	Due to the [[Act of Settlement 1701]] which excluded Catholics from the throne, [[George I of Great Britain\|George I]], who had fought at the [[Battle of Vienna]] in 1683, as the nearest [[Protestant]] successor, became the first Hanovarian monarch of [[Kingdom of Great Britain\|Great Britain]] and [[Kingdom of Ireland\|Ireland]] in 1714. Due to unfamiliarity with British culture, the first monarch was fairly unpopular and also had to contend with [[Jacobite]] risings from legitimists. On the side of [[Prussia]], the [[Seven Years' War]] with Bourbon [[France]] gained [[New France]], [[Bengal]] and [[Florida]] for Hanoverian Britain. The anthem ''[[God Save the King]]'' was adopted in the reign of George II.
