For most of George's regency and reign, Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister, with little help from George. Liverpool's government presided over the ultimate victory in the Napoleonic Wars, negotiated the peace settlement, and attempted to deal with the social and economic malaise that followed. After Liverpool's retirement, George was forced to accept Catholic emancipation despite his opposition.
