User:Lord Milner/sandbox/Lord Milner's Life Timeline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article traces the life timeline of Lord Alfred Milner, (March 23, 1854 - May 15, 1925), an English statesman and important War Cabinet member of Prime Minister David Lloyd George's coalition government during World War I. Milner played a pivotal role in the war. A friend of French Prime Minister Clemenceau, he persuaded Clemenceau to appoint French General Ferdinand Foch as Allied Commander in Chief of the Western Front in France. This occurred at a secret meeting called the Doullens Conference, held in Doullens, France, on March 26, 1918. Foch's appointment helped to turn the war around and bring it to an armistice and an early conclusion on November 11, 1918.
