Immediately before the outbreak of the war, Nevile Chamberlain claimed to have brought "peace in our time" because of the Munich Accord. When Germany invaded Poland, he asked Parliament to pass a Declaration of War, and called Winston Churchill to assume the post of First Lord of the Admiralty, which he had previously held in WWI. By May of 1940, Chamberlain lost the confidence of Parliament, and King George VI asked Churchill to form a coalition war government. Churchill began by appointing himself Minister of War as well as Prime Minister.
