Why was King George such a bad ruler?
You didn't specify which George, so I'll assume you mean George I of England.
He wasn't a bad ruler. He was unpopular during his reign, because he wasn't a native of England (he was the nearest living Protestant relative of Queen Anne; she had closer relations, but they were all Catholic and barred from the throne by the laws of succession). He spoke fluent German and French, but his English was reportedly not terribly good particularly in the early part of his reign, and possibly as a result of this he appeared somewhat "wooden" in public. He also doesn't seem to have been entirely comfortable in the public spotlight.
However, since the majority of his cabinet was fluent in French also, he had no real difficulty in communicating with them and there's no evidence that he failed to understand what was going on. He was a progressive ruler who allowed fairly free (by the standards of the time) criticism of himself and his reign.
If, by chance, you meant George III, the George the American colonies rebelled against, he was also a pretty good ruler who got a "bad rap". He did eventually become clinically insane, and the end of his reign was colored by it, but the American Revolution occurred well before the worst of this.
Why was albert called King George V?
Albert was called King George VI. His father was King George V.
When King George V died in 1936 his oldest son took the throne. He was King Edward VIII. Before the year was out King Edward abdicated so he could marry an American. So, Prince Albert took the throne. Sometimes monarchs change their names for certain reasons when they take the throne. Albert decided to call himself King George VI as a "continuation" of his father's reign.

What is the historical order for conquest of Canaan or period of Judges or the United Monarchy?
From a biblical perspective, the Hebrew conquest and settlement of Canaan was followed by the period of the Judges, which in turn was followed by the United Monarchy. From a historical point of view things look very different, as apparently none of this actually happened!
The archaeological evidence clearly shows that the Canaanite hinterland was quite sparsely populated at the time when the great battles of Jericho and Ai were supposed to have taken place. The Amarna letters show that in the middle of the thirteenth century BCE, the entire Levant (Palestine and Syria) was still under the rule of petty Philistine and Canaanite kings, who in turn were under the firm control of Egypt. The respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein says that over 80 per cent of scholars believe that there never was a conquest of Canaan as described in the Bible.
Finkelstein says that the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own separate culture, pottery styles and even different dialects of the Hebrew language. He says that there never was a United Monarchy. Perhaps there were various tribal leaders prior to the development of centralised kingdoms in Israel and Judah, but these could not have been the "Judges" of biblical tradition.
