The Liberal Party was always one of the most important political influences at the turn of the 20th century in Britain. In 1906, it performed excellently in the general elections, and won almost half of the votes. Straight before the First World War, and even after it, the Liberal Party was still a decisive power in the British political scene, but the first signs of the decline had already appeared. Between the two world wars, with the inner splits within the party, and the crescendo of Labour, the decadence of the Liberal Party was unambiguous. In the general elections of 1924, the Liberals were almost entirely defeated, and it became clear that the only real rival for power to the Conservatives was the Labour Party.
