Audio: English. Subtitles: English.

Although George II (1727 – 1760} wouldn't live to see the victorious end of the Seven Years' War (1756 – 1763), it was during his long reign that Great Britain first reached superpower status.

NOTE: The Province of Georgia, founded in 1732, was named after George II. It became a Royal Colony (the last of the original Thirteen Colonies) in 1753.
Many thanks to Peter MacDonough for pointing this out.
