His funeral lasted four day's. "By decree of Queen Elizabeth II, his body lay in state at Westminster Hall for three days from 26 January.  From there the body was transported by water along the River Thames to Waterloo station, accompanied by military salutations."

They were called the "The Big Three" British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The only thing worse than having allies is not having them.” It first started when "Churchill and US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had been working together for some time when the United States entered the war in 1941. Roosevelt believed a British victory over the Axis was in America’s best interests, while Churchill believed such a victory was not possible without American assistance." Then later Joseph Stalin joined that allies. He was very suspicious of both Roosevelt and Churchill. Below is a Picture of Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill, at the Yalta conference. ]]> 2021-03-11 15:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/24connerer/fljx7idz5sr7dufv/wish/1298677709 24connerer https://padlet.com/24connerer/fljx7idz5sr7dufv/wish/1302921267 "Historians widely attribute Churchill with being “the greatest statesman of the 20th century.” Churchill was an effective leader and statesman because of his tremendous ability to inspire people; his unique strategic insight; his relentless passion; and his imperturbable personality." This is one of many famous quotes that Winston Churchill said during the time of WW2.

I choose this topic because I had just found out him and thought that he could be a good person to research about. What did I think about before learning about this topic? I honestly had no idea who he was and what he did. What did I learn? I learned that winston was 90 years old when he died.(and I learned a lot more). How did your learning change after? Now I know who he was and what he did for others. What did you enjoy about this topic? I enjoyed learning about his life, but I also really enjoyed learning about the allies or the "The Big Three". ]]> 2021-03-12 17:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/24connerer/fljx7idz5sr7dufv/wish/1303421428 24connerer https://padlet.com/24connerer/fljx7idz5sr7dufv/wish/1303422845 “World War II: Winston Churchill’s Vision of Victory.” HistoryNet, 13 Feb. 2019, www.historynet.com/world-war-ii-winston-churchills-vision-of-victory.htm#:%7E:text=Churchill%20expected%20the%20unconditional%20surrender,peace%20would%20not%20be%20punitive.
