How did you get from Queen Anne House of Stuart to George I House of Hanover?

On the death of Queen Anne, King George [I] inherited the English throne on what might be considered a technicality.
Ironically, the English government considered that the very German George from the House of Hanover, to be less of a risk than Queen Anne's half brother James Edward Stuart.
So it came to pass that England had a mostly non-resident and non-English speaking king with little or no interest in England.
