Oswald Ernald Mosley (16 November 1896 – 10 December 1936) was an Anglo-American politician who rose to fame in the 1920s as Prime Minister following Sir Robert La Follette’s resignation. Mosley was elected due to his youth and charisma whilst also being relatively unknown.
Mosley was one of the youngest Prime Ministers, first as a whig, then an independent, before forming the Anglo-American National Party in 1929.
During his term as Prime Minister he was called a tyrant for his attempts to remove all African-Americans from the UKA. When he called the 1929 election a year early, the Whig Party refused to run him as a candidate and ran the much more moderate, Franklin Roosevelt. Mosley found his new party, the AANP, to keep his old position as Prime Minister and won a surprise victory, although an investigation in 1958 proved he rigged both the 1929 and 1934 elections.
Mosley was imprisoned by the King for apparently abusing his power in May 1936, and the AANP was banned. This was a decision that is still controversial today. He was executed later in that year and, politically disgraced by his association with fascism.
