George III's
long reign was marked by a series of
military conflicts involving his kingdoms,
much of the rest of Europe, and places
further afield in Africa, the Americas and
Asia. Early in his reign, Great Britain
defeated France in the Seven Years' War,
becoming the dominant European power in
North America and India.
However, many
of its American colonies were soon lost in
the American Revolutionary War, which led to
the establishment of the United States of
America. A series of wars against
revolutionary and Napoleonic France, over a
twenty-year period, finally concluded in the
defeat of Napoleon in 1815.
