Churchill was born on November 30th, 1874. His early fascination with the military led him to join the Royal Cavalry in 1895. As both a soldier and part-time journalist, Churchill traveled widely, including trips to Cuba, Afghanistan, Egypt, and South Africa.
Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlin in 1940, Churchill was chosen to succeed him as Prime Minister. As the German Army prepared to invade most of the European continent, Churchill stood defiant and rallied all of Great Britain to stand up and fight the German onslaught.He was hands-on in both the administrative and diplomatic functions in prosecuting the British war effort. His most memorable speeches were given in this period and are credited with lifting British morale during periods of great hardship. In his 1946 speech in the United States, Churchill turned the world's eyes towards the Soviet threat now looming.
He declared that "an iron curtain has descended across the Continent" and warned of the continued danger from a powerful Soviet Russia. Churchill died in 1965 and was honored with a state funeral.
His legacy as Britain's greatest Prime Minister whose steady hand paved the way for victory for the Allies still endures the World over.
