It changed a few times. Neville Chamberlain was the prime minister at the beginning of the war, but then the people realized that Winston Churchill had been right about Hitler being a bad man, and they brought him in 1940-45 and then Clement Attlee came in at the very end of the war.

Why did the british refuse to recognize US as a sovereign nation?

After the Revolutionary War, Britain continued to see the US as still its colonies. Even though Britain made a treaty to end the war, it felt that the new country would not survive long and when it fell apart, it would reclaim as many colonies as it could. This attitude led in part to the later War of 1812.


In addition to nationalism which other factors led to world war i?

Besides nationalism, there were a few other things that caused World War I. European countries made mutual defense agreements, meaning that if one country was attacked, other countries would have to come to its rescue. Other causes include imperialism, militarism, and the assassination of Austria's archduke Franz Ferdinand.
