George VI of Britain

George VI (born Albert Frederick Arthur George, 1895–1952) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions from 11 December 1936 until his death. He was the last Emperor of India (until 1947) and the last King of Ireland (until 1949). He succeeded his brother, Edward VIII, who voluntary abdicated in 1936. Then Prince Albert reluctantly ascended, taking the regnal name "George VI" in an effort to reconnect with his late father. World War II took place during George's reign; while George's role in the military strategy appears to have been minimal, his refusal to leave London during the Battle of Britain and his public visibility did much for the morale of the British people.

The remaineder of George's reign saw the dissolution of the British Empire and the establishment of the British Commonwealth.

George VI in Worldwar
George VI reigned during the aborted World War II and the Race Invasion. Per the laws of the country, he left the oversight of Britain's diplomacy and defense to his prime minister, Winston Churchill.

After the Peace of Cairo, George's realm was substantially reduced, as India, Australia, and Britain's colonial possessions were ceded to the Race. Canada was still nominally a British Dominion, but the United States took the initiative in protecting Canada's independence.

While the Race understood that George VI was a titular "emperor" like theirs, they also understood that the prime minister, wielded the true power in Britain. Thus, George VI was deemed a "petty emperor".
