Spain too. The myth of tyrannical King George is way overblown. The issue was a foreign based Parliament making our laws without our say. Which makes the complaint that Obama was “anti colonial” all the more hilarious.

Well, yes, but Spain was doing it as much as a personal favour to their king’s cousin as out of any illusion that their star was going to start returning to the place it had been in prior to the War of the Succession.

I mean, they even knew that they’d be giving up a substantial portion of their Empire win or lose!
