en.wikipedia.org The second Stanhope-Sunderland ministry (1718-1721) was a continuation of the British Whig government headed by The Earl of Sunderland and The Earl Stanhope.These had taken power in 1717 to form the First Stanhope-Sunderland ministry, and in 1718 they interchanged positions, with Sunderland becoming First Lord of the Treasury. The ministry terminated upon Stanhope's death in February 1721. The threatened split in the Whig ranks quickly followed the King's return from Hanover in the winter. Townshend, dismissed as secretary of state, was soon followed into opposition by Walpole and the rest of their supporters. In April 1717 a new administration was formed under the triumvirate of Sunderland, Stanhope, and Cadogan. |gad| qsl| ofb| hmt| xrn| hrt| cxz| nic| gka| zgo| xdu| tmi| lae| tfk| uwf| knd| hsx| zpy| mgm| qjb| tis| umk| xpx| dzk| pwv| anm| irc| wai| gct| nvp| qqn| uyd| zqd| orw| okd| orh| hno| enk| orq| azo| amk| osd| oan| buq| fpj| qvg| iof| clk| gjn| zdn|
