Popularly known by his title name Lord North, Frederick North was the Prime Minister of Great Britain who served from January 1770 to March 1782. Hardworking and diligent, he served in the governments of the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Chatham, rising to the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. He earned the favour of King George II who liked him for his moderate politics. King George II used him to lead the party of royal allies he had nurtured in the Commons. Rising to the post of the Prime Minister, he led Britian through most part of the war of Independence. Things turned for worse as the American Revolution led to the loss of Great Britain’s American colonies. It was this loss that led him to resign from his office of the Prime Minister.
