the succession to the throne, the rest of Europe was thinking about whether the change in the British monarchy would have a significant impact on the European situation to come.
Of course, those who were particularly interested in this issue were naturally the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, nations with immense ambition.
These two countries, donning the guise of monarchism, were extremist nationalist states that could hardly contain their urge to expand.
