Elizabeth became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. As other colonies of the British Empire (now the Commonwealth of Nations) attained independence from the UK during her reign, she acceded to the newly created thrones as Queen of each respective realm so that throughout her 55 years on the throne she has been Monarch of 32 nations, half of which either subsequently adopted other royal houses or became republics.
She is currently one of the longest-reigning monarchs of the UK or any of its predecessor states, ranking behind Victoria (who reigned over the UK for sixty-three years), George III (who reigned over Great Britain and subsequently the UK for fifty-nine), James VI (who reigned over Scotland for fifty-seven years), and Henry III (who reigned over England for fifty-six).

In ancient times,you got to be king or queen by using a sword and fought the current ruler on a battlefield. Then, you took the family of the loser and killed every man,woman,and child of that bloodline including their servants,guards,and all their families combined as well to keep anybody of coming along later to claim the throne.
I know it sounds barbaric by our modern standards,but back then no newspapers,television,radio,you needed something to do.
Nowadays,monarchs get their jobs by inheritance.
