George III

King George III was King of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until the union of the two countries on 1 January 1801, and of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from the merger of the previous kingdoms to his death on 29 January 1820, his reign lasted a total of 59 years, making him the third longest reigning monarch of Britain, behind his granddaughter Queen Victoria and 3rd great granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II, making him also the longest reigning male monarch of Britain. He is considered to the fiftieth monarch of England, since England was the dominant entity within the British kingdom, and was also the fourteenth and last leader of the Kingdom of Ireland before the unification with Great Britain to form the United Kingdom. He is best remembered in the United States for attempting to force the Thirteen Colonies to pay taxes to Britain to pay off the debt of the French and Indian War, which made the colonists mad and eventually led to the American War of Independence, which ended up in George being forced to give up the colonies and recognize the United States of America as an independent nation. He fought on the side of the The Coalition against Napoleon in the The Napoleonic Wars. After The Napoleonic Wars, he went insane.
