Who is Chamberlain and Churchill?

Answer 1

He was a minister of England and Polish people love him because he saved Poland. Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940. I assume you are referring to this one because the category is English history, but there are other famous Chamberlains. The Wikipedia entry on him is informative. He was Prime Minister when World War II began. He tried to negotiate peace with Hitler through appeasement. He made the famous quote, "I believe it is peace in our time" after the Munich Pact in 1938.

Examples of other British Chamberlains:

* Austen Chamberlain was a Nobel Peace Prize winner and British politician. * Joseph Chamberlain was a British politician and father of Austen and Neville Chamberlain. * Richard Chamberlain was a British politician. There are famous American Chamberlains, too, but they have much less impact on English history:

* Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was a General during the United States Civil War. His impact on English history would only be related to the English involvement in the U.S. Civil War. * Richard Chamberlain is an American actor who starred in Shogun and The Thorn Birds, among other television and movie productions. I include mention of him because he has played British characters and I have heard some people erroneously claim that he is British.

Answer 2

Chamberlain was Prime Minister before the war started up to May 1940. He was best known for appeasing Hitler at Munich in 1938-he thought he had an assurance from Hitler not to invade other countries. But when Hitler attacked Poland, he did decide to declare war on Germany. As far as the UK was concerned, the period from September 1939 to May 1940 was called the phony war, as nothing much happened (except in Poland!). When Hitler attacked France, and soon broke through, Chamberlain was seen as weak and indecisive, and Churchill was called in by common agreement of Parliament. Churchill stayed as Prime Minister until the end of the war in Europe.
