George III of the United Kingdom
George III (George William Frederick; 1738 – 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 25 October 1760 until the unification of the two states on 1 January 1801. Following this, he reigned as King of the United Kingdom until his death.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
King George led Great Britain during numerous conflicts, including the Seven Years' War, where Britain emerged victorious over France in North America, and the American Revolutionary War. It was in the latter war that Great Britain's Thirteen Colonies rebelled against the British Empire and achieved their independence to become the United States.[1][2]
In 1770, a statue of King George was placed in Bowling Green in New York City to celebrate the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1765. During the American Revolutionary War, the statue was removed and melted down, with the metal being used to create musket balls for the Continental Army.[3]
