'''George VI''' (Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor) became King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions on December 11, 1936 after his older brother, Edward VIII abdicated the throne. His Majesty George VI reigned as king through WWII, and is known for boosting national moral by refusing to leave London for safer lodging. In the years after WWII his health began to deteriorate, perhaps due to a combination of stress and excessive smoking. In 1951 a malignant tumor was found on one lung, and both the tumor and the lung were removed in the fall of that year. King George VI slowly regained his strength, then quietly passed away in his sleep on February 8, 1952. | '''George VI''' (Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor) became King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions on December 11, 1936 after his older brother, Edward VIII abdicated the throne.
