The Rothschilds: Europe’s Jewish Banking Dynasty

“As rich as a Rothschild” was a common saying in the gilded age. Their rags to riches story reads like many other great modern financial dynasties; a brilliant founder who forged a fortune and future generations who squandered it on eccentricities. But the Rothschilds have a few interesting twists; The Patriarch’s five sons were sent across Europe to establish their own banking dynasties. They explicitly excluded their sisters and daughters from the business, and inbred extensively to keep their wealth intact. And the Rothschilds were uniquely vilified because they were Jewish. They were targeted by the Nazis and saw much of their art, palaces and cash stolen. And they continue to inspire conspiracy theories which claim they secretly control the world. Let’s uncover the true story of the Rothschilds. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
