History: Following the Great Crash of 1929, the United Kingdom barely held itself and its Empire together, always tottering on the brink of the abyss despite secession of Canada in 1932. The fall came in 1936. The death of George V and the succession of Edward VIII went as smoothly as could be expected given the high level of public discontent, but the Abdication Crisis at the end of the year shattered the Empire. With the king's abdication the remaining loyal Dominions of Australia and New Zealand took the opportunity to sever their links to the Crown, as did the Irish Free State, and the Dominion of India erupted in rebellion whilst riots broke out across Britain. In the confusion the new King, George VI, and his eldest daughter Elizabeth died. Queen Elizabeth and the young Margaret were on a tour of South Africa at the time and upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Hertzog invited them to remain until the crisis was resolved.
By 1938 it became clear that a return to Britain would be impossible so the parliament of South Africa resolved to crown Margaret as Queen and established a regency council, consisting of the Queen Mother, the former Governor-General and the Cabinet, to rule the remnants of the once mighty British Empire. A new crown was forged, as the Crown Jewels could not be retrieved from London, and Margaret was crowned and granted the titles of the British monarchy, although most of them were now
de facto lost.
Since then South Africa has become an island of stability.
In 1940 the Queen is ten years old and the regency council heads the Empire. Under the Queen Mother's advice and social pressure from the black population many of the racist policies prior to the migration of the monarchy were reversed to appease the indigenous majority and prevent wide scale violence against the white minority.
