King George V or Tsar Nicholas II Photograph Quiz
Test your eye for royal history with this King George V or Tsar Nicholas II Photograph Quiz. King George V was King of the United Kingdom from 1910 until 1936, while Tsar Nicholas II was Emperor of Russia from 1894 until his abdication in 1917.

George and Nicholas were also closely related. They were first cousins through their mothers, Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom and Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia, who were sisters. Their family connection became even more striking because the two men looked remarkably alike. In many photographs, their similar facial features, beards, and royal or military uniforms can make them difficult to tell apart.
