As Secretary of State, Pitt was arguably as important to British government as Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle, the Prime Minister. Pitt was the architect of the winning British strategy of financial support of Prussia, thereby tying French resources down in Europe, allowing Britain to achieve victory in North America. His term as Prime Minister (1766-1768) is generally considered unsuccessful, particularly as many of the duties and taxes that helped lay the foundation for the American Revolution were enacted by his ministry.
