Leopold's father, Emperor Franz I. Stephan von Lothringen , who was still in Innsbruck after the wedding of his second eldest son, died surprisingly on August 18 of a stroke or heart attack. His eldest son Joseph II , who was crowned Roman-German King as co-regent last year, becomes Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and official co-regent of his mother Maria Theresa in the archducal lands. After being laid out for several days, Franz Stephan's body was transferred to Vienna and buried there on August 31 in the Capuchin crypt.
The Grand Duchy of Tuscany goes as Sekundogenitur to the second son Leopold , who is involved in the administration of the country since the 1761st The economic situation of the Grand Duchy at this point in time was extremely difficult due to a great famine and neglect by previous rulers. Development stagnated under the last rulers of the Medici family . Even Leopold's father did not take care of the land intensively and had it administered by agents. In addition, Leopold's brother Joseph II demands the release of the “Tuscan reserve fund”, which permanently worsens the relationship between the brothers. Under Leopold, the leadership of the Tuscan government passed from Antoniotto Botta Adorno to Franz Xaver Wolfgang von Orsini-Rosenberg , whom Leopold's mother Maria Theresa sent to the court of Florence at Leopold's request . With him the time of the great reforms began in the Grand Duchy.

Great Britain and its colonies
The British Stamp Act of March 22nd, passed by the government under Prime Minister George Grenville , feeds the resistance of the American colonies . The law, which comes into force in November, stipulates that every official piece of paper and document, but also newspapers, card and dice games in the North American colonies must be stamped. The tax or customs stamp on playing cards has it on the Pik - Ass to be. The background to the first direct tax for the colonies is the financial problems of Great Britain after the Seven Years' War . In addition, the stationing of troops on the border to the Indian territory , which is necessary to prevent further conflicts between settlers and Indians, also devours money. The colonies should now share in these costs. From the point of view of the colonists, especially the newly founded Sons of Liberty , it is, however, the climax of a policy of exploitation by the British mother country. The conflict is further fueled by the resolution passed by the British Parliament on March 24 and by King George III. Quartering Act signed on May 15, which stipulates that all North American colonists must billet British soldiers. From October 7th to 25th, 27 delegates from nine of the thirteen colonies will meet in New York to discuss how to proceed against the law.
William Tryon is appointed governor of the Province of North Carolina on July 10th, succeeding Arthur Dobbs , who died on March 28th, and makes the port city of New Bern, founded in 1710 , the capital of the British colony.

- November: Before the Stamp Act comes into effect , all colonial governors must take an oath to actually implement the law. Samuel Ward , who only defeated his longtime rival Stephen Hopkins in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations election earlier this year , is the only governor to refuse to take this oath.
