Why Lloyd George Fell from Power in October of 1922 Lloyd George became Prime Minister in 1916 with the ‘great war’ to deal with. Much was expected from him very quickly. He headed up a coalition made up of predominantly conservatives, also the ‘New Liberals’ and a few labour members. The liberal party was split between the Asquithian Liberals and the Lloyd George followers that joined the coalition. It was inevitable that this coalition would be very difficult to keep under control as it had to satisfy many different groups of society. During war time it was not so difficult as everyone in Britain had one common aim, to win the war, but what was to happen after war time? Lloyd George only headed up the coalition because the conservatives thought that he had undoubted ability to lead but it was not because of his beliefs, he was perhaps to some extent a ‘puppet leader’. Along with keeping all the groups among the coalition happy he had to satisfy the country so everything he did had to keep national interest in mind. The first thing he had to deal with was the great war but at the time this was not considered that tough a task for him as he successfully managed to be munitions minister. The conservatives had a selection of followers from the British society but one thing they did not have was support from the working class and this is one reason why Lloyd George was selected to lead up the coalition because he had support from the working class. There were many factors that contributed to the fall of Lloyd George. Some of these were his fault and some of these were ongoing factors that he had to deal with. He was a man without a party, a ‘new liberal’ where many had followed the old leader and were Asquith supporters. He was the leader of the coalition not for his liberal beliefs but his ability to lead. He was once an enemy of the conservatives but now led the coalition that was predominately

At the end of the 18th century, an undeclared war was going on between the United States and France because of the recent XYZ affair; triggering a positive reaction by Federalists like Fisher Ames to convince the authorities to make the war official. Not knowing what to do, President John Adams appointed former-President George Washington as commander of the army to hopefully resolve the issue with France through diplomacy (as was Washington's stance).
After the French and Indian war, the Britain saw a need for the “more centralized control” (Outline of U.S. History, 2011, p.52). They felt as necessary to eliminate any interference from the colonialists. The colonies on the other hand, expected more freedom and independence. Hence there was a forthcoming conflict. When the organization of Canada and Ohio valley would not adopt the policies to “alienate the French and Indian inhabitants, and British needed more money and land for settlement” (54) and fear of more war erupting, the restricting and taxation laws were passed. For example the Proclamation Act of 1763, Stamp Act of 1764 and others. Although some of these were passed to counter the other, it was still evident that there was a conflict between the colonialists and the British. General Thomas Gage commanded the garrison in Boston, and his main duty was to enforce the Coercive Act (57). His forces were raided the “minutemen and eight killed in the attack “(59), and pushed on to Concord. Soldiers were lost during the fight. The Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia and voted to go to war; Colonel Washington of Virginia was the Commander in Chief (59). Despite the break of war many people seen it has impossible to break the ties with England. At the end of that year, December 23, Thomas Paine, who had previously

Unreasonable laws were the reasons for going to war.After French and Indian War,the treaties of Paris and Hubertusburg in February 1763 were created. The treaties gave England new land from France. The Proclamation of 1763 prevented the Colonists from establishing settlements on land west of the Appalachian Mountains, because the land was pronounced Indian territory. Any colonist living in those territories had to return east of the Appalachian Mountains. This new land would have opened new doors for more economic opportunities. Also, Parliament issued the Quartering Act, which made the Colonist quarter British soldiers. British soldiers could come unexpected in Colonist homes, eat their food, stay in their homes for as long as they wanted, and the Colonist could not refuse. The Colonists did not see a reason for this, because the French and Indian War was over. They did not want to be under Parliamentary Sovereignty, because The Colonists felt like their lives were being dictated.
• The War of 1812 was similar to Jefferson’s Barbary conflict. American sailors were being impressed by England.
