ctually Most European Monarchies became Republics after WWI largely because of American Influence in the post war negotiations, the irony would be if Russia had not become communist, the Russians would likely have prevented the axis powers from losing or weakening their monarchies after they lost. They'd still pay reparations out the wazoo though.

You're half right, although if the industrial age has shown us anything, its that even populations that became more and more educated still preferred monarchies

As I recall, the UK's monarchy costs each British citizen something like 2 pence per year to support. Meanwhile, they bring in millions in tourism each year,

Ireland's president is useless to the same extent as the Queen and does not generate a fraction of the revenue nor the cultural importance, should we abolish her as well?
