George III (King of Great Britain)

George III was King of Great Britain from 1760 to 1820, known for his long reign during a period of significant change. He faced challenges like the American Revolution, where colonies sought independence, and wars against France. George aimed to strengthen the monarchy but often faced political opposition and public dissent. He had a keen interest in agriculture and science but struggled with mental health issues later in life. His reign marked the transition from a colonial empire to a more modern nation, and he is often remembered for both his attempts to maintain royal authority and the loss of the American colonies.
