Edward VII (1841–1910) was King of the
United Kingdom and the
British Dominions and
Emperor of India from 1901 until his death. Before his accession to the throne, he held the title of
Prince of Wales for longer than anyone else in British history. During the long reign of his mother,
Queen Victoria, he was largely excluded from political power and came to personify the fashionable, leisured elite. The
Edwardian era, which covered Edward's reign and was named after him, coincided with the start of a new century and heralded significant changes in technology and society, including
powered flight and the rise of
socialism. Edward played a role in the modernisation of the
British Home Fleet, the reform of the
Army Medical Services, and the reorganisation of the British army after the
Second Boer War. He fostered good relations between Britain and other European countries, but his relationship with his nephew,
Wilhelm II of Germany, was poor. Edward presciently suspected that Wilhelm would precipitate a war, and four years after Edward's death, World War I brought an end to the Edwardian way of life. (
