Sir Winston Churchill 1874 - 1965
I Vow To Thee My Country - Gustav Holst
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS (30 November 1874 -- 24 January 1965) was a British politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister twice (1940--45 and 1951--55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. To date, he is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.[1]
Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jenny Jerome, an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and through books he wrote about his campaigns.
At the forefront of politics for fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before World War I, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of the Asquith Liberal government. During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign, which he had sponsored, caused his departure from government. He then served briefly on the Western Front, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He returned to government as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Secretary of State for Air. After the War, Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Conservative (Baldwin) government of 1924--29, controversially returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-War parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure on the UK economy. Also controversial were Churchill's opposition to increased home rule for India, and his resistance to the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII.
Out of office and politically "in the wilderness" during the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in warning about the danger from Hitler and in campaigning for rearmament. On the outbreak of World War II, he was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. His steadfast refusal to consider defeat, surrender or a compromise peace helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult early days of the War when Britain stood alone in its active opposition to Hitler. Churchill was particularly noted for his speeches and radio broadcasts, which helped inspire the British people. He led Britain as Prime Minister until victory had been secured over Nazi Germany.
After the Conservative Party lost the 1945 election, he became Leader of the Opposition. In 1951, he again became Prime Minister, before retiring in 1955. Upon his death, The Queen granted him the honour of a state funeral, which saw one of the largest assemblies of world statesmen ever.

I am 86 years old with only a few years of life left, yet I don't long to be young again. I have so many rich and fulfilling memories. As a little kid I went through WW2, that terrible war, those bleak dark days that stretched into years. But I have no real regrets. I feel for the young, growing up without the experience of the heritage I know so well. It's their heritage too, belonging to a proud island race that, despite the mischief done by the envious and ungrateful, still owns world renown. We do not know what lies ahead and I do not know how much more I shall see but I am prepared to believe that better times will come. We are overwhelmed by those many of whom would supplant us but it is my prayer thst there will be some who will join with us, the British people, with a genuine desire to make the United Kingdom great again. I say to the young "Work to make our nation great again. Give glory to God. A great heritage is yours. Treasure it and, with God's help, bring it back again.

Piggy sew let’s just keep a few things in mind. 1. Churchill continued war on Germany over Poland, and was bombing Germany for months before there was bombs returned, and sided with a far more brutal communist regime which then crushed Poland sovereignty after the war which meant Churchill essentially had no intention to carry out his original goal. 2. He ignored the fact the USSR also invaded multiple countries before Germany did and also invaded Poland at roughly the same time as Germany. Churchill also ignored the fact Ethnic Germans were being murdered by Jews in Poland which was originally German to begin with, even after Hitler requested more international support they never done anything.

He was an anchor to the United States who were too hesitant to assist Great Britain to aid in there early fight against Nazi Germany and Japan. Trying to negotiate with these tyrannical led countries to America's dismay became evident. As FDR thought as ongoing negotiations with Japan; Japan were secretly plotting to attack Pearl Harbor and it was extremely successful causing the deaths of over 3,000 lives. It was a wake up call for America. Sir Winston Churchill tried to warn America of this possibility. And an angry giant awakened, but at what cost??

Today's youth only think it was an outrage because it was a white person who did it. Todays youth are alarmingly conformist. Look at India's population boom since the British ruled. They had too many children as they were given means of medicine and an endless supply of food by the British infrastructure.

I was born and raised in the City of New York, I was in 10th grade in High School. It must be further stated that such an event as we are witnessed here lasted for some 6 days(A card placed on a Wreath which was so placed on the grave of Winston Churchill read "From the nation and commonwealth in grateful remembrance" Elizabeth R ). Winston Churchill lay in state with the entire period of observance with the Funeral Procession and subsequent burial occurring on the 6th day, a Saturday.

I personally do not know what in fact you are referring to or what you are talking about. Do You Donald Reaves know much of anything about Prime Minister Churchill, if that be the case then let us know otherwise why in the deuce are you here? The Event which the British press coined the term "Atlantic Charter" was a first meeting between the then President of The United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth Winston Churchill. The meeting occurred on two amazing ships with one of the two ships being The Prince of Wales, a King George the Fifth Class Battleship(KG5). There is very excellent information about this meeting with the Prime Minister's own words making for a shared fellowship one morning on the Deck of The Prince of Wales. Officers and many High Ranking officials from both countries sang and sang I might remind everyone here, that the hymnals of the Church of England are one of the greatest concentration of magnificent verse as any musical literature. It is this opinion that has it, that the Church of England should stand front and center as one of the greatest repositories of wealth, untold wealth at that. I wish you could listen to Winston Churchill speak of those moments when there was a shared fellowship aboard the Prince of Wales somewhere in the North Atlantic.This is about your Heritage Donald Reaves, you should know it well.

[@dWFnZWVr]

Well said. I read extensively into Churchill throughout my time at university studying Britain and its imperial history. He had his flaws, as we all do, but the world would be very different if it wasn’t for Sir Winston Churchill. Many criticise him for comments he made during the time of the Bengal famine, without recognising those comments were made off record to subordinates. Churchill actually did all he could to help the Indians. He felt that no matter what he did people would always be unsatisfied. With the weight of the world resting on his shoulders, India’s demand for supplies exceeded what the British could sustain. He tried, and tried, but was continually criticised. I think we all have been guilty of making snide remarks when under stress. Yet, none of us have led the only freely standing nation against a tyrannical regime on its doorstep; and a regime backed by the greatest military force the world has ever seen. Churchill never once wished bad on the Indian people. His comments were unworthy of him, and as Sir Martin Gilbert documented the truth about Churchill, they were not a reflection of his actual feelings, nor his actions. The famine would have been substantially worse if it wasn’t for Churchill. Much of that truth is disregarded nowadays, saturated out by quotes duly noted by his subordinates and taken completely out of context. There is a fantastic article that highlights just how much he did to try and help Bengalis. It’s a great read if anyone wishes to inform themselves: winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/did-churchill-cause-the-bengal-famine/

My friend, becoming apart of a nation is a monumental task, but it isn't impossible. We on the right-wing do not despise immigrants or people of other races, no; we merely believe that the most important thing is retaining the identity of a nation, and having a slow, sensible immigration policy. We welcome those whom desire to be British, and shun those whom do not. I define nationality in two ways: the first, the nation you will fight for is your nation; the second, the nation which welcomes you and aids you in becoming apart of it, is your nation. Nationalism is about history, culture, values and people - but most of all, it's about a profound expression of the human-spirit byway of common identity (not necessarily physical) and goals. That is the core of what it is to be British. It doesn't mean white all of the time, it can mean black, yellow, brown and blue - who cares? What ultimately matters is the sense of connection and similarity. You are welcome in our country, for you appear to have an emotional appreciation for our history and our culture; I have no doubt that you may yet become British.

People forget that Sir Winston fought in the Boer War, and after the British Minister of the Army allowed the Gallipoli Campaign to fail with flip flopping of the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George over the Campaign, Sir Winston resigned from Parliament having started the development of the Tank (Not quite the A1 Abrahams, or the Challenger) and reenlisted in the Fusiliers and was sent to France and the Western Front, then there was the Brothers of Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, who were both killed in Action in France during WW1 (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Consort to King George VI) Prince Bertie, Duke of York as King George VI was known who served as a Lieutenant abroad a Battleship at the Battle of Jutland during WW1 and Lord Louie Mountbatten was a Midshipman abroad a Destroyer in the English Channel and the Mediterranean around the same time, Prince Philip served in WW2 as Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander in Command of a Destroyer in the Mediterranean too, with the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth it marks the end of the Greatest Generation of those who Fought in WW2

An empire's steadfast rock, ever kind, ever blessed has gone past down the stream. Rest in Peace, Elizabeth Windsor, Queen of England. May God in his infinite wisdom and mercy grant you peace, and eternal rest. Requiescet in pace.

@Iraj Pandey Britain was at war, do you not get that? Efforts were made by Churchill's War Cabinet but resources were stretched to their bare minimum. We were barely holding on ourselves at the time.

As an Australian, people around the world have been critical about Britain and its Empire. Though no society is perfect at least the English brought human rights to all its colonies. If we look at the world today, most of England's former colonies are the most stable countries in their region.

What a load of biased bullshit view, you mean to say colonialism and subjugation of nations brought in peace? Your delusion is befitting of a descendant of exiled criminals. Britain has redrawn the map of the world causing conflicts till this day

Bertie Bassett lool im over it because now I can walk, exploit and take advantage of what western countries can offer in education, housing and health, so im cool with it tbh so u cant complain about foreigners taking over or how countries like Britain look today because u brought upon yourself in the first place

One of the giants of history. Army officer, Lord of the Admiralty, scholar, outstanding author/writer, philosopher, painter, politician(despite the fact that he was voted out after the war by a nation craving near-socialism), prime minister, and leader of a nation at a time of existential national danger. Few men in history could boast of this resume'. Based on the outpouring of love and respect seen in this video, one can safely say that the world will not see his like again.
