Answer
George I ascended to the throne as the King of Great Britain and Ireland in 1714, following the death of Queen Anne. With no surviving heirs from Anne, the throne passed to George, the closest Protestant relative, in accordance with the Act of Settlement of 1701. This marked a significant transition, as it ensured the Protestant succession and established the Hanoverian dynasty's reign over the British Isles.
