Baldwin, Stanley

Born Aug. 3, 1867, at Bewdley, Worcestershire; died Dec. 14, 1947, at Astley Hall, Worcestershire. English statesman; leader of the Conservative Party.

Baldwin was joint owner of the steel company Baldwins Ltd. Beginning in 1908 he was a member of Parliament. From 1921 to 1922 he was minister of trade and from 1922 to 1923, minister of finance. From May 1923 until January 1924 and from November 1924 until June 1929 he was prime minister. Baldwin’s government suppressed a general strike of the English workers (May 1926), carried out military intervention against the Chinese revolution, and broke off diplomatic relations with the USSR (May 1927). From 1931 to 1935, Baldwin was lord president of the council; from 1935 to 1937 he was again prime minister. Baldwin adhered to a policy of appeasement toward fascist aggression.
