The impact of the Olive Branch Petition was that **it failed to bring about peace and only angered King George III.** The petition was a final attempt by the Continental Congress to avoid a full-scale war with Great Britain, but it was rejected by the King, who considered the colonists to be in rebellion. This rejection led to increased hostilities and further solidified the push toward independence.
