Well, just for the sake of curiosity, what would be the consequences be of George dying in this period of time (from illness, accident, assassination plot, successful French Invasion of Britain, etc)? I know at this point in time his brothers Edward, William, Henry, and Frederick were all still alive, which would result in Edward becoming heir apparent to George II. How would British imperial history be shaped by Edward at the helm?
More interest in the military (he served in the royal navy OTL)?
Perhaps earlier or later American Revolution? Maybe less successful?
How would the domestic issues play out?
