<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Hannover Club''' or '''Hanover Club''' was a political society in the [[Kingdom of Great Britain]] active during the early 18th century. They were committed to the succession of [[King George I of Great Britain|King George of Hanover]] to the British throne, rather than the rival claimant [[James III of England|James III]] (known as the 'Old Pretender'). It was made up of supporters of the [[British Whig Party|Whig]] faction.<br />
<br />
Less well known than the more celebrated [[Kit Kat Club]], with whom it shared many beliefs and members, the group was arguably more important and powerful in pushing for the [[Hanoverian Succession]] and proved invaluable to George following the death of [[Anne, Queen of Great Britain|Queen Anne]] in 1714, and the year of turmoil that followed. <br />
<br />
Future Whig Prime Minister the [[Duke of Newcastle]] was a member of the club.<ref>Browning p.7</ref><br />
