Evidently King George was loathe to give up America and Parliament over ruled him.

Theres a disputed saying supposedly from the Russian Czar “ I fear my cousin George has gone mad ! He should have given up London and kept the Americas “ ! 
Maybe not accurate or true, but definitely thought provoking !

Cheers.

The film, the Madness of King George? It was originally titled the Madness of King George III, but the producers feared that Americans would not go and pay to watch it as they had not seen I and II.

Just googled the story behind it sounds like he got what he deserved. That other memorable clip from the veitnam war of that young girl running up the road with all the skin burnt off her back due to a napalm bombing. As the words in the song WAR absolutely good for nothing rings true. 

her name was kim fuch  she survived the horific injuries from being burned   with naparm        ,the yanks fu,,d up jet again and droped a load on a school.i remember the image well of her running          across a bridge with her skin peeling off she survived and became a nurse.
