Profile
Edward VII was born in London, England, on November 9, 1841, and became king upon the death of his mother, Queen Victoria, in 1901. A popular member of social and sporting circles, Edward VII strengthened England's ties with the rest of Europe, although his relationship with Germany's emperor—his nephew—was rocky. His reforms of the military and navy well prepared them for World War I, which began four years after his death.
