Her reign saw many turning points in both Dutch and world history: World War I, and World War II, and the Great Crisis of 1933. She is mostly remembered for her role in the Second World War, in which she would prove to be a great inspiration to the Dutch resistance, as well as a prominent leader of the Dutch government, which was in exile.
