Overview

Great Britain

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, known as the Kingdom of Great Britain from the Acts of Union in 1707 to 1800 and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1801 until 1922, is a country in the British Isles which created the most dominant empire on Earth.

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and the first woman to hold the position. Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised greater individual liberty, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Her popularity in her first years in office waned amid recession and rising unemployment. Victory in the 1982 Falklands War and the recovering economy brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her landslide re-election in 1983. She survived an assassination attempt by the Provisional IRA in the 1984 Brighton hotel bombing and achieved a political victory against the National Union of Mineworkers in the 1984–85 miners' strike. In 1986, Thatcher oversaw the deregulation of UK financial markets, leading to an economic boom, in what came to be known as the Big Bang. Thatcher was re-elected for a third term with another landslide in 1987, but her subsequent support for the Community Charge was widely unpopular, and her increasingly Eurosceptic views on the European Community were not shared by others in her cabinet. She resigned as prime minister and party leader in 1990, after a challenge was launched to her leadership, and was succeeded by John Major, her chancellor of the Exchequer.

Dawn of Man

There really is no alternative, oh Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The first woman prime minister, and the longest-serving of the twentieth century, you destroyed the post-war consensus, leaving Thatcherism in its wake. You broke the unions after the miners' strike of 1984 to 1985, privatised public assets, deregulated the financial markets with the Bing Bang, and cut inflation by raising unemployment. Overseas, you fought Argentina over the Falklands Islands in 1983, negotiated the handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China, and implemented greater ties with the United States. But after many years, you were defeated by your fellow Conservatives, leaving towering legacy Britain continues to contend with to this day.

Art by Francesca

Oh indomitable Margaret Thatcher, Great Britain is once again struggling. The individuals of your nation cry out for leadership. They want to, once again, be a prosperous, leading nation. Can you bring riches and fortune to your nation once more? Will you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?

Introduction: "Welcome to the Great Britain, and remember that we are not to be pushed around. My job is to stop Britain from going red."

Defeat: "It just occurred to me that this was the day I was meant not to see. There is no such thing as society."
