Bishop John Butler wrote several tracts under the name "Vindex" in defense of this man's foreign policy. He first came to power in the wake of the Battle of Punto Novo, which saw this man's predecessor fail to assist Pasquale Paoli's Corsican Uprising. This Prime Minister's first major success led to the dismissal of his French counterpart, the Duc de Choiseul, and was triggered when Spain ousted British soldiers from Fort Egmont in the Falklands. The Duke of Portland nominally led a coalition government established late in life by this man and Charles (*) Fox, though he's better known for a stint in power that saw the passage of a Catholic inheritance bill trigger the Gordon Riots. This man succeeded the Duke of Grafton in his highest office after earlier following Charles Townshend as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and proposed the Conciliation Plan shortly before being ousted in the first-ever vote of no confidence after the Battle of Yorktown. For 10 points, identify this British Prime Minister who served shortly after Pitt the Elder and presided over the American Revolution.
