George I, King (British North America) : All Data

George I was the first Hanoverian king of Great Britain, reigning from 1714 to 1727. During his tenure, the most significant war was the War of the Quadruple Alliance, which occurred from 1718 to 1720. This conflict involved Great Britain, France, Austria, and the Dutch Republic, and aimed to prevent Spain from reclaiming its territories in Italy. Another notable event was the Jacobite Rising of 1715, a rebellion in Scotland led by supporters of the exiled Stuart dynasty. Although George I successfully suppressed the uprising, it highlighted the ongoing tensions between the Hanoverian monarchy and Jacobite sympathizers.
