Though, these aren’t the original lyrics? Original are God save great George our long live our noble king god save the king, send him victorious happy and glorious long to reign over us god save the king. Those were the original lyrics as stated in a magazine in the late 1700s
@@Forgotten_Lemon Presidents are elected for periods of 4 years. Originally, there was no limit to the amount of times a president could be reelected, but nobody ever served more than two terms in office until Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945). After that, term limits were formally implemented by law.
Just a little note, this was actually the original God save the king created during King George II's reign, not King George the III's, and was not an American loyalist song, it was a song created when a rebellion happened in Scotland that attempted to overthrow the government, and when were winning they made "God save the king" because they thought there was no other way for him to be saved but the military did defeat the rebellion.
hello your majesty, just thought you'd be interested to know an American monarchist party is in the process of being created. :-) God Save the King God bless the future American Empire! :")
Erni Landia Well some of us do.Some of us dream of the old days of the Electors and Dukes and some of the old Empire.But me personally I would love to see a new and reorganised German Union with our royal houses and Austria as emperor
@@HerrKendys_Kulturkanal how many in Germany would support the return of the Kaiser????? Something's got to be done about Merkel I myself am an American but I can clearly see if she is harming Germany. I do the best I can to follow politics worldwide not just confined to the US.
The year is 2064, following a protracted civil war in what was formerly the United States, the US east coast is finally occupied by British and Canadian troops with aid of American collaborators. The Union Jack is hoisted above the Capitol in the name of King George VII, and this song is blasted from the Capitol as the United Dominion of North America is proclaimed
Although I love being an American and living in the United States but our reasons to be independent were totally flawed at the time. We got angry over our nation being taxed after the British spent their money protecting our asses from French domination we couldn’t at least do something to help the British. We were still being taxed less then any other area in the British colonies and in England it just baffles me.
I'd disagree. The Hanoverians, famed for their autocratic monarchy in Hanover, allowed the monarchy in Britain to decline in power until its present state where it must be subservient to the permanent political class which wields total and uncompromising authority in Parliament, which can never be removed, or abolished, now it exists. You can never not vote in an MP: Either you choose to personally cast a vote or not cast a vote, but no matter what you personally do, an MP in your constituency will always be voted in, and parliament will continue to exist. You cannot vote to not have an MP in parliament - if everybody voted 'none of the above' and there were no MPs, parliament wouldn't then technically exist (and the system would run much more smoothly, I imagine!) The decline of the monarchy and rise of parliament was started by the truly disastrous dynasty of the Stuarts (who were a Shakespearian tragedy from start to finish), but the decline was catalysed by the Hanoverians until George III, who was enthusiastic to reverse this trend, as was his lawful right; though his politicians weren't so keen on the idea (because when was the last time a politician ever voted themselves less power, or voted themselves a pay cut?). By the law of the land, there is no such thing as the Prime Minister of the UK. As far as the letter of the law goes, the Queen holds executive power - but if she enforced the law, as written, which is not only her birthright but her legal duty and responsibility (as outlined in her coronation oath, no less), people would scream bloody murder because of "muh democrazy" (which they don't take seriously at all, unless the idea of having to live without a system that they continually whine about and complain as being corrupt and full of cheats and liars about is put to them).
I wish Britain still used this version, but adapted to the different monarchs. (Ie. "God Save Great Elizabeth our Queen, God Save Great Charles our King, etc")
This is just the national anthem in its earliest version. It’s not American and wasn’t about George the III it was written during the reign of his great grandfather George I
Well, this anthem came out almost 50 years before Heil dir im Siegerkranz and almost 60 years before the Russian anthem duringTsar Alexander I. This anthem was created in 1745, meaning the British were the first to construct an anthem with that melody, but we do have to consider its origins, which came from the French pianist who created the melody and song for King Louis XIV.
