The Dynasties of Great Britain

banner




-- Running from 1714 to present day in UK History--


The Hanover Dynasty came after the end of the Stuart Dynasty, it is still in power today, except that the name was changed to Windsor in WWII, because of relationships with Germany fell.



George I, sorry bad quality

GEORGE I --- 1714 to 1727

The nearest Protestant relative was in Germany, George I. He couldnt even talk english, so he let Parliament take over executive power. At this time Cabinet became heart of the British Government. Came up with the idea that only one person should speak for the whole cabinet, which became the Prime Minister.

(Sorry about the bad quality picture, all I could get)




George II

GEORGE II --- 1727 to 1760

Son of George I, both George I and II liked Hanover more than Great Britain. Not much happened during George II time, just mostly that the Position of Prime Minister became much more powerful and The Seven Year War began.




George III

GEORGE III --- 1760 to 1820

The Seven Year War was going on, George III wanted the Colonies, all the way in the US, to pay for the war. They wouldnt stand for this, leading to the American Revolution.
