British political leader David Lloyd George was born in Manchester, in 1836. He studied Law. Lloyd George entered Parliament in 1890, winning a by-election at Caernarvon Boroughs, the seat he retained for 55 years.

Arthur J. Balfour resigned in December 1905, and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman formed a Liberal administration, appointing Lloyd George to the Cabinet as president of the Board of Trade. He served at this duty until 1908. He had served variety of governmental duties.

In 1916, Lloyd George became the Prime Minister until 1922 he remained administrating Britain. During the First World War, he tried to trace the allied operations in the Balkans and the Middle East. He supported Greek landings on the Turkish shores on the Aegean.

A major domestic problem was Ireland, where the Sinn Fein refused to recognise the British Parliament. From 1919 to 1921, a civil war raged. In the summer of 1921, Lloyd George, with full agreement of his Conservative colleagues, reversed the policy of repression in Ireland and began the negotiations that culminated in Irish independence in December 1921. The more rigid Tories never forgave this "surrender," as they deemed it. In 1922, Lloyd George ran into trouble over the so-called “honours scandal”, when accusations were made that peerages and other honours were being sold for large campaign contributions.

Tory discontent was rife, when, from a wholly unexpected quarter, a crisis occurred that drove Lloyd George from power forever. This was the Çanak incident, in which it seemed to critics that the reckless foreign policy of the government had led Britain to the verge of an unnecessary war with Turkey. When the Conservative leaders decided to appeal to the country on a coalition basis again, a party revolt ensued. Bonar Law, who had retired because of ill health in 1921, returned to the political scene. On Oct. 19, 1922, a two-to-one majority of Conservative members of Parliament endorsed his and Stanley Baldwin's plea to fight as an independent party. Lloyd George at once resigned.
