What followed the Stuarts' period?

Following the Stuart period, which ended in 1714, the Whig and Tory political factions emerged, leading to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy under the Hanoverian kings. This transition marked the beginning of the Georgian era, characterized by political stability, the expansion of the British Empire, and significant cultural developments. The Act of Union in 1707 also united England and Scotland, creating the Kingdom of Great Britain, setting the stage for further political and social changes in the 18th century.
