The Jacobite threat came to an end when Charles was defeated at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746.The country prospered greatly during George II's reign, with the coal and shipbuilding industries becoming more productive, an overall growth in the population, and the establishment of British control in Madras and Bengal.
