Who was the initial leader of the national government?

Who was the initial leader of the national government?

• A. Stanley Baldwin
• B. Neville Chamberlain
• C. Ramsay MacDonald
• D. David Lloyd George

Answer: (C)

This question tests who first led the National Government formed in 1931 to handle the economic crisis. Ramsay MacDonald, the sitting Labour Prime Minister, was asked to form a broad coalition with Conservative and Liberal support. He agreed and became the head of the National Government, guiding it from 1931 to 1935. So he is the initial leader of that government. Stanley Baldwin led the National Government later, Neville Chamberlain followed him, and David Lloyd George led earlier administrations, not the initial National Government.
