A grandson of this man had a speech impediment which led him to famously ask "Wab or Hawold" when deciding who should succeed Anthony Eden, and a son of this British politician joined with Jan Smuts and Woodrow Wilson to design the League of Nations, for which he was awarded the 1937 Nobel Peace Prize. This man argued that the Monroe Doctrine had no place in international law in response to a letter from Richard Olney, but he eventually backed down on the Venezuela boundary dispute. This Prime Minister reluctantly agreed to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance proposed by his Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, and he himself first came to prominence as Foreign Secretary in his role organizing the Congress of Berlin. This PM worked with Theophile Delcasse to bring about a peaceful resolution to the Fashoda Incident, and he formed a coalition government with the Liberal Unionists which was inherited by his nephew and successor as PM, Arthur Balfour. This noted opponent of Irish Home Rule served as PM during the Boer War.
