Stanley Baldwin

British Conservative politician. He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom three times (1923–1924, 1924–1929, and 1935–1937), dominating British politics between the World Wars. He pursued social reforms while containing conflict with the labor movement, managing the 1926 General Strike while avoiding confrontation. In the 1930s, he advanced rearmament while pursuing a foreign policy aimed at avoiding total war with Germany. During the 1936 Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII, he played a central role in encouraging the King to abdicate. He retired from politics in 1937 and was created Earl Baldwin of Bewdley.
