Baldwin, Stanley, 1st Earl of Bewdley

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | Copyright

Baldwin, Stanley, 1st Earl of Bewdley (1867–1947) British Conservative statesman and prime minister (1923–24, 1924–29, 1935–37). He entered Parliament in 1908, and was chancellor of the exchequer (1922–23) before succeeding Bonar Law as prime minister. Baldwin responded to the General Strike (1926) by passing the Trades Disputes Acts (1927), which made any subsequent general strikes illegal. Baldwin opposed Edward VIII's marriage to Wallis Simpson and secured the King's abdication (1936). Baldwin's appeasement of European fascism is often cited as a cause of Britain's lack of preparedness at the start of World War II.
