By WWII he had a little pot belly. But he was nearly seventy years old. He looks to have been in pretty good shape when he was young. He was a war correspondent during the Boer War, was captured, and escaped and made his way across some astoundingly vast distance on foot to reach British lines.

Did Clementine Churchill have any brothers or sisters?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Clementine Churchill (nee Clementine Ogilvy Hozier) had three siblings:

  • Kitty Ogilvy Hozier (born 15 April 1883, died 5 March 1900)
  • William Ogilvy Hozier (born 2 April 1888, death not known)
  • Margaret Nelly Ogilvy Hozier (born 3 April 1888, died 1 February 1955)

Kitty died from typhoid fever at the age of 16.

Willliam served in the Royal Navy and reached the rank of Lieutenant.

Margaret was known by her middle name, opting to spell it Nellie though, instead of Nelly.

As you can see from the dates of birth, William and Nellie were twins, although Nellie was born the day after her brother.

The iron curtain Winston Churchill referred to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Iron Curtain symbolized dividing of Europe into two isolated parts:

  • Russia and her satellite countries, which formed military Warsaw Pact and economic Council for Mutual Economic Assistance
  • democratic counties of Western Europe which formed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (with USA) and European Community

Winston Churchill use words "iron curtain" during his speech on 5 March 1946, at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri:

"

From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an "iron curtain" has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.

"

What action prompted British prime minister Winston Churchill to declare that an iron curtain had fallen across Europe?

User Avatar

Asked by Mcsidney123

This was taken from a speech that he made on March 5th 1946 in Fulton Missouri and referring to the fact that the Soviet Union had occupied most of Eastern Europe and the citizens of the occupied countries were not allowed to travel to the west and vice versa. What he actually said was, 'From Strettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has come down across the Continent'. Incidentally, he wasn't Prime Minister at the time as he had unbelievably lost the election in 1945 - but that's democracy.

Pros and cons of Winston churchill fighting against Hitler?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume that this question refers to Churchill's leadership in World War 2. Strong points * A sense of mission - the absolute need to defeat Nazism, 'whatever the cost'. * A sense that Britain and the British Empire and Commonwealth had the same mission. * Pugnacious, a fighter by instinct. * Pro-American. * Untainted by appeasement. * Ability to hold the nation together. * Ability to delegate. * Outstanding orator. Problem areas * Failure to keep Arthur Harris (C-in-C) RAF Bomber Command under control. To a large extent Harris was allowed to run his own irrational and extremely costly own little war. * Sometimes appointed second rate commanders. * Probably had little real understanding of ordinary working-class people.

During World War II, Winston Churchill encouraged Great Britain's people in many ways. Through personal determination and resoluteness, through fiery speeches, with great creativity and energy in motivating and organizing Britain's military forces, by overseeing industrial and commercial arrangements on the Home Front, by making personal contact with soldiers and citizens affected by the war, and in many other ways, Churchill refused to allow Great Britain to falter in its pursuit of victory against the Axis.
