I cannot say one word victory victory at
all consoles victory in spite of old
Kara victory however long and hard the
road may be Winston Leonard Spencer
Churchill was born November 30th 1874 in
Woodstock Oxfordshire England Churchill
overcame poor grades and a severe speech
impediment to graduate Military College
in 1895 his background prepared him for
war correspondence he traveled the world
reporting on conflicts including stints
in Cuba and India and returned home a
war hero after escaping captured during
the second Boer War Churchill’s
political career began in 1900 when he
won a parliamentary seat for the
Conservatives four years later he
crossed the floor and from there he
ascended to prominence leading to the
first world war during that conflict he
helped invent the first tanks for combat
but was also credited with some awful
choices including the failed Gallipoli
campaign that saw heavy casualties
he then quit the cabinet and re enlisted
in the Army where he commanded as
leftenant colonel Churchill’s political
life continued upon his return to
England in 1919 he was made Secretary of
State for war and air and in 1921 he was
appointed Colonial Secretary after
losing his liberal parliamentary seat he
won another as an independent and in
1924 was made Chancellor of the
Exchequer the next year he officially
rejoined the Conservatives soon
Churchill pioneered the decision for
Britain to readapt the gold standard
which caused unemployment and ultimately
a general worker strike in 1926 by 1929
the Conservatives fell and Churchill
lost support he took a break from
politics to write during his wilderness
years soon he voiced his distrust of
Adolf Hitler and Germany when the
country began rearmament efforts in 1930
to 1938 Munich agreement between Britain
France and the Nazis allowed Germany to
annex part of Czechoslovakia and
convinced Churchill that
was inevitable weakness in this country
encourages potential enemies anyone can
see that public opinion is growing in
favor of compulsory national service in
Britain ultimately declared war on
Germany September 3rd 1939 and Churchill
was immediately selected as First Lord
of the Admiralty World War two
devastated Europe and Britain so heavily
that British Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain stepped down the next year
Churchill was seen as a viable successor
and he took office May 10th 1940 to lead
the wartime coalition government for the
Conservatives I have nothing to offer
but blood toil tears and as commander in
chief Churchill made policy decisions
and controlled the military he remains
steadfast against Hitler and refused to
appease the Nazis he ruled through
brutal clashes like the Battle of
Britain and the Blitz Churchill also
cultivated an important relationship
with Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s United
States the u.s. then provided food
weapons and eventually added strength
during the war when they joined in 1941
after the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor as things worsened for the Allies
Churchill ignored his failing health to
travel abroad meeting world leaders like
Roosevelt and Russia’s Joseph Stalin
together these leaders were known as the
big three and their countries formed a
grand alliance
Churchill’s strategic partnership with
Russia when against his vehemently
anti-communist beliefs and he feared
communist influence in Eastern Europe
post-war this briefly lost importance
when the Germans surrendered in May 1945
thanks in large part to Churchill’s
dedication despite this he was not
re-elected that year Churchill then
served as leader of the opposition and
warned of the development of a divisive
Iron Curtain in Europe in the face of
the brewing cold war Churchill’s
conservatives were narrowly re-elected
in 1951 Churchill used overseas
conflicts during his second term to
solidify Britain’s status as a world
power in 1953 he was honored with the
Nobel Prize in Literature however that
year he also suffered a stroke that
affected him physically and mentally by
1955 at age 80 his health had declined
further and Churchill stepped down as
Prime Minister he stayed in Parliament
until 1964 but suffered a serious stroke
the next January Churchill died days
later
On January 24th 1965 his state funeral
attracted many including an impressive
group of reverent world leaders not only
was Churchill a valuable wartime leader
he was also a prolific writer and artist
his trademark wit top hat and cigar made
him memorable while his fiercely
determined speeches proved his power for
these reasons he is considered one of
the most important world leaders in
history we shall defend our island
whatever the cost may be we shall fight
on the beaches we shall fight on the
landing grounds we shall fight in the
fields and in the streets we shall fight
in the Hills we shall never surrender
