Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stanley Baldwin, KG, PC (3 August 1867 14 December 1947) was a British Conservative politician, statesman, and major figure on the political scene in the interwar years. He served three terms as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; first from 1923 24 then 1924 29 and again from 1935 37. He was born at Lower Park House, Lower Park, Bewdley in Worcestershire, England to Alfred Baldwin and Louisa Baldwin (née MacDonald) and through his mother was a first cousin of the writer and poet Rudyard Kipling. The family owned the eponymous iron and steel making business that in later years became part of Richard Thomas and Baldwins. Baldwin was educated at St Michael's School, Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge. He later wrote that "all the king's horses and all the king's men would have failed to have drawn me into the company of school masters, and in relation to them I once had every qualification as a passive resister."
