George III was the king who defeated France. However, he lost the American colonies. To those around him he was, at least in later life, mad. George III was the 1st king of the House of Hannover who used English as his first language. In 1761, he married Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz; they had 15 children. It was a happy marriage. George's life as a king was not that happy, as he found, after five years as king, his duties so stressfull that he considered to abdicate. As George became king, the Seven Years' War was fought. The war was expensive, so George III introduced new taxes in the American colonies. The colonists began to protest. In order to beat the protest down, he send soldiers to them. Consequently, there was the War of the American Revolution. In 1779, the colonist won the war. Britain`s defeat was traumatic. In 1793, George III was able to respond to the new threat of Napoleonic France. The wars finished with a battle at sea. By this time, George III developed a dementia.In 1810, a doctor declared him as unfit to rule, so his son, George VI, took over as regent. George III tied alone in 1820.

I would like you to correct my mistakes, please. It is no homework.

Bei dem obenstehenden fettgedrückten Satz bin ich mir nicht sicher (ohne es nachzuschlagen), was wann passiert ist.

- Was the Seven Years' War already underway when George became king?
- Did the Seven Years' War only begin after he became king?

I am not sure about this fact. Maybe someone else can comment on that.

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Korrektur

When the French invaded Minorca George II was still King of Britain, so by the time of George III's coronation the war must have been underway.

all right.
