The Death of George II & the Fall of Pitt
In India anarchy ruled. In 1761 after a trip to England Clive was made Commander-in-Chief and Governor of Bengal by the East India Company. He had to establish order. His reforms were drastic but their success led the Mogul Emperor to invite him to extend a British protectorate to Delhi and all Northern India. Clive refused. He understood the danger of the Company taking on the responsibilities of Empire. The Indian rulers should administer justice, the Company revenues. In America in 1760 the British captured Quebec and then Montreal. Canada was won. The future George III had been brought up by his mother and her adviser the Earl of Bute. In 1760 George II died. George III became king. A year later Pitt resigned and Bute became prime minister.
