Juraj III. citáty

Juraj III. bol kráľ Veľkej Británie a Írska, neskôr Spojeného kráľovstva Veľkej Británie a Írska.

Na trón nastúpil 25. októbra 1760 ako tretí panovník z Hannoverskej dynastie a súčasne prvý panovník tejto dynastie narodený v Británii. Za svoj materinský jazyk si zvolil angličtinu a Nemecko nikdy nenavštívil.

Jeho dlhá vláda bola poznamenaná sériou vojen, ktoré pohltili takmer celú Európu. Na začiatku jeho vlády porazila Veľká Británia Francúzsko v sedemročnej vojne a stala sa dominantnou európskou mocnosťou v Severnej Amerike. Táto časť sedemročnej vojny na severoamerickom bojisku je označovaná ako Francúzska a indiánska vojna, ale Veľká Británia tieto kolónie počas Americkej vojny za nezávislosť stratila a vznikli Spojené štáty. Neskôr sa Jurajove kráľovstvo zapojilo do bojov proti revolučnému a napoleonskému Francúzsku, ktoré nakoniec viedli k porážke Napoleona v roku 1815.

Neskôr sa u Juraja III. začali prejavovať príznaky mentálneho ochorenia. Bol zmätený, surový a mal veľké problémy spoznať i vlastnú manželku. Vtedajší lekári mu diagnostikovali chorobu zvanú porfýria. Nedávny výskum však preukázal vysoké množstvo jedovatého arzénu, ktorý sa našiel v jeho vlasoch.[chýba zdroj] Arzén mohol byť pravdepodobnou príčinou jeho zdravotných problémov. Juraj III. sa zo svojej choroby niekoľkokrát uzdravil a celé kráľovstvo nad týmto zázrakom jasalo, lebo bol medzi svojím ľudom mimoriadne obľúbený. Choroba však len driemala a v roku 1810 prepukla naplno. Juraja III. uznali za neschopného vlády a jeho najstarší syn Juraj sa stal regentom kráľovstva . Po smrti svojho otca nastúpil na trón ako Juraj IV. Wikipedia

“Nothing important happened today.”

George III of the United Kingdom

It is widely believed that George III wrote this in his diary on July 4, 1776, the day the American Revolution began. In fact, this was made up by the scriptwriters of the series The X Files, as George III did not write a diary.
