Neville Chamberlain resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in May 1940 due to his handling of World War II, particularly the failures in the Norwegian Campaign, which led to criticism from both the public and members of Parliament. His policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany was increasingly seen as ineffective, and his leadership was questioned as Britain faced significant military challenges. Chamberlain's resignation paved the way for Winston Churchill to take over, as many believed he would better unite the country and lead the war effort.
