Abstract
This survey of British history from 1714 when George I became King until 1815, the end of the Napoleonic wars, is concerned primarily with domestic and foreign political behavior. The Georgian kings were unique in that as well as being British kings they were monarchs of the Electorate of Hanover. The author discusses each of the kings, his personal background and how he functioned in the role of the King of England. Similar treatment is given to the Prime Ministers such as Walpole, the Pelhams, William Pitt and the younger Pitt. During this period of approximately 100 years, British history was marked by complex international relations both on the Continent and with the colonies. Colonial history is marked by the American war of independence. Two chapters are devoted to general ethnographic data during the 18th century, including discussions of the changing social conditions brought about by incipient industrialization.
