For the world, too, it is the end of an age. Sir Winston will always be remembered as the great war leader who defied Hitler. He was given a state funeral six days later on 30 January, the first for a non-royal person since W. E. Gladstone in 1898. He consistently exhibited a "romanticised view" of both the British Empire and the reigning monarch, especially of Elizabeth II during his last term as premier. [386][387], Churchill was Great Britain's representative at the post-war Potsdam Conference when it opened on 17 July and was accompanied at its sessions not only by Eden as Foreign Secretary but also, pending the result of the July general election, by Attlee. 72. [378] On 28 March, he decided to restrict area bombing[379] and sent a memorandum to General Ismay for the Chiefs of Staff Committee:[380][381]. [512][513], Churchill married Clementine Hozier in September 1908. [368] He wrote down some suggested percentages of influence per country and gave it to Stalin who ticked it. After two years out of Parliament, he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Stanley Baldwin's Conservative government, returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-war parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure and depressing the UK economy. Churchill was born on 30 November 1874 at his family's ancestral home, Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. [129], One of the major domestic issues in Britain was women's suffrage. [309], In other initiatives through June and July 1940, Churchill ordered the formation of both the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the Commandos. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty and so bear ourselves that if the British Commonwealth and Empire lasts for a thousand years, men will still say: "This was their finest hour". Born at Blenheim Palace in 1874, Churchill joined the British Fourth Hussars upon his father’s death in 1895. Churchill, always the imperialist, believed that Britain's position as a world power depended on the empire's continued existence. Out of office from 1929 to 1939, Churchill issued unheeded warnings of the threat of Nazi and Japanese aggression.

[163] In the same month, the navy transported 120,000 British troops to France and began a blockade of German North Sea ports. At a press conference in Washington, Churchill had to play down his increasing doubts about the security of Singapore. [466][467] His self-belief manifested itself in terms of his "affinity with war" of which, according to Sebastian Haffner, he exhibited "a profound and innate understanding". [230] Out of office, Churchill was prone to depression (his "black dog") as he sensed his political talents being wasted and time passing him by – in all such times, writing provided the antidote. When implemented, it imposed stricter safety standards at coal mines. [210] He did allow some temporary restrictions following the 1921 Jaffa riots.

Kennedy, acting under authorisation granted by an Act of Congress, proclaimed him an Honorary Citizen of the United States, but he was unable to attend the White House ceremony. Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 October, Churchill called the agreement "a total and unmitigated defeat". [212] In October 1922, he underwent an operation for appendicitis. The only two candidates were Churchill and Lord Halifax, the Foreign Secretary. ;[74] and he opposed the introduction of tariffs on goods imported into the British Empire, describing himself as a "sober admirer" of the principles of free trade. [445], Churchill suffered his final stroke on 12 January 1965. [355] Events in Sicily had an unexpected impact in Italy. [173] Both of these campaigns failed and Churchill was held by many MPs, particularly Conservatives, to be personally responsible. [234], Hoping that the Labour government could be ousted, he gained Baldwin's approval to work towards establishing a Conservative-Liberal coalition, although many Liberals were reticent. [495], Whatever his political or reformist attitude at any time, Churchill was always staunchly an imperialist and a monarchist. [320], In August 1941, Churchill made his first transatlantic crossing of the war on board HMS Prince of Wales and met Roosevelt in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. [521] According to Jenkins, Churchill was an "enthusiastic and loving father" but one who expected too much of his children. In 1904, he joined the Liberals, serving in a number of important posts before being appointed Britain’s first lord of the admiralty in 1911, where he worked to bring the British navy to a readiness for the war that he foresaw. [277] There was considerable support for Churchill on both sides of the House but, as a member of the government, he was obliged to speak on its behalf. Churchill and 83 other Conservative MPs voted against it. [9] Churchill later wrote that "she had been my dearest and most intimate friend during the whole of the twenty years I had lived". [44], Seeking a parliamentary career, Churchill spoke at Conservative meetings[46] and was selected as one of the party's two parliamentary candidates for the June 1899 by-election in Oldham, Lancashire. [476] He was, according to Jenkins, "singularly lacking in inhibition or concealment". [96] Aged 33, he was the youngest Cabinet member since 1866. [99], In private life, Churchill proposed marriage to Clementine Hozier; they were married in September at St Margaret's, Westminster and honeymooned in Baveno, Venice, and Veverí Castle in Moravia. [421], On the evening of 23 June 1953, Churchill suffered a serious stroke and became partially paralysed down one side. [98] On 9 May, the Liberals stood him in the safe seat of Dundee, where he won comfortably. [160] Later, following a Cabinet decision, he boosted the naval presence in Ireland to deal with any Unionist uprising. [496][497][498] He has been described as a "liberal imperialist"[499] who saw British imperialism as a form of altruism that benefited its subject peoples because "by conquering and dominating other peoples, the British were also elevating and protecting them". [474][475] On the other hand, he was deemed to be an honest politician who displayed particular loyalty to his family and close friends. [55], In January 1900, he briefly rejoined the army as a lieutenant in the South African Light Horse regiment, joining Redvers Buller's fight to relieve the Siege of Ladysmith and take Pretoria. 71. [317], Churchill's good relations with United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped secure vital food, oil and munitions via the North Atlantic shipping routes. [493] Jenkins, himself a senior Labour minister, remarked that Churchill had "a substantial record as a social reformer" for his work in the early years of his ministerial career. [150] After the German government passed its Navy Law to increase warship production, Churchill vowed that Britain would do the same and that for every new battleship built by the Germans, Britain would build two. [269][270][271], On 3 September 1939, the day Britain declared war on Germany, Chamberlain reappointed Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty and he joined Chamberlain's war cabinet.

[140] Although he faced criticism for his decision, he stated that he "thought it better to let the house burn down rather than spend good British lives in rescuing those ferocious rascals". [293] Churchill's resolve was to fight on, even if France capitulated, but his position remained precarious until Chamberlain resolved to support him. Jenkins says that Churchill was never the same after this accident and his last two years were something of a twilight period. [33] Instead, he allied himself to the Tory democracy wing of the Conservative Party, and on a visit home, gave his first public speech for the party's Primrose League in Bath. In 1946 he gave his "Iron Curtain" speech which spoke of the expansionist policies of the Soviet Union and the creation … John Lithgow played Churchill in The Crown (2016–2019). [508][509] During an interview in 1902, while discussing his views on the Chinese, Churchill stated that the "great barbaric nations" would "menace civilised nations", but "the Aryan stock is bound to triumph".

[393], Although polling day was 5 July, the results of the election did not become known until 26 July, owing to the need to collect the votes of those serving overseas.

He was obliged to devote most of it to the subject of reform and showed a distinct lack of interest. Labour was perceived as the party that would deliver Beveridge.

[152], Churchill pushed for higher pay and greater recreational facilities for naval staff,[153] an increase in the building of submarines,[154] and a renewed focus on the Royal Naval Air Service, encouraging them to experiment with how aircraft could be used for military purposes. In one 1898 letter to her, he referred to his religious beliefs, saying: "I do not accept the Christian or any other form of religious belief".

Winston Churchill's Conservative Party lost the July 1945 general election, forcing him to step down as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.For six years he served as the Leader of the Opposition.During these years he continued to influence world affairs. [279], In the early hours of 10 May, German forces invaded Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands as a prelude to their assault on France. These actions, supplemented by his speeches, considerably enhanced Churchill's reputation. [402], Churchill continued to lead the Conservative Party and, for six years, served as Leader of the Opposition. He supported the creations of the Council of Europe in 1949 and the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951, but his support was always with the firm proviso that Britain must not actually join any federal grouping.

The purpose of this visit was to sign a treaty of friendship but Molotov wanted it done on the basis of certain territorial concessions re Poland and the Baltic States. We shall go on to the end.

Churchill later claimed that the Board of the Admiralty sent a signal to the Fleet: "Winston is back". [504] His personal doctor, Lord Moran, said of other races that: "Winston thinks only of the colour of their skin". [83] In the same month, his biography of his father was published;[84] he received an advance payment of £8,000. He died nearly two weeks later on the 24th, which was the seventieth anniversary of his father's death. [310], On 20 August 1940, at the height of the Battle of Britain, Churchill addressed the Commons to outline the war situation.

Churchill invented several words. [375][376] The attacks were part of an area bombing campaign that was initiated by Churchill in January with the intention of shortening the war. [268] On 30 September, Chamberlain signed up to the Munich Agreement, agreeing to allow German annexation of the Sudetenland. The policy was known as Lend-Lease and it was formally enacted on 11 March 1941. Afterwards, two of the burglars were found dead. The essence of his view was that, though the Soviet Union did not want war with the western Allies, its entrenched position in Eastern Europe had made it impossible for the three great powers to provide the world with a "triangular leadership". Question: How did Winston Churchill die? Churchill was determined to fight back and ordered the commencement of the Western Desert campaign on 11 June, an immediate response to the Italian declaration of war. [130] His proposed solution was a referendum on the issue, but this found no favour with Asquith and women's suffrage remained unresolved until 1918. [85] It was generally well received.

[242] He embarked on a lecture tour of North America, hoping to recoup financial losses sustained in the Wall Street Crash. In America, Churchill met Mark Twain, President McKinley and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt; he did not get on well with Roosevelt. [135] Privately, Churchill regarded both the mine owners and striking miners as being "very unreasonable". [514] They remained married for 57 years. [453] Other memorials in North America include the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, where he made the 1946 "Iron Curtain" speech; Churchill Square in central Edmonton, Alberta; and the Winston Churchill Range, a mountain range northwest of Lake Louise, also in Alberta, which was renamed after Churchill in 1956.
