Asquith government

The Asquith government was the administration led by Prime Minister H.H. Asquith in the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916. It focused on social reforms like improving health and education, and introduced measures such as income tax and work-related protections. During this period, Britain faced significant challenges, including the outbreak of World War I in 1914, which shifted government priorities towards war efforts. The government aimed to modernize governance and address social inequalities, but the war also caused political and social upheaval, leading to Asquith's resignation in 1916.
