King George III ascends the British throne in 1760. The Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763) comes to an end and France cedes Canada to Britain, yet criticism of the government grows, led by the controversial figure of John Wilkes. Meanwhile, unrest begins to make itself felt in Britain's American colonies. The Seven Years' War was fought from 1756 to 1763, incorporating the Pomeranian War and the French and Indian War which was fought from 1754 to 1763, and enveloped both European and colonial theatres. It is estimated that between 900,000 and 1,400,000 people died. This conflict involved all of the major European powers of the period: Prussia, Hanover, and United Kingdom of Great Britain (including British colonies in North America, the British East India Company, and Ireland) were pitted against Austria, France (including the North American colony of New France and the French East India Company), the Russian Empire, Sweden, and Saxony. Portugal (on the side of Great Britain) and Spain (on the side of France) were later drawn into the conflict, and a force from the neutral Netherlands was attacked in India.
