In December 1916, H. H. Asquith resigned, and Lloyd George became Prime Minister, guiding the country through the remaining war years. One of his most significant acts during this time was the establishment of unity of command of the allied forces. After the war ended, he was a prominent figure in the Peace Conference, held in Paris, in 1919. In 1921, he carried through the Anglo-Irish Treaty, after lengthy negotiations. When, in 1922, the Conservative members of the government decided to resign, therefore making it impossible to continue the Coalition, Lloyd George also resigned as Prime Minister.
