      Bullshit. The war went on for 8 years, not even counting the French and Indian war before it or the war of 1812. King George was very committed in defeating and later reconquring America. He sent hundreds of ships just to retake New York in the Revolution, the largest fleet move in history up to that time IIRC. Yes there were other conflicts, many caused by France at the time but that statement is flat out false.
