Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister of Britain




After the Nazis invaded Norway, PM Chamberlain resigned and Winston Churchill became Britain’s new PM.  He promised to refuse defeat or surrender. One of the major contributions made by Churchill during the war was making public broadcasts to the British people.  He was a brilliant speaker and his speeches gave hope to his people who were suffering from the Blitz (continuous bombings of Britain by Germany).

Churchill held important meetings with U.S. President Roosevelt and President Stalin of the Soviet Union. During the meetings, they discussed and planned about strategies for upcoming battles in order to defeat the Axis Powers.  Churchill led Britain throughout the war and was instrumental in helping lead the Allied countries to victory.
