Historical background


CANADA - GEORGE VI

(12/05/1937-6/02/1952)

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 George V on January 20, 1936, but who was forced to abdicate on December 11 of the same year because he had decided to marry Mrs Wallis Warfield Simpson, who had been divorced twice, and because that his Germanophilia strongly displeased the circles of power in England. Georges VI was crowned on May 12, 1837. He had two daughters, Elisabeth and Margaret. During the Second World War, it became 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.
