Churchill Leads Great Britain

Churchill was the prime minister of Great Britain during World War II. During the early 1900s, Churchill was first elected to Parliament. Though selected because of his service in the Boer War, he soon charmed his colleagues with his silver tongue. His ideology switched during the year 1904 when he officially changed his political party to liberal. This action epitomized his transition from supporting free trade and low  tariffs to supporting welfare programs and reform. Soon, these ideas would be instrumental for the country.

Churchils unique leadership abilities helped him and all of Great Britain manage throughout World War 2. Churchill's famous eloquence was key in maintaining British morale during the German's Blitzkrieg. In addition, Churchill's liberal inclination was essential in his leadership during such an era. After many years of the policy of appeasement, it took someone who was unafraid to speak their mind to protect their country from Hitler's maneuvering around Europe. Finally, Churchill was a nationalist and a realist. These were helpful aspects in his persuasion of the British people. He did not hide the distressing facts of war, but instead he used them to gather nationalism, pride and loyalty to his country.
