[[Benjamin Disraeli]] was appointed [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]] for a second time by [[Queen Victoria]] after [[William Ewart Gladstone]]'s government was defeated in the [[1874 United Kingdom general election|1874 general election]]. Disraeli's foreign policy was seen as immoral by Gladstone, and following the latter's [[Midlothian campaign]], the government was heavily defeated in the [[1880 United Kingdom general election|1880 general election]], whereupon Gladstone formed his [[Second Gladstone ministry|second government]]. The ailing Disraeli, by now created [[Earl of Beaconsfield]], died in April 1881.
