Hello again! Today we take a dive into an often forgotten and overlooked king of Britain, who enjoyed one of the longer reigns in British history. I chose to focus more on the international aspect of George's reign rather than the domestic ministerial events in Britain, as foreign policy seems to be where George had the most influence, and in my opinion, these events are probably more interesting from a video perspective. As always, if I catch any errors, or if any are pointed out, I will add them to the "errors and corrections" section of the video description. I hope you are all doing well, and thank you for your interest in the video/ channel. The next one I suspect will be quite substantial and so may take a bit longer to put together, but that remains to be seen. Thanks again, and Cheers.

@youthoughtaboutit6946 Год назад

Ah, the Hannovarians, the dynasty where each father (when living long enough to know them, princess charlotte maybe aside) intensely disliked their successors and all (aside from maybe George IV) either justly forgotten or unfairly maligned.

@--enyo-- Год назад

Princess Charlotte’s father was intensely jealous of her popularity with the general public and she represented his connection with her mother, so I’d say there was no love lost there either.

@@BriefHistoryOfficialhank you for your awesome series! I wish I could contribute more. You have provided me with hours of priceless content. It’s inspired me to read further on the subject and it has become a passion of mine. As far as I know my ancestors were English gentry so this topic has a weird patriotic/Anglophile pull. I’m an American myself, but my immediate paternal and maternal lines are English surnames. The paternal line is the one I know the most about. Anglian brewers perhaps? Anyways, apparently my ancestors were involved in the later Stuart Anglican clergy. John Barwick was a priest and his brother was a physician. John actually had correspondence with both King Charles I and II during the English Civil wars, and was thrown into prison by the roundheads for being a royalist spy.

Interesting to note, a little known fact, that, if bonnie Prince Charlie and the glan leaders, being at Derby less than 100 miles from London, that, George 2nd was planning to flee London if the jacobite army, had forced ahead and the Duke of Cumberland would not have got there in time to stop them taking London. Maybe just maybe if they had, it might of been the end of the hanoverian rule in Great Britain, with a whole different history having the Stuart dynasty on the British thrown to this day. As we know the Scottish Glan leaders argued wasted time, and the young pretender did not have enough to keep them together and focused.

It seems like the Hanovers were the least appealing of England's royal families. Reminds me that line from "The Two Popes" where Pope Benedict made a deadpan joke to an unamused future Pope Francis and followed it by saying, "It's a German joke, it doesn't have to be funny."

@user-sh1tp2df7t Год назад

Poor Frederick had to take up his "duties" as Prince of Wales! As Prince of Wales, Frederick didn't have much in the way of official duties. He was granted an income and was expected to support his father's government, but he instead became associated with the opposition, partly as a way to assert his independence. He used his London residence, Leicester House, as a sort of alternative court where opposition politicians and artists gathered. This brought him a certain amount of popularity with the public, as did his patronage of cricket and the arts. Nothin' but work, work, work.

Surely the trans-Atlantic slave trade was historically significant enough to deserve some mention here? It was, for example, the cause of the War of Jenkins' Ear, which was stoked by the South Sea Company to retain exclusive rights to sell Africans into slavery in the Spanish Americas. Upwards of 60,000 men lost their lives in the 9 years of fighting which followed. The American state of Georgia bears the name of George II, after the state's founder, James Oglethorpe, successfully petitioned the king to sanction the creation of a slave free state. The experiment in abolitionism was ultimately made to fail, and Georgia's role in the American Civil War, and consequent role in defence of the vicious politics of racial caste needs no rehearsal here. Just two fragments of one of the most historically influential phenomenons in history, and layers of the foundation of modernity. Surely even a "brief" narrative of any Georgian monarch is incomplete without even a passing reference.

@J..P.. Год назад

Now that youre getting close to King George III, I strongly recommend you read the book "The Last King of America" by Andrew Roberts. The book uses thousands of George's own personal correspondences from his youth, up till his final years and paints a completely different image of the man than the typical rhetoric we read about him. Unfortunately, King George is very much a victim of revolutionary propaganda - much like King Louis and Tsar Nicholas. Not only does this book cut through the lies with first hand accounts, it irrefutably proves he was not a tyrant - and I would even argue it demonstrates King George to be a far greater, kinder and more virtuous man than any of the founding fathers; and frankly, its not even close.

Glad you haven't resorted to AI voice overs, with monotone repe-rep-re-tition, misprin-pron-nin-si-ciashin-tion, and the like. A little hurried sometimes, but let's hear it for the real human voice in this time of ever diminishing real documentaries.
