== British Liberalism ==
'''British Liberalism''' is different than its [[American]] counterpart. In [[Britain]], [[Liberalism]] was historically associated with [[free enterprise]] and [[individualism]]. The old [[Liberal Party]] was opposed to [[socialism]], though its leader at the time of [[World War I]], [[David Lloyd George]] advocated social reforms in order to combat the threat of international revolutionary [[Marxism]] and the socialist [[Labour Party]], and also to improve [[national efficiency]] following the poor state of soldiers during the [[Boer War]].<ref name=BBC /> This was known as "[[New Liberalism]]", and was signalled a move from classical liberalism to [[social liberalism]].<ref name=BBC>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/higher/history/liberal/motives_lib/revision/2/ "Motives of Liberal reforms"] ''BBC Bitesize''.</ref>
