He increased taxes to pay for the great war against France and cracked down on radicalism. Pitt was regarded as an outstanding administrator who worked for efficiency and reform, bringing in a new generation of competent administrators. Pitt, although often referred to as a Tory, or 'new Tory', called himself an 'independent Whig' and was generally opposed to the development of a strict partisan political system. Pitt's prime ministerial tenure, which came during the reign of King George III, was dominated by major political events in Europe, including the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.

He is known as 'Pitt the Younger' to distinguish him from his father, William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, who had previously served as prime minister and is referred to as 'William Pitt the Elder' (or 'Chatham' by historians). He was also Chancellor of the Exchequer for all of his time as prime minister. He left office in March 1801, but served as prime minister again from 1804 until his death in 1806. William Pitt the Younger ( – 23 January 1806) was a British statesman, the youngest and last prime minister of Great Britain from 1783 until the Acts of Union 1800 and then first prime minister of the United Kingdom from January 1801.
