1907 - Rasputin and the Romanovs
Rasputin was a Russian mystic with an influence in the latter days of the Romanov dynasty in Russia. He was believed to have been a psychic and faith healer and though he can be considered one of the more controversial characters in 20th century history, Rasputin is viewed by most historians today as a scapegoat. He played a small but extremely pivotal role in the downfall of the Romanov dynasty that finally led to Bolshevik victory and the establishment of the Soviet Union. Rasputin played an important role in the lives of the Tsar Nicholas II, his wife, the Alexandra and their only son, the Tsarevitch Alexei, who was a haemophiliac. Tsarina Alexandra thought that their son was kept from death by Rasputin.

United Kingdom, London
1909 - Suffragette Demonstrations: Women battle for equal rights
The campaign for women"s suffrage was intensified by the founding of the Women"s Social and Political Union. The WSPU - associated particularly with Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia - was far more militant than the National Union of Women"s Suffrage Societies, led by Milicent Garrett Fawcett. WSPU members, known as "suffragettes", became increasingly violent in the years before World War One, as successive governments failed to reform the voting laws. The harsh manner in which imprisoned suffragettes were treated, including forcible feeding of women on hunger strike, contributed to the growing public sympathy for the cause of women"s suffrage (in tandem with imaginative - and legal - campaigning of the moderate NUWSS).

1913 - The last German Kaiser: Emperor Wilhelm II
Wilhelm II of Prussia and Germany, Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Hohenzollern was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and the last King (König) of Prussia from 1888 - 1918. His rule was noted for his militaristic push to assert German power. He sought to expand German colonial holdings, finding "a place in the sun." Under the Tirpitz Plan, through the Naval Bills of 1897 and 1900, the German navy was built up to contend with that of the United Kingdom. His personality and policies oscillated between antagonizing and amusing to Britain, France, and Russia. He dismissed Otto von Bismarck in 1890 and abandoned the Chancellor.
