George  V
(George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was
King of the United Kingdom
and the
British Dominions
, and
Emperor of India
, from 6 May 1910 until his  death in 1936.
He was the second son of
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales
(later King  Edward VII), and the grandson of the reigning British monarch,
Queen Victoria
. From the time of his birth, he  was third in the
line of succession
behind his father and his  elder brother,
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale
.  From 1877 to 1891, George served in the
Royal Navy
, until the unexpected death of his  elder brother in early 1892 put him directly in line for the throne. On the  death of his grandmother in 1901, George's father became
King-Emperor
of the
British Empire
, and George was created
Prince of Wales
. He succeeded his father in  1910. He was the only Emperor of India to be present at his own
Delhi Durbar
.
His reign saw the rise of
socialism
,
communism
,
fascism
,
Irish republicanism
, and the
Indian independence movement
, all of which  radically changed the political landscape. The
Parliament Act 1911
established the supremacy  of the elected
British House of Commons
over the unelected
House of Lords
. As a result of the
First World War
(1914–18) the empires of his  first cousins
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
and
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany
fell while the  British Empire expanded to its greatest effective extent. In 1917, George became  the first monarch of the
House of Windsor
, which he renamed from the
House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
as a result of  anti-German public sentiment. In 1924 he appointed the first
Labour
ministry
and in 1931 the
Statute of Westminster
recognised the dominions  of the Empire as separate, independent states within the
Commonwealth of Nations
. He was plagued by  illness throughout much of his later reign and at his death was succeeded by his  eldest son,
Edward VIII
.
Great  Britain
, also known as
Britain
, is an island in the
North Atlantic
off the north-west coast of
continental Europe
. With an area of 209,331 km
2
(80,823 sq mi), it is the
largest island in Europe
and the
ninth-largest in the world
. In 2011 the island  had a population of about 61 million people, making it the
third-most populous island
in the world, after
Java
in
Indonesia
and
Honshu
in
Japan
. The island is the largest in the
British Isles
archipelago
, which also includes the island of
Ireland
to its west and over
1,000 smaller surrounding islands
.
The island is dominated by an
oceanic climate
with quite narrow temperature  differences between seasons. Politically, the island is part of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
,  constituting most of its territory: most of
England
,
Scotland
, and
Wales
are on the island, with their respective  capital cities,
London
,
Edinburgh
, and
Cardiff
. The term Great Britain often extends  to include surrounding islands that form part of England, Scotland, and Wales.
A single
Kingdom of Great Britain
resulted from the
Union
of
Scotland
and
England
(which already comprised the  present-day countries of
England
and
Wales
) in 1707. More than a hundred years  before, in 1603,
King James VI
,
King of Scots
, had inherited the throne of  England, but it was not until 1707 that the Parliaments of the two countries  agreed to form a unified state. In 1801, Great Britain
united
with the neighboring
Kingdom of Ireland
, forming the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
,  which was renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland after  the
Irish Free State
seceded in 1922.
