Frederick, Lord North was the Prime Minister from the beginning of the war until shortly after the Battle of Yorktown when he was forced to resign in disgrace because of the British defeat in that battle. Charles Watson-Wentworth (Lord Rockingham) became Prime Minister after Lord North resigned however he died just 14 weeks later and William Petty, the Earl of Shelburne became Prime Minister. Lord Shelburne was the Prime Minister when the Treaty of Paris, which formally recognized American independence, was ratified.
