Robert Walpole (26 August 1676 – 18 March 1745) was a British statesman widely regarded as the first de facto Prime Minister of Great Britain, serving from 1721 to 1742. Born into a Norfolk gentry family, he entered Parliament in 1701 and rose through the Whig Party. After stabilizing the economy following the South Sea Bubble crisis, he became the dominant figure in government under Kings George I and George II. Walpole pursued a policy of peace and low taxes, fostering economic growth and consolidating Whig power. His long tenure established the conventions of cabinet government and the role of the Prime Minister, making him a pivotal figure in British political history. more
