He was Great Britain's greatest 20th-century statesman, best known for his
courageous leadership as prime minister during World War II.
He graduated from the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, but having
served in India and the Sudan he resigned his cavalry commission in 1899
to become a correspondent during the Boer War. A daring escape after he
had been captured made him a national hero, and in 1900 he was elected to
Parliament as a Conservative. Despite his aristocratic background, he
switched in 1904 to the Liberal party. In 1908 he became president of the
Board of Trade in Herbert Henry Asquith's Liberal cabinet. Then, and later
as home secretary (1910-11), he worked for special reform in tandem with
David Lloyd George. As first lord of the admiralty (1911-15), Churchill
was a vigorous modernizer of the navy.
Churchill's role in World War I was controversial and almost destroyed his
career. Naval problems and his support of the disastrous Gallipoli
campaign forced his resignation from the admiralty. Following service as a
batalion commander in France, he joined Lloyd George's coalition cabinet,
and from 1917 to 1922 he filled several important positions, including
minister of munitions and secretary for war. The collapse of Lloyd George
and the Liberal party in 1922 left Churchill out of Parliament between
1922 and 1924. Returning in 1924, he became chancellor of the Exchequer in
Stanley Baldwin's Conservative government (1924-29). As such he displayed
his new conservatism by returning Britain to the gold standard and
vigorously condemning the trade unions during the general strike of 1926.
During the depression years (1929-39) Churchill was denied cabinet office.
Baldwinand later Neville Chamberlain, who dominated the national
government from 1931 to 1940disliked his opposition to self-government
for India and his support of Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of
1936. His insistence on the need for rearmament and his censure of
Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler at Munich in 1938 also aroused
suspicion. When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939,
however, Churchill's views were finally appreciated, and public opinion
demanded his return to the admiralty.
Churchill succeeded Chamberlain as prime minister on May 10, 1940. During
the dark days of World War II that followed -- Dunkirk, the fall of
France, and the blitz -- Churchill's pugnacity and rousing speeches
rallied the British to continue the fight. He urged his compatriots to
conduct themselves so that, "if the British Empire and its Commonwealth
last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest
hour.'" By successful collaboration with President Franklin D. Roosevelt
he was able to secure military aid and moral support from the United
States. After the Soviet Union and the U.S. entered the war in 1941,
Churchill established close ties with leaders of what he called the "Grand
Alliance." Traveling ceaselessly throughout the war, he did much to
coordinate military strategy and to ensure Hitler's defeat. His
conferences with Roosevelt and Stalin, most notably at Yalta in 1945, also
shaped the map of postwar Europe. By 1945 he was admired throughout the
world, his reputation disguising the fact that Britain's military role had
become secondary. Unappreciative of the popular demands for postwar social
change, however, Churchill was defeated by the Labour party in the
election of 1945.
Churchill criticized the "welfare state" reforms of Labour under his
successor Clement Attlee. He also warned in his "Iron Curtain" speech in
Fulton, Missouri, in 1946, of the dangers of Soviet expansion. He was
prime minister again from 1951 to 1955, but this time age and poor health
prevented him from providing dynamic leadership. Resigning in 1955,
Churchill devoted his last years to painting and writing.
Churchill was also an able historian. His most famous works are The World
Crisis (4 vol., 1923-29), My Early Life (1930), Marlborough (4 vol.,
1933-38), The Second World War (6 vol., 1948-53), and A History of the
English-Speaking Peoples (4 vol., 1956-58). He received the Nobel Prize
for literature and a knighthood in 1953.
Churchill's death in 1965, like that of Queen Victoria in 1901, marked the
end of an era in British history. Born into a Victorian aristocratic
family, he witnessed and participated in Britain's transformation from
empire to welfare state, and its decline as a world power. His true
importance, however, rests on the fact that by sheer stubborn courage he
led the British people, and with them, the democratic Western world, from
the brink of defeat to a final victory in the greatest conflict the world
has ever seen.

[18852] Albert was an ordained minister. He "restored" the "e" to the surname through his interest in genealogy. He was an Episcopal priest and served in Chicago (1900-05), Wilmette (1905-07) and in Momence, Morrison, Dixon and Grand Detour. He was a Democrat and belonged to the Elks lodge. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America, and received the Silver Beaver award. After his wife died, he married his housekeeper, Minnie Davies.
