George V

Monarch

George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936. His reign saw the rise of socialism, communism, fascism, Irish republicanism, and the Indian independence movement, which radically changed the British Empire's political landscape. He was the first monarch of the House of Windsor, which he renamed from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha due to anti-German public sentiment during World War I. Known for his serious demeanor and dedication to duty, he successfully navigated the nation through the turmoil of the First World War and the subsequent global economic crisis.
