Edward VIII – The Man Who Would Be King

Edward the VIII, King of England and Germanophile, was forced to abdicate on December 11th, 1936. He died in Paris, France, at age 77 in 1972 with his wife Wallis Simpson and no children. The reasons for his abdication are disputed, but the two most common are his involvement with the divorcee (and American) Simpson, and his admiration for the German system and its economic revival under Adolf Hitler. Before and during the war, he sought to make peace between Britain and Germany, but to the war and financial powers that ruled, he was a threat to their desire to finish the Germans once and for all.
