Charles Edward Stuart landed in Scotland and raised a Highland army. Within the broader Georgian Britain period, parliamentary government, industrialization, imperial expansion, war with France and political reform turned Britain into a global commercial and military power. This event is placed at 1745 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The rising came closer than any later Jacobite attempt to restoring the Stuarts.
