On this day: 10^th May…1940.

Winston Churchill becomes the British Prime Minister, succeeding Neville Chamberlain. Following Chamberlain’s resignation, King George VI personally asked Churchill to become Prime Minister. Churchill would go on to assume a commanding position in the military defence against Nazi Germany and her allies. He left office in July 1945 following the end of the war, though he later had a second stint as PM in 1951-1955.

“We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…” – Winston Churchill, 4 June 1940.
