King George VI

George VI (1895-1952) was King of Great Britain from 1936 to 1952. During his reign, the world experienced major changes, including a world war and political and technological transformation. He was the first king to visit the United States in an attempt to counter isolationist tendencies on the eve of the clash with the Third Reich. George VI was a symbol of the nation’s unity during the war, his spirit and courage helping to inspire hope and aid military efforts. He gained the public’s respect when he chose not to leave the city during German air raids on London, despite the fact that the royal palace was bombed nine times. During his reign, the British empire crumbled – Ireland, India, Iraq, Jordan, and Burma gained independence, while Palestine was divided into a Jewish and Arab state.
