Hanover and Britain were in a personal union (ruled by the same leader, but maintained as separate governments). The union was broken with the ascension of Queen Victoria due to the gender laws of Hanover forbidding her from becoming their Queen. Britain would not return to Hanover until WW2, when it became the British Occupied Zone which was later absorbed by the American Occupied Zone (modern Germany)
