Je známy predovšetkým ako vojnový vodca, ktorého cieľom bolo víťazstvo nad Francúzskom, čo posilnilo britskú pozíciu vo svete. Pitt mal širokú popularitu a bol známy svojím odporom voči vládnej korupcii a podporou kolonializmu. Jeho politická moc pramenila z mimoriadnych parlamentných zručností, ktoré zahŕňali brilantnú rétoriku a majstrovské debaty.
