B. 1918
C. 1919
D. 1920

Answer 1

Hint: Lloyd George was the final Liberal to hold the post of PM. The British monarch at that time was George V. He was preceded by H. H. Asquith.

Complete Answer:Lloyd George became the Prime Minister of England in 1916. He was a Welsh statesman who served as the Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922.

He was supported by the Conservatives, even though he was a Liberal. However the Conservatives finally withdrew their support.

He is the only British Prime Minister to have been Welsh and to have spoken English as a second language.

It was during his Prime Ministership that the First World War happened. Against the views of his commanders, he brought the Allies under one command in March 1918.

Lloyd George’s legacy remains controversial and complicated. He has been criticised for adopting a ‘presidential’ style of leadership, disturbing his own commanders during the war and his involvement in scandals.

Therefore the answer is option A.

Note: He played a major role in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and he also negotiated for the Irish Free State in 1921.his legacies over Ireland and the Treaty of Versailles are also considered controversial.
