UK Prime Ministers

Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill both did. There was third, if I remember correctly, but I can't remember his name.

* Sorry misread the question... it was Winston Churchill that led them to victory.

To let Churchill lead the nation in WW2. Also, he had: 1) Not prepared the UK sufficiently (through re-armament) for war with Germany and 2) supported Chamberlain's policy of appeasement with Nazi Germany.

Technically, Neville Chamberlain was the Prime minister at the START of the war. He was unwilling to be "responsible for" and "go down in history" for an inevitably destructive war. His nickname was "The Coroner." He only spent about 2 years as the PM.

Chamberlain was 68 when he became the PM and was educated at Rugby School and Mason College (now the University of Birmingham). Chamberlain is little remembered because he didn't have the balls to deal with war, though he would likely not have been enough of a boss (like his successor) to support and encourage his country during wartime (especially WORLD WAR II).

Perhaps the most famous Prime Minister in our life times (and the boss-est gangsta ever to lead the British), Sir Winston Churchill, became the Prime Minister in 1940, though the actual war start on September 1, 1939. He was a boss...(:

On 20 November 1990, Thatcher failed to win outright on the first ballot of the Conservative party leadership challenge, against Micheal Heseltine. The contest then went to a second ballot (on November 27th) in which Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd and Chancellor of the Exchequer John Major joined in. Major received 185 votes and was technically a few votes short of a clear victory, however Heseltine and Hurd withdrew from the contest in Major's favour. It was therefore announced that Major was elected unopposed as Leader of the Conservative Party on November 27, 1990. He was summoned to Buckingham Palace to become Prime Minister on November 28th 1990, succeeding Thatcher who had held the post since May 1979.

Major had held three cabinet posts before the premiership. He entered the cabinet as Chief Secretary to the Treasury in June 1987. In July 1989 he was promoted to Foreign Secretary, but spent only 3 months in the job before becoming Chancellor of the Exchequer in October 1989.

Anyone is entitled to become Prime Minister if they are a British national- it requires no formal qualifications or University degrees, nor any substantial background in finance or buisness. But it IS necessary to have developed political experience- you need to have belonged to a political party of your choice for a significant number of years, and to have served for some time in local or regional Government as an elected Councillor.

This will stand you in good stead to stand as a Parliamentary candidate at a general election, provided that the party in your constituency is prepared to back your candidacy- if you are elected, you become an official Member of Parliament and begin as a 'back bencher', an ordinary MP representing your electorate with no ministerial position. You will need to have served as such for several years in order to impress the leader of your Party in the House of Commons that you have good credentials to be considered to rise above this rank- that you have the intelligence, leadership qualities, and all-round political ability to hold down a Ministerial role. If your Party is in Opposition, you can become Shadow Minister for a given aspect of government- if it is the Governing party, you assume the job and become part of what is called the Cabinet- the group of MPs who actually govern the nation. If you do well at your post, then you can in time be considered for election as Party Leader if enough of your Parliamentary colleagues support you.

The only basic credentials for standing for Parliament are that you have to be over 21 years old and of sound mind. Although an impressive academic CV is not necessary, most Prime Ministers DO have a background in either higher education or as big buisness executives, or as prominent figures in the world of fianance. John Major had no University degree, but he had worked as a high-flying financial executive before he entered politics. Some politicians get to become Prime Minister remarkably young- for instance, David cameron and Tony Blair were both only in their mid 40s when they took over the job. But you need to be really single-minded and quite ruthlessly ambitious to achieve this- many politicians serve out their entire working lives as back benchers without ever receiving a Ministerial portfolio.

William Ewart Gladstone ; he served as Prime Minister four separate times (1868-1874, 1880-1885, February-July 1886 and 1892-1894) .

The Allies of World War II were the countries officially opposed to the Axis powers during the Second World War. Within the ranks of the Allied powers, the British Empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States of America were known as "The Big Three". U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the Big Three and China as the "Four Policemen". Poland and France, before its defeat in 1940 and after Operation Torch in 1942, were considered major allies.[1][2] During December 1941, Roosevelt devised the name "United Nations" for the Allies, and the Declaration by United Nations, on 1 January 1942, was the basis of the modern UN.[3] At the Potsdam Conference of July-August 1945, Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, proposed that the foreign ministers of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States "should draft the peace treaties and boundary settlements of Europe," which led to the creation of the Council of Foreign Ministers.[4] Today, some sources refer to the WWII "United Nations" as the "Allied Powers", as opposed to the Axis powers.
