Well, there were still monarchies in the early 1900’s and by then they had gotten a little incestual, sometimes literally but for the most part all the royals were related in Germany and it’s surrounding areas. However there was a lot of strife as monarchies were failing their people in various different ways, leading to a lot of resentment growing between the common people and their monarchs, and between different monarchs, but because many of them were related and close nobody wanted to fight each other.

The reason it became global was a result of centuries of colonization.
