Times Background

However, these practices fueled the fascist arrogance, and the war finally burned to his doorstep. At the critical moment when Britain was at a national crisis, Churchill, who had a perseverance in war, was ordered to lead the British people to resolutely resist the invasion of fascists. It was Churchill, a hardline leader, who came to power that determined that Britain would not be destroyed during this period of global political turmoil.

World Crisis
html In the mid-230s, there were differences in the struggle between appeasers and hardliners in Britain. After Chamberlain, the leader of the appeasement faction, came to power in May 1937, the appeasement policy officially became the basic national policy of British diplomacy and was fully implemented. The outbreak of World War II provided opportunities for Churchill's rise. At that time, Churchill was a recognized leader of the hardliner against Germany in British politics. When Hitler came to power, Churchill firmly opposed Chamberlain's policy of appeasement of blindly compromise and concession, and advocated a tough policy of resolute containment and resistance against German and Italian invaders. With the outbreak of the war, Chamberlain's appeasement policy was completely bankrupt. In 1939, Churchill, who had always been in charge of the war, entered the reorganized Chamberlain Cabinet and served as the Minister of the Navy. On May 10, 1940, forced by the war situation, Chamberlain resigned as prime minister, and Churchill was immediately appointed as prime minister and minister of national defense. Soon, the front-line battle situation took a sharp turn, and the Nazi Air Force launched a large-scale air strike on London, England, and the British war was in a critical moment. Under Churchill's command, the British army entered the battle to defend the British Isles.
British Isles
On June 22, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union in large numbers. Churchill immediately stated that Britain would jointly fight against Germany with the Soviet Union. On July 12 of this year, Britain and the Soviet Union signed an agreement to operate joint operations in the war against Germany. In August, Churchill signed the " Atlantic Charter" with US President Roosevelt in Newfoundland. At this point, the international anti-fascist united front has finally been initially formed. As one of the main leaders of the Allies, Churchill attended important meetings held by the leaders of the Soviet, American and British countries in Tehran , Yalta and Potsdam , and made his own contribution to the final victory of the anti-fascist war .
In July 1945, Churchill, who represented the interests of the Conservative Party, lost his position as prime minister. After that, he began to create the book " Memoirs of World War II ", which won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. On March 5, 1946, Churchill visited the United States and delivered a famous speech entitled "The Pillar of Peace" in Fulton.
Power of Peace Speech
1951 to 1955, Churchill was once again appointed as the British Prime Minister . From 1956 to 1958, he published "History of the English Nationality". In 1963, he was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen" in the United States. Churchill died on January 24, 1965 at the age of 91.
Political Strategy
Churchill, the omnipotent prime minister of civil and military affairs, is a firm defender of the interests of the British Empire. He opposed the colonial national liberation movement, opposed appeasement policies, and attacked Bolshevikism. These attitudes greatly influenced the British ruling policy on the inside and outside, and safeguarded the interests of the bourgeois rulers.
Churchill made some political claims during his tenure as prime minister, which undoubtedly meant that the last dose of a heart-wrenching injection was injected into decline. When Britain and the entire Europe were at a critical critical moment, Churchill's tough main war policy played a great role in defending Britain's rights and interests. At the same time, he wisely proposed to form an alliance with the Soviet Union to jointly oppose fascist aggression, promoted the establishment and development of the international anti-fascist united front, and made positive contributions to the anti-fascist struggle of the people of the world, and Britain won the war as a result.
The famous "big three"
Churchill also personally focused on cultivating the British-US relations that influenced the political landscape of the world at that time and later. During his visit to the United States, he promoted the unity of the United States and Britain to jointly deal with the Soviet Union and the world communist movement. Afterwards, the United States set off an anti-Soviet wave, kicking off the post-war "Cold War era".
After in World War II, Churchill first developed the idea of European union. He first proposed the establishment of the "United States of Europe", and then proposed the "Three Ring Policy", namely: the first Ring is the Commonwealth Empire, the second Ring is the English-speaking world including the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, and the third Ring is the United Europe. The proposal of these policies aims to strengthen the role of Britain in world affairs. Of course, these claims also had a certain impact on the later formation of international relations and world pattern in Western Europe.

It is particularly worth mentioning that during World War II, he led Britain to the road to victory with the highest administrative chief. His dog-like appearance, eloquent eloquence, V-shaped gestures symbolizing victory, the never-ending cigar , and the endless humor and wit have brought incredible motivation and courage to the British in distress, as well as the people of all countries around the world who oppose fascism and stick to the camp of democracy and freedom.
