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.
