Soldier, politician and finally prime minister, Winston Churchill was one of Britain's greatest 20th-century heroes. He is particularly remembered for his indomitable spirit while leading Great Britain to victory in World War II. Churchill fought with the British Army in India and Sudan, and as a journalist was captured in South Africa (where his dispatches from the Boer War first brought him to public prominence). He became a member of Parliament in 1900 and remained an MP for over 64 years. His early topsy-turvy political career earned him many enemies, but his stirring speeches, bulldog tenacity and refusal to make peace with ADOLF HITLER made him the popular choice to lead England through World War II. When Britain and its allies prevailed in 1945, Churchill's place in history was assured. (Ironically, he lost the prime ministership two months after Germany's surrender, when the opposition Labor Party took majority control of Parliament.) One of the 20th century's most quotable wits, Churchill wrote a plethora of histories, biographies and memoirs, including the landmark four-volume A History of the English-speaking Peoples(1956-58).

In 1953 he was awarded the NOBEL Prize in Literature; he was knighted the same year. Churchill served as prime minister from 1940-45 and again from 1951-55... He married the former Clementine Hozier in 1908. They had four daughters and a son: Diana (b. 1909), Randolph (b. 1911), Sarah (b. 1914), Marigold (b. 1918) and Mary (b. 1922). Marigold died in 1921...

Winston Churchill served the rest of his term, but lost the reelection due to his stance against India's independence (The British people wanted to grant India independence, but Churchill refused to let the empire shrink).

Though Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for most of World War II and for 2 months after Germany surrendered, Winston Churchill was not the prime minister immediately after World War 2; this would be Clement Attlee. However, Churchill did become prime minister again after the war ended on 1951 October 26.
