The British do not have presidents. Britain is a Constitutional Monarchy, meaning they have a King, whose function is mostly symbolic. During WWI the King was George V, grandfather of the current Queen. The most important political person in Britain is the Prime Minister. Herbert Asquith was Prime Minister when the war started, but was replaced the next year by David Lloyd George. The British dont have to wait for a regular election every so many years. If the government cant survive a no confidence vote in Parliament, a new government, with a new Prime Minister, is formed. This was how Lloyd George got the position. Parliament is the British House of Representatives.

The UK does not have a president, so nobody was president of the UK during World War I.
