George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 1910 through the First World War until his death in 1936. He was the grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the first cousin of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. From 1877 to 1891 he served in the Royal Navy. On his father's death in 1910 he succeeded as King-Emperor of the British Empire. He was the only Emperor of India to be present at his own Delhi Durbar. In 1917 he became the first monarch of the House of Windsor, renamed from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha due to anti-German public sentiment. As a result of the First World War, other European empires fell while Britain’s expanded to its greatest extent.
