1852 CE to 1863 CE

Lord Palmerston (1784–1865) dominates foreign policy for decades, through a period when Britain is at the height of its power, serving terms as both Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister.

He becomes controversial at the time, and remains so today, for his aggressive bullying and his "liberal interventionist" policies.

He is intensely patriotic; he uses the Royal Navy to undermine the Atlantic slave trade.
