This man got his first major break when being appointed to the post of Junior Lord of the Admiralty during the ministry of the Duke of Portland. Soon afterwards, he was appointed to Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was at that time a less important office than what it would later become. This man's long stint as Foreign Secretary came to an end with the demise of Melbourne's administration, when he was replaced by Lord Aberdeen, who was considerably less interventionist than this man. This man famously made his Civis Romanus sum speech in defense of his stance on the Don Pacifico Affair. This man was both preceeded and succeded by John Russell in his most famous post, during which the Second Opium War occurred as well as the American Civil War. For 10 points, name this last British Prime Minister to die in office, known for his aggressive liberal interventionist stance on foreign policy, and who sometimes lends his name to his namesake "age".
