The '''Kingdom of Hanover''' ({{lang-de|Königreich Hannover}}) was a [[kingdom]] in northwest Germany. It was created in October 1814 by the [[Congress of Vienna]]. It [[Successor state|came after]] the [[Electorate of Hanover]] (officially the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg). It joined 38 other countries in the [[German Confederation]] in June 1815. The kingdom was ruled by the [[House of Hanover]]. This was a branch of the [[House of Welf]]. It was in [[personal union]] with [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Great Britain]] since 1714. Usually a [[viceroy]] controlled Hanover. This was because its monarch lived in [[London]]. The viceroys were usually younger members of the [[British royal family]].

The personal union with the United Kingdom ended in 1837 when [[Queen Victoria]] became the [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|queen]] of the UK. This was because females were not allowed to rule Hanover while a related male was still alive. Because of this, her uncle [[Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover|Ernest Augustus]] thus became the ruler of Hanover. His only son took over from him as [[George V of Hanover|George V]]. However, he was on the losing side of the [[Austro-Prussian War]]. His kingdom was then taken over by [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]] in 1866 and lost [[independence]]. It became a [[Province of Hanover|Prussian province]]. Hanover became part of the [[German Empire]] with the [[unification of Germany]] in January 1871. The country came back as the [[State of Hanover]] in 1946. But this [[States of Germany|state]] was later [[wikt:merge|merged]] with some smaller states to form the current state of [[Lower Saxony]] in then [[West Germany]]. The city of [[Hanover]] became the capital of this new state.
