At the fall (1783) of the coalition government of Lord North and Charles James Fox, who was to be Pitt’s lifelong rival, Pitt was made prime minister by George III.
He overcame strong opposition in Parliament, where the king’s interference was sharply resented, and a long-postponed general election (1784) gave him a parliamentary majority.
His military coalitions against France (1793 and 1798) were unsuccessful on land, although the British navy won some overwhelming victories, and his financial support of Britain’s allies brought on a monetary crisis.
