What event led to Bonar Law becoming Prime Minister?

  • Conservative MPs voted to end the Coalition

  • General election

  • Resignation of Lloyd George

  • Death of the previous Prime Minister

Answer

Conservative MPs' vote to end the Coalition led to Bonar Law becoming Prime Minister. The Coalition, formed in 1915 during World War I, had been a wartime alliance between the Conservative and Liberal parties. However, by 1922, the Coalition had become unpopular, and Conservative MPs voted to withdraw their support. This led to the resignation of Prime Minister David Lloyd George and the appointment of Bonar Law as his successor.
