章节摘录

  The House of Hanover ( the Hanoverians) is a Germanic royal dynasty. It succeeded the House of Stuart as monarchs of Great Britain and Ireland in 1714 and held that office until the death of Victoria in 1901. There were a lot of better qualified people available to be king of England, but unfortunately most of them were Catholic. George I was a German who did not speak a word of English, but was Protestant. So started the rule of the House of Hanover, under whom Britain achieved wealth and peace over the next century.  During Georges reign the powers of the monarchy diminished and Britain began a transition to the modern system of Cabinet government led by a Prime Minister, which plays an important part in connecting the King and Parliament together. Towards the end of his reign, actual power was held by Sir Robert Walpole, Great Britains first Prime Minister until 1742. He avoided the expense of war, and Britain prospered. George died on a trip to his native Hanover, where he was buried. The coming of George III to the throne in 1760 after the death of George II brought the fast British-born king for 50 years. They were exciting times, except the loss of the American Colonies. Britain won new territories in Canada and India, but lost the oldest settlement of all, with the declaration of independence by the American colonies in 1776 and the final surrender at Yorktown in 1781.
