Answer 2

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1942.

Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1940 May 10 to 1945 July 26 and again from 1951 October 26 to 1955 April 7. Churchill was most famously known as the leader who led the United Kingdom to victory in World War 2. A military office in the army, Churchill also won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honourary citizen of the United States.

In 1940 Neville Chamberlain was forced to resign as his support of appeasement made him symbolically unable to lead the country. As a result, Churchill became the prime minister. Due to the war, Churchill and the Conservatives had formed a coalition government with Clement Attlee and the Labour Party. Churchill's primary focus was the war, while the Deputy Prime Minister Attlee focused on domestic issues.

In 1945, Germany would surrender. Though Churchill would remain prime minister for another 2 months, the resulting election would land a victory for Attlee and the Labour party as a post-war party.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland contains England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which do not have separate prime ministers.
