George III (4)

Page history last edited by n_diaz08@... 13 years, 6 months ago

Geroge III (1738-1820) – Reigned England from 1760 – 1776. He was always a powerful force in politics. He was a strong supporter of the war against America, and he viewed the concession of independence in 1783 with such detestation that he considered abdicating his throne. At the same time he fought a bitter personal feud with the Whig leader Charles James Fox, and his personal intervention brought the fall of the Fox-North ministry in 1783. He oversaw the conquest of an empire in the Seven Years' War, and the loss of the American Colonies in the War of Independence. The British Empire was the leading model of Industrial and economic development in an era when the whole world was to be mapped and conquered. After 1801 George III was increasingly incapacitated by an illness, sometimes identified as porphyry, that caused blindness and senility.- Nick Diaz
