Kabila’s regime, which began in 1997 after he overthrew Mobutu Sese Seko, was characterized by efforts to rebuild the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) after decades of dictatorship. His government sought to restore national sovereignty, but faced internal conflict and external pressures, particularly during the Second Congo War.

George VI (1895–1952) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 1936 until his death in 1952. Originally named Albert Frederick Arthur George, he became king unexpectedly after the abdication of his elder brother, Edward VIII, who chose love over the throne. Known affectionately as "Bertie" within the royal family, George VI led Britain through the tumultuous years of World War II, becoming a symbol of stability and resilience during challenging times. With his wife, Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother), by his side, he supported British morale, making visits to bombed cities and staying in London during the Blitz. George VI faced a speech impediment but worked to overcome it, a journey depicted in the acclaimed film The King’s Speech. His reign marked the transition of the British Empire into the Commonwealth, as colonies gained independence post-war.
