Born on November 30th, 1874 in Oxfordshire, England. Prime Minister of Britain from 1940 to 1945 and 1951 to 1955. Attended the Royal Military College and joined the British cavalry when he graduated. While he was in South Africa during the Second Boer War he was captured and became a prisoner of war. He somehow escaped prison and traveled 300 miles to be rescued. he returned to Britain and became something of a hero in Britain for a while. In 1900 he was elected to Parliment and held many positions for 30 years his career had many ups and downs during this time and was most famous for his writings during the time. When World War 2 started Churchill became the First Lord of Admiralty in command of the Royal Navy. Winston Churchill stated that the strategy was in bombing raids to take out German resources and military bases that hold planes and other things like tanks, weapons, and ammo. He also tried to make as many allies as possible during WW2 and make inspiring speeches to encourage soldiers to join the British military. After the war Churchill's party lost the election and was no longer prime minister but he still held a big position in Parliament. He was then elected prime minister again in 1951 and after the 4 years he retired. He feared the Soviet Union, he thought that it could be a Germany 2.0. He was completely right, the cold war started and it was between the Soviets and NATO including USA, Britain, France etc. he still stayed in parliament and kept writing

military stuff: Julius was interested in politics from an early age, thought this led to imprisonment, from which he escaped to join the army at the age of 19, where he soon won praise for his courage.His army success led to higher postings and he found his way back into politics where he bribed and wheedled his way up the hierarchy. He borrowed money for his bribes and hence was often in debt. Nevertheless, this gained him steadily more power and Plutarch said of him: 'He gained so much upon the people, that everyone was eager to find out new offices and new honors for him in return for his munificence.'One clever trick was that he got to be chief priest, which made him sacrosanct and free from persecution.He studied rhetoric to develop his skill in oratory, and Cicero later said of him: 'Do you know any man who, even if he has concentrated on the art of oratory to the exclusion of everything else, can speak better than Caesar?'He supported popular themes to build wider support. And at 43 he got elected Consul, where he did a lot support public needs. Then became Governor of a northern province and hence commander of its military forces.
