Winston Churchill
Do you know that Winston Churchill was the British First Lord of the Admiralty for twice; once in WW1 and once in WW2? Although he was not successful in WW1, but he made a significant success in WW2. I chose him because he is a heroic general.
Winston Churchill was born on Now 30 1874. He was a politician and wartime prime minister who led Britain to victory in WW2. He joined the Liberal Party in 1904. Between 1906 and 1911 Churchill served in various governmental posts. In 1911 he became First Lord of Admiralty.
He held this title in the first months of WW1, but after the disastrous Dardanelles expedition which was a war fought against the Turks, he took the blame and was forced to resign. He joined the army though serving for a time on the Western Front which he reached the rank, colonel.
In 1917 he was back to government as minister of munitions. Winston warned Britain about the Rise of Nazi Germany, but his idea was ignored. When war broke out in 1939 he became First Lord of Admiralty. In May 1940 Neville Chamberlain resigned, and he took his place. His refusal to surrender to Germany inspired the country. He built strong relations with U.S President Roosevelt throughout the war. In 1951 he became prime minister again, but resigned in 1955. In 1953 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He died on January 24 1965.
Winston Churchill was a courageous and heroic leader. He did not success in WW1, but led Britain into Victory in WW2. He insisted on attacking Nazi Germany when he was to best surrender. With his popularity he became prime minister for Britain twice, which was very impressive. He failed once, but he stood up again.
