Hemophilia was a royal pain that changed the course of history. Throughout Europe, hemophilia directly affected the chains of succession in royal families and played a significant role in changing the forms of governments in some countries. Those changes in how different countries were governed changed the way they interacted with other countries around the world. For example, it is believed that the spread of hemophilia played a part in the rise of communism in Russia and the end of the monarchy in Spain for many years. The changes in Russia probably had the biggest impact on world history.
It all started when Queen Victoria of England took the throne. She passed the hemophilia gene down to the next generation of her children and grandchildren

There was internal bleeding accompanied by intense swelling and pain. His legs became paralyzed and his suffering lasted days. As his condition worsened, final drafts of his death were drawn up and his last rites administered. Meanwhile, a friend of Alexandra’s sent a cable to Rasputin asking him to pray for Alexei. Rasputin responded telling her that Alexei would not die and for the doctors not to bother him too much. The next day the hemorrhage stopped inexplicably. Alexandra was convinced that Rasputin had intervened a miracle with God. From that day on nothing could convince Alexandra to give up the belief that the welfare of her son depended only on following the advice of Rasputin. Soon after that event Rasputin had convinced Alexandra that the welfare of Russia and the continued existence of the autocracy also depended upon him. Rasputin’s control over the royal family was now …show more content…
Without Rasputin, Nicholas’ autocracy may have remained strong and the Bolshevik Revolution may not have occurred and there may never have been a communist Russia. The creation of communist Russia permanently changed the history of Russia and the World. For a long time, Russia tried to spread its belief in Communism around the world and the United States tried to stop it from spreading. The cold war between communist Russia and the United States resulted in many wars, such as the Vietnam and Korean wars, and changes in governments in countries throughout the world. It also changed the way people lived in many countries since they were always afraid of another world
One of the reasons for the Tsars downfall were the many mistakes that he made. Some of these mistakes was having Rasputin around so much, and letting him help and make import decisions that affected the Russian people. Having Rasputin make so many choices and the power he held over the Tsar made him seem weak and easily corruptible, which would have angered the Russian people.
Rasputin played a part in the fall of the royal family but he was not the main reason. The Tsar had no one to support and protect his family due to not seeing to civilians needs. The overthrow of the Tsarist government was the ending of the oppression and tyranny. Rasputin however did manipulate his ability to influence government decisions.
Although it was the Tsar’s actions that lead to many riots and fuelled the fire for revolution, he made those decisions because of the Tsarina and her influence. She had no political knowledge but that didn’t stop her from getting involved, she was a firm believer that the Tsar deserved his autocratic power and it was the will of God that he was in the position he was in. This belief led her to encourage him to ignore many people who could have potentially helped preserve the autocratic system by helping the Tsar make sensible decisions regarding the situation at hand. The fact that the Tsarina assumed an active political role later on and would often let Rasputin to get involved was a major factor in bringing about the fall of the Romanovs. She was unpopular as it was, but by attempting to make such big decisions without the advice of the Duma, she was in fact destroying the autocratic system rather than saving it as she thought she was doing. Not only did she continue to encourage the Tsar to ignore all others, she often undermined his authority by overruling decisions made by him. By getting involved in the way she did, she only further increased her own popularity but was also starting to unintentionally take the Tsar down with
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease in which blood lacks blood-clotting proteins. Females have two X chromosomes, indicating that they are generally carriers and transmit the gene to their sons. People with mild hemophilia bleed after surgery, injury, or trauma. Severe hemophilia produces spontaneous internal bleeding in joints and muscles. Fortunately, medicines and lifestyle changes offers hemophiliacs fairly normal lives. Through learning about hemophilia, I became interested in genetic diseases and finding a cure for those
Rasputin had a vital role in the downfall of the Romanov dynasty. Historians have disagrees on how Rasputin has been portrayed. There is also a debate as to what facts about Rasputin are true and which are novelty. This is a source of inquiry for many historians and books.

According to the CDC website, Hemophilia, is a hereditary bleeding disorder which affects mostly males due to X chromosome singularity. Hemophilia is a medical condition in which the blood clotting becomes a challenge for those affected. Symptoms include spontaneous bleeding from injuries or surgery. Blood contains many proteins called clotting factors that assist in blood coagulation, however; those individuals with hemophilia have low levels of either factor VIII or factor IX. The severity of the condition is determined by the amount of factor in the blood thus the lower the amount of the factor, the higher the chances that spontaneous bleeding will occur leading to more severe health complications.
Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn 't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins known as clotting factors. Hemophilia is an inherited (genetic) disorder. There 's no cure yet. But with proper treatment, most people with hemophilia can maintain an active, productive lifestyle. Hemophilia was recognized, though not named, in ancient times. The Talmud, a collection of Jewish Rabbinical writings from the 2nd century AD, stated that male babies did not have to be circumcised if two brothers had already died from the procedure.
THE PARANOIA AROUND THE RUSSIAN MYSTIC INFLUENCER GRIGORI EFIMOVICH RASPUTIN WAS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT LED TO THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. Rasputin was a Russian mystic/holy man who was close to the Tsar Nicolas II of Russia and his family from 1906-1916. It was believed that Rasputin had a special relationship with the Tsarina Alexandra Feodoronva and had some sort of influence over her decisions. Due to people's paranoia, they slowly distrusted, and subsequently overthrew, the Russian government under the Romanov Dynasty, which had ruled since 1613. This distrust and fear led way for the murder of the Tsar and his family. All this set into motion the development of the Soviet Union, Berlin Wall, and the Communist party.
Hemophilia is a hereditary and genetic mutation blood disease that does not have the ability to form a blood clot or coagulate from a small injury. The word hemophilia comes from two Greek words: haima - meaning blood and philia meaning to love. In order for the blood to clot properly, the plasma proteins also called factors need to be present in the blood. When the body forms antibodies to the clotting factors in the blood, it will stop the clotting factors from working. There are 13 types of clotting factors and they involve platelets to help the blood coagulate. Platelets also known as thrombocytes are small blood cells that form in your bone marrow to prevent blood loss by initiating a blood clot.
Hemophilia is the oldest known hereditary bleeding disorder. There are two types of hemophilia, A and B (Christmas Disease). Low levels or complete absence of a blood protein essential for clotting causes both. Patients with hemophilia A lack the blood clotting protein, factor VIII, and those with hemophilia B lack factor IX. A person with severe hemophilia has less than 1% of the normal amount of a clotting factor - either Factor VIII (8) or Factor IX (9). People without hemophilia have between 50-150% of the normal level of factor VIII or IX. There are about 20,000 hemophilia patients in the United States. Each year, about 400 babies are born with this disorder. Approximately 85% have hemophilia A and the remainder has hemophilia B.
Attention Getter: About 400,000 people are living with hemophilia, a rare blood disorder that causes blood to clot abnormally. Many of these people also develop HIV and AIDS, an immune deficiency. Even more shocking is the 78 million people living with HIV. All of these conditions are lifelong and fatal. Over 40 million people each year die of HIV or hemophilia. What 's even more terrifying is the amount of misinformation pertaining to these subjects, such as the difference between HIV and AIDs, and the causes of these conditions.
The 12th of August 1904 was a great event for the Romanov family, who were the last ruling dynasty of the Russian Empire – it was the birth of their long-awaited son Tsarevich Alexis, the successor to the Russian throne. Unfortunately, the sole heir was seriously ill with an incurable disease called hemophilia. Hemophilia is an inherited disease characterized by the inability to form blood clots properly. In other words, any minor cuts might be almost fatal for people, who suffer from this disease. The condition is passed on to males through females, who do not manifest the symptoms of the disease themselves. The Tsarevich Alexis inherited hemophilia from his mother, the tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, who was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Hemophilia is a problem with the blood in a person that causes them to bleed not any faster than normal, but they often bleed for a longer period. Their blood is missing the clotting factor (a protein in the bloodstream that works to control bleeding). Hemophilia is quite rare; roughly 1 in every 10,000 persons are born with it. Rarely, hemophilia can be an acquired disease which just means a person is not born with it, but will develop it during their lifetime. This rarity occurs when a person's immune system forms antibodies that attack the clotting factor in the blood. The entire antibody population fights against the blood to prevent the clotting factors from working properly.
Alexis Romanov, son of the Tsar Nicholas Romanov II had severe bleeding episodes which we now understand as Haemophilia- a single gene causing blood disorder. This gene was said to have originated from Queen Victoria, carried, and spread by her daughters to the Royal families of Prussia , Spain and Russia – which is how Alexis, the sole heir to the Russian throne , got it.
