A detailed Summary of Winston Churchill 2

"Let us never brace ourselves to our duties, so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was our finest hour!'"

He is most known as the prime minister of Britain during World War II, and for bringing Britain from the brink of being defeated.

Churchill attended a school by the name of Harrow in 1888. His father placed him in the school because Winston was doing very badly in speech and arithmetic, and showed no evidence that he cared about his future. Then, in 1892, he went to Sandhurst Military Academy. Here, Winston learned about how his father, Randolph Churchill, was a politician in the House of Commons.

In 1915, Churchill was announced as the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He served on the front in France as Lieutenant Colonel. However, he returned to Government as the Minister of Munitions in 1917. He was also voted Secretary of State for War and Air. He joined the coalition party between 1917 and 1922 until it's collapse. After this, Winston took a break from Parliament for two years. He returned to the conservative government in 1924 and was given the job of Chancellor of the Exchequer.
