#1) Who was president when queen elizabeth ii ascended to the throne
Answer: Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne at the age of 25, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952, and was proclaimed queen by her various privy and executive councils shortly afterwards. The coronation took place more than a year later because of the tradition that holding such a festival is inappropriate during the period of mourning that follows the death of a monarch. At the time of her asccession to the throne Harry S. Truman was currently the 33rd President of the United States of America.
