In 1902 the United Kingdom voted in the Liberal H. H Asquith. However by 1907 his government had fallen and after a motion of no confidence, David Lloyd George was voted in by the liberals. During the Great War the UK sided with the Entente. Things looked in favour of the entente until Lloyd George invaded Maine in late 1914. After this catastrophic mistake the entente lost the war and Britain was lucky to keep Ireland. The Liberal Party ceased to exist as the public now hated the Party. Stanley Baldwin was voted into power in early 1918 and retained a strong grip to power until 1929 when chancellor of the Exchequer Oswald Mosely split to form his own party known as the British Union. In the 1930 election the right wing vote was split deeply with the Labour Party emerging victorious with Ramsay MacDonald being elected. Soon after the Labour Party disowned him for trying to negotiate with the British Union. They elected Philip Snowden as a replacement but MacDonald’s Independent Labour still kept power. He refused to hold a snap election knowing that he would never win. In 1935 the British Union won power and the Conservative Party led by Winston Churchill were purge. He ended up leaving for America to take refuge. Shadow foreign secretary, Anthony Eden was arrested and executed. In 1936 King George V died and was succeeded by Edward VIII. Edward had been engaged to Wallis Simpson but Oswald was paranoid that she was an American spy so had her arrested and deported. He forced the King to marry a Danish Princess. The two had a son in 1938 called George Edward David Charles Windsor. In 1941 Britain had aligned with Nazi Austria and were thrown into war again. The English resistance, led by Winston Churchill, proved to be superior and Oswald Mosley lost the war in 1944 and his life in 1946. During the war the Queen and Prince of Wales were killed in a bombing raid leaving Edward heirless. In an effort to ease relations he married Henry IV’s younger sister, Louise however the two ended up having Siamese twin named Alberta and Augusta. They were barred from succession however were made Ladies of the White House in 1962. In 1957 Winston Churchill resigned and Rab Butler was made Prime Minister. In 1959 the Liberal Party was brought back under David Steel who instantly won over the nation. In 1961 Rab Butler was re elected but was forced into a coalition with the Liberals much to his annoyance. In 1963 Rab Butler resigned due to health reasons and was succeeded by the Lord Home. The new Prime Minister was viewed as out of touch so during the 1966 election lost power to David Steel. Despite being popular with the public the Prime Minister was viewed as laughable by the press. Due to failing in most elections the Independent Labour Party rebranded itself as the New Momentum Party or the NMP. In 1969 The UK sought to ease US relations by sending Foreign Minister Roy Jenkins to the Moon Landing Launch. Due to this the Kings of both nations met in November of the same year to discuss the formation of an anti Soviet alliance called NATO. Tragedy struck in 1972 as King Edward VIII died and was succeeded by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1973 Tony Benn was elected as the Prime Minister under a minority government of the Labour Party. Michael Foot of the NMP offered to possibly coalate with the government but was shut down. The Liberal Party saw a very bad year in 1974 as Five Members of Parliment: Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Shirley Williams, Bill Rodgers and Paddy Ashdown, all split off to form the Social Democratic Party. In 1978, Margaret Thatcher of the Conservative Party was elected over Benn and Steel to become the first female Prime Minister. Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in 1981 and the two only had one child called Prince Louis. The Liberal Party decided to merge with the Labour Party in 1982 as the Social Liberal Party under Neil Kinnock. Thatcher resigned in 1986 and the new Prime Minister, Ken Clarke only lasted two years until the SDP was elected under David Owen. Owen made firm friends with Edward II of America. Owen was continually popular until 2001 when he stepped down. The Conservatives were able to get elected under Michael Portillo. Portillo was well received by Britain but was mocked for making Iain Duncan Smith the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In 2009 Nigel Farage broke from the Torys and set up the National Party. In the 2010 election the Social Democrats beat David Davis, who hoped to be Tory Prime Minister, Jeremy Corbyn of the NMP, Nigel Farage of the National Party and Tom Watson of the SLP. With Nick Clegg as Prime Minister Britain saw much Liberal change and was well liked until 2017 when he was forced to hold a snap election after doubling tuition fees. Michael Gove was made Prime Minister however nowdays is still Prime Minister but not well liked with a snap election on remberance day is set to happen.[[Category:Nations (King of America)]]
