Churchill

0/5 ( ratings)

Winston Churchill was Prime minister from 1940-45 and again from 1951-55. Perhaps the most determined and inspirational war leader in Britain's history, it was during that darkest summer of 1940 that Churchill's astonishing oratory seemed to rally the nation, from his opening statement to the House of Commons on May 13 that he had 'nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat'. Each successive crisis produced phrases that have resounded ever since, from the danger of invasion after the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk to the Battle of Britain . However, he lost the general election in June 1945. He was returned to Downing Street in 1951, finally retiring in 1955.
