 Austen Chamberlain Summary
Chamberlain is recorded as having made his first political address there in 1884 at a meeting of the Political Society of his university, and it would appear that from an early stage his father had intended for politics to be his future path.
Chamberlain was resolutely opposed to the dissolution of the Union with Ireland, and to the strain of these years was added the death of his father in July 1914, only a few days after the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand began the train of events which led to the First World War.
Chamberlain therefore became the only leader of the Conservative Party in the twentieth century (in the lower house) not to attain the post of Prime Minister until the advent of William Hague’s leadership.
