David-Churchill

** Winston S. C   hurchill ** Sir Winston Curchill was born November 30, 1874. He spent his childhood in his birthtown of Oxfordshire and in his schools, Harrow and Sandhurst. The latter was a military academy. He was a Second Lietenant in the British cavalry and reentered the army as a major much later in life. But his memorable place was in politics. He held various positions and ended up Prime Minister in 1940. He served two terms and resigned in 1955. Churchill died January 24, 1965 in London at the age of 91. Over his life, Winston Churchill experienced much more than an ordinary politician or soldier. He witnessed rebellion in Cuba, he fought alongside his fellow Englishman, he saw and dealt with conflicts in government, and he led his country out of World War II. Said to be one of the Great Three, (along with Roosevelt and Stalin), Churchill was a great man and is one of Great Britain's most esteemed Prime Ministers. To today's society, he leaves his wisdom in sayings and influences people of all types.

I researched Winston Churchill because, even though I didn't know too much about him, I recognized him as an important historical figure. I greatly recommend him for future researchers; Winston Churchill's life has good examples of leadership, integrity, wit, wisdom, influence, devotion, and fighting against opposition.

"We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be... we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field, we shall fight in the hills... we shall never surrender!" -Winston Churchill
