Write My Essay For MeGeorge the III Read George the III’s letter. What is his main theme in the letter? What is his determination about the results of the war in terms of commerce? How does the letter differ from what you would expect the monarch of a country that has just lost an important part of its empire to be concerned with? Do you agree with his judgments? Why or Why not?

The main theme of King George III’s letter seems to be assuring his compatriots in Britain that Britain will remain strong despite what may have initially seemed like a significant blow to Britain’s standing as a great power (economically and otherwise) — the loss of its American colonies. In his letter, King George claims that the colonies in the northern regions of America that Britain had lost control over were not really of much economic importance. Rather, the king discusses the importance of maintaining possession of Britain’s more economically important territories such as those in the West and East Indies. With respect to the king’s goals following the war in regards to commerce, the king discusses the benefits that Britain may enjoy by engaging in trade with their former colony. This is a response that is quite surprising to me. The king seems to be unconcerned with the loss of a significant portion of Britain’s overseas territories — something that I would expect to receive a much more impassioned and negative response. However, perhaps the king was simply trying to convey the sense that such a loss was unimportant for reason’s of his and his nation’s pride. But it would seem to me that Britain ultimately did lose out in a major way given the success that the United States has come to enjoy — a place that was at one time an extension of Britain’s vast global empire.
