Sir Winston Churchill

January 24th, 1965, Sir Winston Churchill died. He was the UK's Prime Minister during World War II and collaborated with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt about the Allied strategy.

While he was not the Prime Minister in the 1930s, he warned about the dangers of Nazi Germany. When Neville Chamberlain retired in May 1940, Churchill replaced him. Chamberlain represented the policy of appeasement while Churchill represented the policy of unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.

In 1963, US President John F. Kennedy named Churchill an honorary US citizen. He was the first to be named. It has been 140 years since Churchill was born.
