Editor's Take:

Queen Anne presided over a turning point in British history. Her armies, led by the Duke of Marlborough, won major victories against France. Her government passed the union with Scotland that created Great Britain. She suffered poor health and repeated loss as a mother. Her close friendship with Sarah Churchill and its bitter end coloured court politics. With no surviving heir, her death brought the Hanoverians to the throne.
