Winston Churchill had an incredible background, which had earned him the respect of the people and the influence as the second most powerful individual in the United Kingdom. Churchill enrolled into a Military college when he was of age, and participated in many conflicts surrounding the areas of Cuba, India and Sudan. In 1908, Churchill became a politician. During his time as a member of parliament, he began the movement to support the labor class of the British, introducing the ideas of minimum wage, insurance for the unemployed and most importantly the People’s Budget, which taxed the rich to support the social departments. These achievements within the military and in the parliament supported his ethos when regarding the people.

The year was 1940; the world’s second great World War was in full swing, with Britain and Germany at the forefront. The fall of Britain’s closest ally, France, stunned the British Empire and threw it into disarray. Through the chaos, Winston Churchill emerged. Churchill would be an inspiring leader who was able to rally the entire nation in times of hardship. Through his leadership, the “British Bulldog” would face the Axis powers and come out victorious, as well as become a public hero for the British people. Yet, immediately after the war, Churchill did not return to the prime minister seat because of a shocking defeat in his re-election, despite his immense reputation he gained from the war. Though lauded by the British population for his prowess as a wartime leader, Churchill’s conservative politics were out of touch with a population ready for post-war relief and led to his defeat in the 1945 election.

His life is an example of his spirit, overcoming the difficulties with which he was presented, and making himself stronger as a result of it. Churchill was a more than just a great speaker though; he was a great man and a great leader as well. He took over as Prime Minister of Britain during one of the most trying times ever to come upon the country, and led his country to eventual victory over their adversaries.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965) is one of the most celebrated, criticized, and without question debated political figures in world history. While Churchill had a long and controversial political career, most notably his nine years as Prime Minster of Great (1940-45, 1951-55), his fame, something many view as a crucial aspect of his life he thrived off of and live for, spanned well beyond the years he held various positions in political office.

When Winston Churchill was young, both of his parents weren't around for him. His father was always working. His father was a part of the Bar; which was the political field in Ireland. His mother loved to enjoy her own time and not be bothered by anyone. Winston clung to his nurse, “Mrs. Everest” (Churchill 5) because she was the only one that cared for him everyday. Mrs. Everest would take him to visit her husband on the weekends. That is when Winston witnessed the battle ships returning home from the battle with the Zulus. The next time he saw the ships; they were sunk. He could imagine the men on the ship trying to find a way out and survive as the ship sank.

Winston Churchill was not always the successful man he is portrayed in the movies nowadays. Although it seems like he is immune to failure, he has had some of the biggest blunders in history, they are just not well known to the public. So, before we discuss the amazing success of Churchill, let’s talk about the failures that made him into the amazing Prime Minister he was. As described by Bradley P. Tolppanen in his article, ‘Churchill: rejoins the ranks: in 1915-16 Winston Churchill sought political rehabilitation on the Western Front and found a strength of character that would serve him in a greater war’ Bradley P.

After Churchill's tenure in India, he ran for a seat in Parliament. He spoke well, but the opposition he faced was just too strong. He lost his first try at an electoral office. Churchill ran for political office many times after this initial failure. In 1901, he won a seat in the House of Commons. From 1908-1939, he held many political offices.

All of these positions pale when held in comparison to his service as Prime Minister. He held this position twice during his life: once during World War II from 1940-1945, and again from 1951-1955.
