George V

George V reigned as King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India from 1910 to 1936. His rule spanned critical events in global history, including World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression. Under his reign, significant changes to the monarchy occurred, including the 1917 decision to relinquish German titles and adopt the surname "Windsor" amidst anti-German sentiment. The 1931 Statute of Westminster also emerged during his time, which recognized the legislative independence of the Dominions. As a monarch, George V sought to project an image of stability, duty, and tradition amidst a rapidly changing world, and he was deeply involved in the efforts to support troops and boost morale during the war. His Silver Jubilee in 1935 was widely celebrated, reflecting his popularity and the nation's appreciation for his steadfast leadership during tumultuous times.
