	Pitt, the Younger
		Pitt made a successful maiden speech and, in March 1782, when it was clear that a new ministry would soon be formed, announced with astonishing self-confidence that he had no intention of accepting a subordinate position.
		Pitt clearly did not take the premiership as the King's tool, for his first step was to try, on his own terms, to include Fox and his friends in the new ministry.
		Pitt honestly believed that there was a case against Hastings and, determined that the British name should be freed from the suspicion of injustice or oppression in the government of Asian peoples, supported the demand for an inquiry.

		Pitt was highly confident in the success of the Third Coalition but military defeats at Ulm (September-October, Austrians) and Austerlitz (December 2, Russians and Austrians) led to its collapse.
