George 
V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was
King of the United Kingdom
and the
British Dominions
, and
Emperor of India
, from 6 May 1910 until his 
death in 1936.

He was the second son of
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales
(later King 
Edward VII), and the grandson of the reigning British monarch,
Queen Victoria
. From the time of his birth, he 
was third in the
line of succession
behind his father and his 
elder brother,
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale
. 
From 1877 to 1891, George served in the
Royal Navy
, until the unexpected death of his 
elder brother in early 1892 put him directly in line for the throne. On the 
death of his grandmother in 1901, George’s father became
King-Emperor
of the
British Empire
, and George was created
Prince of Wales
. He succeeded his father in 
1910. He was the only Emperor of India to be present at his own
Delhi Durbar
.

His reign saw the rise of
socialism
,
communism
,
fascism
,
Irish republicanism
, and the
Indian independence movement
, all of which 
radically changed the political landscape. The
Parliament Act 1911
established the supremacy 
of the elected
British House of Commons
over the unelected
House of Lords
. As a result of the
First World War
(1914–18) the empires of his 
first cousins
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
and
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany
fell while the 
British Empire expanded to its greatest effective extent. In 1917, George became 
the first monarch of the
House of Windsor
, which he renamed from the
House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
as a result of 
anti-German public sentiment. In 1924 he appointed the first
Labour

ministry
and in 1931 the
Statute of Westminster
recognised the dominions 
of the Empire as separate, independent states within the
Commonwealth of Nations
. He was plagued by 
illness throughout much of his later reign and at his death was succeeded by his 
eldest son,
Edward VIII
.

Canada 
is a country, consisting of
ten provinces and t
hree 
territories, in the northern part of the continent of North America. 
It extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, 
covering 9.98 million square kilometres (3.85 million square miles) in total, 
making it the world’s
second-largest country by total area
and the
fourth-largest country by land area
. Canada’s
common border with the United States
forms the 
world’s longest land border. Canada is sparsely populated overall, the majority 
of its land territory being dominated by
forest
and
tundra
as well as the mountain range of the
Rocky Mountains
; about four-fifths of the 
population live near to the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold 
or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.

The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various
Aboriginal peoples
. Beginning in the late 15th 
century,
British
and
French colonies
were established on the 
region’s Atlantic coast. As a consequence of
various conflicts
, the United Kingdom gained 
and lost North American territories until left, in the late 18th century, with 
what mostly comprises Canada today. Pursuant to the
British North America Act
, on July 1, 1867, 
three colonies
joined
to form the autonomous
federal Dominion
of Canada. This began an
accretion
of provinces and territories to the 
new self-governing
Dominion
. In 1931, Britain granted Canada near 
total independence with the
Statute of Westminster 1931
and full 
sovereignty was attained when the
Canada Act 1982
severed the vestiges of legal 
dependence on the
British parliament
.

Canada is a
federal

parliamentary democracy
and a
constitutional monarchy
, Queen
Elizabeth II
being the current head of state. 
The country is
officially bilingual
at the federal level. It 
is one of the world’s most ethnically diverse and
multicultural
nations, the product of 
large-scale immigration from many countries, with a population of approximately 
35 million as of 2015. Its advanced economy is
the eleventh largest in the world
, relying 
chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international 
trade networks. Canada’s
long and complex relationship
with the United 
States has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.

Canada is a
developed country
and one of the wealthiest in 
the world, with the
tenth highest
nominal per capita income 
globally, and the
eighth highest
ranking in the
Human Development Index
. It
ranks among the highest
in international 
measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, 
economic freedom, and education. Canada is a
Commonwealth Realm
member of the
Commonwealth of Nations
, a member of the
Francophonie
, and part of several major 
international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the

North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the
G8
, the
Group of Ten
, the
G20
, the
North American Free Trade Agreement
and the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
forum.
