Jump to

David Lloyd George was born on January 17, 1863 in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, England, UK. He was a writer, known for The First World War (2003), Hearst-Selig News Pictorial, No. 26 (1915) and Pathé News, No. 24 (1915). He was married to Frances Stevenson and Mrs. Lloyd George. He died on March 26, 1945 in Ty Newydd, Llanystumdwy, Gwynedd, Wales, UK.

He served as British Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922 and was the final Liberal to hold that position.
In March 1917, following the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, Lloyd George offered immediate asylum in England to the Romanov family. However, he was forced to withdraw this offer following a personal intervention from King George V, who was alarmed by the unpopularity in England of the former emperor and felt the presence of the family could lead to an uprising.
Albert Sylvester served as Lloyd George's Principal Private Secretary from 1923 until George's death.
He was the great-grandfather of Robert Lloyd George.
He was raised to Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, in the County of Caernarvonshire, on January 1, 1945. The title is now held by his great-grandson, David Richard Owen Lloyd George (b. 1951).

[referring to the Versailles conference and his two Allied colleagues, Woodrow Wilson and Georges Clemenceau] I think I did as well as might be expected, seated as I was between Jesus Christ and Napoléon Bonaparte.
Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
Germany does not want war. Hitler does not want war. He is a most remarkable personality, one of the greatest I have ever met in the whole of my life, and I have met some very great men. Affection is a quite inadequate word to describe the attitude of the German people towards Hitler. It amounts almost to worship. I have never seen anything like it. Some men I met who are not Nazis told me that they did not know what the country would have done without him. They are inclined to blame Hitler's supporters for some of the things which they do not approve, but there is no whisper of criticism of Hitler. It is just like our motto, 'The King can do no wrong.'
[on Winston Churchill] He would make a drum of out of the skin of his own mother in order to sound his own praises.
Hitler is one of the greatest men. The old trust him, the young idolise him. It is the worship of a nation hero who has served his country.
