Year 11 Modern History Assessment Task
Lachlan Hunter
David Lloyd George, dominating the later political scene of World War One as an energetic Prime Minister, from (1916-1922), played a comprehensive role in establishing and laying the foundations of the modern welfare state.
We may think David Lloyd George as Leader for the British nation, during the war, after H.H.Asquith’s stepped down as prime minister, (Due to his unpopularity, as the war was not going the way the leaders had originally planned), having no influential span during his early career, but in fact, Lloyd George had made significant changes, that we take for granted.
His major achievements where in the fields of social insurance, improving the lives for many “working class” citizens, for example the Old Aged Pensions Act of 1908 and National Health Insurance of 1911.
To date Lloyd George is the only solicitor and Welshmen to have held the position of the prime ministerial role. Born in January 17th 1863, Manchester, Lloyd George was raised by only his mother, as his father died of pneumonia when he was younger. Moving back to Wales, Caernarvonshire, and by the age of fourteen,
George was an academic, intelligent, student at school, where he was greatly influenced by his uncle, and was encouraged to take the career path into law and politics.
Passing his Law Society Examination in January 1879, Lloyd George was articled to a solicitor firm, Portmadog. From completing his training in 1884, he established his own law practice, willing to defend for social injustice, against the authority.
As his practice, was booming, new branch offices opening up, D.L.G began to be politically involved with the Liberal party, campaigning in the 1885 election, though loosing to the Irish Parliamentary Party.
Then in 1896, he successfully won the election and, entered parliament serving the Liberal party as MP for 55 years. Lloyd gained popularity, fighting for Welsh rights, EG religious
