George V had a career in the Royal Navy before unexpectedly becoming third in line for the British throne. He was later created Prince of Wales upon his father’s ascension. As king-emperor, he witnessed significant political changes, such as the rise of socialism, communism, fascism, Irish republicanism, and the Indian independence movement. His reign oversaw the expansion of the British Empire and the establishment of the House of Windsor. George appointed the first Labour ministry and played a crucial role in recognizing the Empire’s Dominions as independent states.
