History
One of the most important statesmen of the 18th Century, Pitt was foremost in the creation of a British Empire. He was determined to win the Seven Years war with France, was sympathetic to the American colonies, and strengthened Naval dominance. A commanding figure in Parliament, his classical studies had lent him the skills as an orator to be a formidable opponent. Pittsburgh, USA is named after him. His final resting place is Westminster Abbey.
