Historical background


GREAT-BRITAIN - GEORGE VI

(11/12/1936-6/02/1952)

Georges VI (14/12/1895-6/02/1952) is the youngest son of Georges V and Mary de Treck. He is the brother of Edward VIII who succeeded Georges V on January 20, 1936, but who was forced to abdicate the same year because he decided to marry Mrs Wallis Warfield Simpson, twice divorced, and because his Germanophilia displeases strongly to power circles in England. George VI has two daughters, Elisabeth and Margaret. During the Second World War, he was the symbol of English resistance to Nazism. After the war, in 1947 he had to ratify the independence of the Indian Empire which, after a horrible civil war, was divided to form India and Pakistan. He died of cancer in 1952.
