Tribhuvan

Tribhuvan was the king of Nepal from 1911 to 1955, reigning during a period of significant political change. Initially, Nepal was dominated by the Rana family, who held hereditary prime ministerial power, reducing the Shah king to an honorary position.12

In 1950, Tribhuvan, along with the royal family, supported a revolution against the Rana regime. This led to the restoration of the monarchy's sovereignty, with King Tribhuvan regaining his position as the head of state. His son, Mahendra, succeeded him in 1955, and Mahendra's son, Birendra, became king in 1972. Birendra navigated Nepal through a transition to a constitutional monarchy with a multiparty parliamentary system in the early 1990s.12345
