READ ABOUT WINSTON CHURCHILL
Sir Winston Churchill was a famous British politician and author. He was the British Prime Minister during World War II and he led Britain to victory over Nazi Germany.
Winston Churchill was born to an aristocratic family on November 30, 1874. At school, he was an independent and rebellious student. He didn’t do well and in April 1888, he was sent to Harrow School, a boarding school near London. His father decided to enter him into an army career. It took Winston three tries to pass the entrance exam to the Royal Military College, but when he got there, he was a good student.
In 1895, Churchill’s father died. In the same year, Churchill joined the British Army and served in India and Africa. In 1899, Churchill left the army and worked as a war correspondent. He recorded his experiences in The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898) and The River War (1899).
In 1900, Churchill became a Member of Parliament for the Conservative Party. In 1904, he switched to the Liberal Party. When he was the First Lord of the Admiralty, he helped modernize the British Navy. He was also enthusiastic about flying and warplanes. In the final year of World War I, he became the Minister of Munitions.
In 1922, Churchill left the Liberal Party and rejoined the Conservative Party. He served as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In 1929, the Conservative Party lost the elections and Churchill was out of government. He spent the next few years concentrating on his writing and worked on his book A History of the English Speaking Peoples.
In the 1930s, Churchill saw the danger of Hitler’s Germany. On September 3, 1939, Churchill was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. On May 10, 1940, Churchill became the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence. He placed intelligent and talented men in key positions. He worked closely with U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin. The Allies won the war in 1945.
After the war, Churchill spent six years as the leader of opposition. He warned against Soviet domination in Eastern Europe. In 1951, he returned to the government and was a Member of Parliament until 1964. In 1953, he got the Nobel Prize for Literature.
