In his early life he lived in poverty and so moved with his mother to live in Llanystumdwy, North Wales, with his uncle, who encouraged him to take up a career in law and enter politics. His childhood showed through in all of his career, as he attempted to aid the common man at the expense of what he liked to call "the Dukes". ==Entry into politics== His flair quickly showed, and he was elected Liberal Party (UK) MP for Caernarfon in 1890 and he would remain an MP until 1945, fifty five years later. He gained national fame by his vehement opposition to the Boer War. In 1905, he entered the new Liberal Cabinet of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman as President of the Board of Trade, and on Campbell-Bannerman's death he succeeded the new Prime Minister, Herbert Henry Asquith as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1908 to 1915. In this role, he was largely responsible for the introduction of old age pensions in Britain and began what is now referred to as the Welfare State. Considered a pacifist until 1914, Lloyd George changed his stance when World War I broke out. When the Liberal government fell as a result of the Shell Crisis of 1915 and was replaced with a coalition government dominated by Liberals still under the Premiership of Asquith, Lloyd George became the first Minister of Munitions in 1915 and then Secretary of State for War in 1916. ==Prime Minister== He progressed to replace Asquith as prime minister of a new wartime coalition government between the Liberals and the Conservative Party (UK). This was a move that split his Liberal Party into two factions; those who supported Asquith and those who supported the coalition government. Despite this opposition, Lloyd George steered the country politically through the war, and represented Britain at the Versailles Peace Conference, clashing with both France Premier of France Georges Clemenceau and United States President of the United States Woodrow Wilson. Lloyd George wanted to punish Germany politically and economically for devastating Europe during the war, but did not want to utterly destroy the German economy and political system the way Clemenceau and many other people of France wanted to do. Memorably, he replied to a question as to how he had done at the peace conference, "Not badly, considering I was seated between Jesus Christ and Napoleon." Lloyd George favoured plebiscites on the Germano-Polish border that resulted in many military clashes, and an extremely long and defenceless border between those two countries. Lloyd George began to feel the weight of the coalition with the Conservatives after the war. His decision to extend conscription to Ireland was nothing short of disastrous, indirectly leading a majority of Irish MPS to declare independence. He presided over a bloody Anglo-Irish_War of attrition in Ireland, that led to the formation of the Irish Free State. The involvement of government in atrocities was a major factor in turning Irish people away from the United Kingdom. At one point, he famously declared of the Irish Republican Army "We have murder by the throat!". However he was soon to begin negotiations with IRA leaders to end the conflict. He was a bitter opponent of Wales nationalism. His 1918 General Election campaign featured promises of reforms on education, housing, health and transport. The traditionalist Conservative Party, however, had no intention of introducing these reforms, which led to three years of frustrated fighting within the coalition. It was this fighting, coupled with the increasingly differing ideologies of the two forces in a country reeling from the costs of war that led to Lloyd George being removed from power. The Conservatives maintained that they did not need Lloyd George to be electable simply because he was the man who won the war for Britain. They also accused him of selling knight and peerages for money and lacking any executive accountability as prime minister, claiming that he never turned up to Cabinet (government) meetings and banished some government departments to the gardens of Downing Street. A meeting at London Carlton Club between the frustrated and underused coalition backbenchers sealed Lloyd George's fate. Prominent Conservative politician Austen Chamberlain argued for supporting Lloyd George, while prospective party leader Andrew Bonar Law argued the other way, claiming that breaking up the coalition "wouldn't break Lloyd George's heart". ==Later political career== Throughout the next two decades Lloyd George remained on the margins of British politics, being frequently predicted to return to office but never succeeding. In 1929 Lloyd George became Father of the House, the longest serving member of the Commons. In 1931 an illness prevented his joining the UK National Government when it was formed. Later when the National Government called a General Election he tried to pull the Liberal Party out of it but succeeded in taking only a few followers, most of whom were related to him. In 1935 he sought to promote a radical programme of economic reform, often called "Lloyd George's New Deal" after the contemporary New Deal of the US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. However the programme did not find favour in the mainstream political parties. Later that year Lloyd George and his familty reunited with the Liberal Party in Parliament. In the late 1930s he was sent by the British government to try to dissuade Adolf Hitler from his plans of Europe-wide fascism expansion. During the Second World War there was speculation about Lloyd George returning to government, and even suggestions of making him Prime Minister once more, but these came to nothing. In early 1945 he accepted a peerage as Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor and Viscount Gwynedd, of Dwyfor in the Counties of Wales of Caernarvonshire. He had already formed the view that he would lose his seat in the House of Commons at the next General Election, but the offer of a peerage turned his fortunes around because it enabled him to remain active in politics not just for the next parliamentary term but for the rest of his life. However, he died shortly afterwards without ever taking up his seat in the House of Lords. His perceived double-dealing on many issues alienated many of his former supporters, but there is no doubt that he was a brilliant politician, hence his nickname: The Welsh Wizard. He also had a reputation as a womaniser, and, following the death of his wife, he married his secretary and mistress, Frances Stevenson. ==Family== His son, Gwilym Lloyd George, 1st Viscount Tenby, and daughter, Lady Megan Lloyd George, both followed him into politics and were elected members of parliament. They were politically faithful to their father throughout his life but following their father's death each drifted away from the Liberal Party, with Gwilym finishing his career as a Conservative cabinet minister whilst Megan became a Labour MP, perhaps symbolising the fate of much of the old Liberal Party. ==Lloyd George's war cabinet, December 1916–January 1919== *David Lloyd George - Prime Minister *George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Lords *Andrew Bonar Law - Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons *Arthur Henderson - Minister without Portfolio *Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner - Minister without Portfolio ===Changes=== *May - August 1917 - In temporary absence of Arthur Henderson, George Nicoll Barnes, Minister of Pensions acts as a member of the War Cabinet. *June 1917 - Jan Smuts enters the War Cabinet as a Minister without Portfolio *July 1917 - Sir Edward Carson enters the War Cabinet as a Minister without Portfolio *August 1917 - George Barnes succeeds Arthur Henderson (resigned) as Minister without Portfolio and Labour Party (UK) member of the War Cabinet. *January 1918 - Carson resigns and is not replaced *April 1918 - Austen Chamberlain succeeds Lord Milner as Minister without Portfolio. *January 1919 Law becomes Lord Privy Seal and is succeeded as Chancellor of the Exchequer by Chamberlain; both remaining in the War Cabinet.
