On the abdication of his brother [[Edward VIII]] in December 1936, the Duke of York became King George VI. He was crowned on May 12, 1937. In May and June 1939 the king and queen traveled across Canada to Vancouver and visited the United States. They were warmly received. President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] manipulated the visit to symbolize Anglo-American unity without stirring up the isolationists, to strengthen ties with Canada, to toughen British foreign policy, and to help make the British monarchy seem more human and democratic in American eyes.<ref> David Reynolds, "FDR's Foreign Policy and the British Royal Visit to the U.S.A., 1939."
