The Right Honourable Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl
Baldwin of Bewdley, Order of the Garter|KG, Privy
Council of the United Kingdom|PC (3 August
1867–14 December 1947) was Prime Minister of
the United Kingdom on three separate occasions.

==Early life==

Born at Bewdley in Worcestershire, he was educated
at Harrow School|Harrow and Trinity College,
Cambridge (where he received a third class degree
in history), and went into the family business. In
the United Kingdom general election, 1906|1906
general election he contested Kidderminster (UK
Parliament constituency)|Kidderminster but lost
amidst an anti-Conservative Party
(UK)|Conservative landslide. In 1908 he succeeded
his deceased father as Member of Parliament|MP for
Bewdley (UK Parliament constituency)|Bewdley.
During the World War One|First World War he became
Parliamentary Private Secretary to Conservative
leader Andrew Bonar Law and in 1917 he was
appointed to the junior ministerial post of
Secretary to the Treasury|Financial Secretary to
the Treasury where he sought to encourage
voluntary donations by the rich in order the repay
the United Kingdom's war debt, notably writing to
The Times under the pseudonym 'FST'. In 1921 he
was promoted to the Cabinet as President of the
Board of Trade.

In late 1922 dissatisfaction grew within the
Conservative Party about the coalition it was in
with David Lloyd George. At a meeting of
Conservative MPs at the Carlton Club in October
Baldwin announced that he would no longer support
the coalition and famously condemned Lloyd George
for being a "dynamic force" that was bringing
destruction across politics. The meeting chose to
leave the coalition despite the views of most of
the party leadership. As a result the
Conservatives' new leader, Andrew Bonar Law was
forced to find new ministers for his Cabinet and
so he promoted Baldwin to the position of
Chancellor of the Exchequer. In November a united
Kingdom general election, 1922|general election
was held and the Conservatives were returned with
a majoirty.

==First appointment as Prime Minister==

In May 1923, when Bonar Law discovered that he was
dying of cancer, he retired immediately. Due to
many of the party's leading figures' standing
aloof from the government, there were only two
candidates to succeed him — George Nathaniel
Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston|Lord
Curzon, the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs|Foreign Secretary, and Stanley Baldwin.
The choice formally fell to George V of the United
Kingdom|King George V acting on the advice of
senior ministers and officials. It is not entirely
clear what factors were the most crucial, but many
felt that Curzon was unsuitable to be Prime
Minister, due to his being a member of the House
of Lords (though this did not stop other Lords
being seriously considered for the premiership on
subsequent occasions). Likewise, his lack of
experience in domestic affairs, his personal
character, which many found objectionable, and his
aristocratic background at a time when the
Conservative Party sought to shed its image as
bastion of the establishment, were deemed as
impediments to his advancement. The King then
turned to Baldwin to become Prime Minister.
Initially Baldwin also served as Chancellor of the
Exchequer whilst he sought to recruit the former
Liberal Chancellor Reginald McKenna to join the
government, but when this failed he instead
appointed Neville Chamberlain.

The Conservatives had a clear majority in the
House of Commons and could govern for another four
years before being constitutionally required to
hold a new general election, but Baldwin felt
bound by a pledge given by Bonar Law at the
previous election that there would be no
introduction of tariff|tariffs without a further
election. With the country facing growing
unemployment due to cheap imports, Baldwin decided
to call an early general election in United
Kingdom general election, 1923|December 1923 to
seek a mandate to introduce
protectionism|protectionist tariffs. Although this
succeeded in reuniting his divided party, the
election produced an inconclusive outcome. The
Conservatives won 258 MPs, the Labour Party 191
and the Liberals 159. Whilst the Conservatives
retained a plurality in the House of Commons, they
had been clearly defeated on the central election
issue of unemployment. Baldwin remained Prime
Minister until the opening session of the new
Parliament in January 1924 when the government was
defeated on a motion of confidence|confidence vote
and he resigned immediately.

==Return to office==


For the next ten months a minority Labour
government was in office but it too fell and a
further united Kingdom general election,
1924|general election was held in October 1924.
This election resulted in a landslide majority of
223 for the Conservatives, primarily at the
expense of the Liberals who lost ground due to a
depleted organisation and limited funds. Baldwin
became Prime Minister again and remained in office
until 1929. This period included the UK General
Strike 1926|General Strike of 1926, a crisis which
the government managed to weather, despite the
havoc it caused nationally. In 1931 he and the
Conservatives entered into a coalition with Labour
Party Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. This
decision led to MacDonald's expulsion from his own
party, and Baldwin, as Lord President of the
Council became de facto Prime Minister for the
increasingly Dementia|senile MacDonald over the
next four years, when he, once again, became Prime
Minister. During his third term of office, from
1935 to 1937, his foreign policy was much
criticised, and he also faced the problem of the
abdication of King Edward VIII of the United
Kingdom|Edward VIII. With this successfully
achieved he retired after the coronation of the
new King George VI of the United Kingdom|George VI
and was created Earl Baldwin of Bewdley.
