General Notes (Husband)
1 NAME The Elder "The Great/Commoner"/
PITT, WILLIAM (1708-1778), the first Earl of Chatham, was a British statesman. He is chiefly remembered as the "organizer of victory" and empire builder during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), and for his powerful defense of the rights of the American colonists.
Pitt was born in Westminster. He was the son of a member of Parliament and attended Eton College and Oxford University. In 1735, he entered Parliament. From the first, he distinguished himself by his fiery attacks on Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole and on the practice of subsidizing troops from the German electorate (territory) of Hanover with British money.
Pitt ended his attacks after he was appointed paymaster general of the British military forces in 1746. In this office, he acquired a reputation for unusual honesty. Eventually, however, he bitterly denounced both the government's war policy and the weakness of its leader, the Duke of Newcastle. This action led directly to Pitt's dismissal in 1755. But he returned to office as secretary of state in 1756, when British military failures during the Seven Years' War led to Newcastle's fall from power. Pitt was again forced from office in 1757, but he returned the same year. "I know," he said, "that I can save this country, and that no one else can."
Pitt's task seemed insurmountable. On every side he found defeat and confusion. However, in five years, Britain gained great success, for which Pitt took the credit. He sent troops and money to Frederick the Great of Prussia and attacked France on all fronts. Great victories, especially in 1759, marked his policy everywhere. The French were defeated in India, America, Europe, and the West Indies, as well as on the sea. But other British ministers opposed Pitt when he demanded that war also be declared on Spain. He resigned as secretary of state in 1761.
During the next five years, Pitt resumed his opposition to the government. He denounced the Peace of Paris (1763) as far too lenient and aroused the British people to criticize the House of Commons. Pitt also denounced British policy toward the American colonists. As a result, he became an extremely popular figure in America.
Pitt was too powerful to remain out of office for long. In July 1766, he became prime minister and had his first opportunity at full control of the government. But his ministry lacked unity, and he lost political influence when he entered the House of Lords as the Earl of Chatham in August. He and his ministers proved incapable of solving troubles in America and India. Although Pitt had been an outstanding wartime leader, he had neither the patience nor the temperament for political cooperation and administration. He also failed to deal successfully with financial problems. Within a few months, Pitt was disabled by mental illness. He resigned his post as prime minister in October 1768.
During the next 10 years, Pitt remained politically ineffective because of poor health. He supported parliamentary reform. He also protested against British policy in America and worked to satisfy grievances. Pitt's commitment to such causes limited his popularity in Britain, and he failed to gain much of a following. But he always remained capable of dominating his listeners, and his last speeches on the American war were among his best. Pitt's son William Pitt the Younger served as prime minister of Britain from 1783 to 1801 and from 1804 to 1806.

William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, known as 'the Great Commoner', dominated the political scene influencing government from within and without. He is remembered for his vocal criticism of harsh British policy levied against the American colonies and his skills as a wartime leader during the Seven Years' War. Pitt was the son of a member of Parliament and the grandson of Thomas Pitt who had helped to build British trade in India. He entered Parliament in 1735 at the age of 27 after attending Oxford. He gained attention by leading the Patriot faction in opposition to prime minister Sir Robert Walpole, but his skills at oratory did not establish for him a power base. His first office was as paymaster-general,1746, where he made a name for himself by his honesty and failure to take financial advantage of the office. Discouraged by his lack of progress within government, he turned to criticizing the Duke of Newcastle, and his government's war policy, resulting in his dismissal in 1755. After Newcastle resigned in 1756, Pitt formed a government with George Grenville and the Duke of Devonshire. Pitt and Grenville argued over the administration of the war and in April, 1757, King George II dismissed Pitt. After several months with virtually no government, Pitt was recalled to government at the outbreak of the Seven Years' War to form a coalition government with Newcastle.
Pitt served very effectively as a wartime prime minister with Newcastle attending to domestic affairs. He sent a strengthened British fleet to blockade French ports and provided supplies to Frederick the Great of Prussia. His policies resulted in victory over the French in India and Canada and on the seas. He sought to continue the war until France was completely defeated, and broaden the war by declaring against Spain. He met with opposition by other ministers and disagreement by George III. He resigned in 1761 and spent the next five years criticizing the government. He called the 1763 Peace of Paris "too lenient", encouraged criticism of the House of Commons and denounced British policy toward the American colonies gaining him a following both at home and in the colonies.
Second Ministry (1766-68) In July, 1766, Pitt was recalled to form and lead another coalition government. This time, he met with little success as prime minister. He entered the House of Lords as Earl of Chatham which proved a disaster. His government was unable to deal with the problems in America; he supported the Americans against the king, but was not for independence; and in fact, proved incapable of governing at home as well. His most loyal ministers resigning around him, Pitt fell into depression and resigned his office October 1768.
Pitt did not leave the political arena. He continued to speak out against British policy in the colonies and fight for parliamentary reform, but he gained little following. He was a statesman, not a politician. He collapsed in the Lords speaking out against the withdrawal of troops from the colonies and died a month later in 1778 at the age of 70.

General Notes for Child William Pitt Prime Minister
1 NAME The /Younger/
Installed as Prime Minister by George111 in December 1783, when he was 24 years old. Never married.
PITT, WILLIAM, THE YOUNGER (1759-1806), was a British statesman. He became Great Britain's chancellor of the exchequer at the age of 23 and prime minister at 24. He was the youngest person ever to hold either post. Pitt served as prime minister from 1783 to 1801 and from 1804 to 1806. He also dominated British politics between those two terms. He was the son of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, who was also a leading British statesman.
William Pitt the Younger was born in Kent and entered Cambridge University at the age of 14. After graduation in 1776, he studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1780, but his main interest lay in politics. In January 1781, Pitt entered Parliament. His amazing abilities quickly made him outstanding. His first speech, always one of the most difficult tests in politics, was remarkable. In committee work, he was informed, penetrating, and self-possessed.
Almost immediately, Pitt began to press for parliamentary reform and the reduction of the influence of the king. He quickly gained favor with older politicians. He served as chancellor of the exchequer in 1782 and 1783.
In December 1783, Pitt became prime minister. He held this office for the next 17 years. During the first three months, he experienced great difficulty in the House of Commons because he single-handedly had to meet the attacks of the opposition, led by Charles James Fox, Edmund Burke, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and Lord North. In March 1784, however, Pitt called for a new election and scored a great triumph. This provided him with a majority in the House of Commons.
Pitt then turned his attention to improving the British economy. He increased government revenue, funded the national debt, improved the government's credit, and negotiated a free-trade treaty with France. He extended the authority of the British government over India. But Pitt also had troubles. King George III suffered from a disease--probably porphyria--that, beginning in 1788, made him appear to be mentally ill. Pitt had to struggle against a Whig party campaign to name the Prince of Wales as regent. Pitt feared that if the Whigs succeeded, they would take over the government. George's recovery in 1789 relieved the situation.
A more important problem--the French Revolution--soon challenged Pitt. At first, he failed to sense its significance. But his attitude changed when France declared war on Britain in 1793. Pitt organized a vast coalition of European countries to fight France. After some successes, the alliance suffered military defeats. Several nations left the alliance. After the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte in France, the situation steadily grew worse. Pitt entered into peace negotiations with the French government, but was unsuccessful. The coalition came to a dismal end when Napoleon's triumphs over Austria brought about Austria's withdrawal from the coalition.
Britain remained at war with France, and Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798 to destroy British trade with the Middle East. But after Napoleon had arrived in Egypt, a British fleet destroyed his fleet in the Battle of the Nile. Pitt then helped form a second coalition of nations against France, and the coalition defeated the French army in Italy. But Napoleon returned to France and, in 1800, scored a decisive victory against the coalition.
Pitt resigned from office in March 1801 after his failure to persuade George III to allow Roman Catholics to enter Parliament at the time of the Act of Union. The Act of Union had formed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland earlier in 1801. Pitt returned to office in 1804 to organize a third coalition of nations against Napoleon.
This coalition also fell before the French, and its failure proved disastrous to Pitt. He was sadly troubled already because of the king's worsening health problems and his own poor health and disorganized finances. He could not survive the military defeats of Britain's allies. Even Admiral Horatio Nelson's astounding naval victory at Trafalgar in 1805 could not make up for the losses. Though Pitt could say "England has saved herself by her exertions, and will, I trust, save Europe by her example," he also recognized the significance of Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz. "Roll up the map," he said of a map of Europe, "it will not be wanted these ten years."

William Pitt, the Younger (1783-1801, 1804-06) TORY
Son of William Pitt the Elder, Earl of Chatham, this William Pitt is the youngest prime minister on record, winning the post at the tender age of 24 in 1783. As prime minister he is remembered for his tough policies against corruption, fiscal reform, shifting power toward the House of Commons and the union with Ireland. Pitt was precocious, entering Cambridge at 14 and Parliament at 22. He was chancellor of the Exchequer in the government of William Petty, Earl of Shelburne (1782-83). The Tories and friends of George III helped him become prime minister.
Unlike his father, Pitt the Younger had a talent for finance. He restructured Britain's finances, negotiated new tariffs with France and faired well in office until 1793 when France declared war - the beginning of years of conflict. In 1798 the Irish revolted against his policies. His solution, the Act of Union 1800, included Catholic emancipation which was rejected by the king. Pitt resigned in protest in 1801.
Returning as prime minister in 1804, he gained the support of the Austrian, Russian and Swedish leaders in an attempt to defeat Napoleon's armies. The news of Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz in 1806 is said to have caused Pitt's death.
