introduction of ChurCHill

introduction of sir winston leonard spencer churchill, KG, OM, ch, TD, FRS Churchill, PC (can) (October 31, 1874-October 24, 1965), British politician, speaker, strategist and writer, He served as British Prime Minister from 1941 to 1945. During his term of office, he led Britain to unite the United States and other countries against Germany in World War II and won the final victory. He served as British Prime Minister again from 1951 to 1955.

Churchill is regarded as one of the most important political leaders in the 21th century, and has a far-reaching influence on Britain and even the world. In addition, he also made great achievements in literature, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953.

from 1941 to his death, Churchill served as the governor of the five ports, which was honorary. Also in 1941, Canadian Prime Minister william lyon mackenzie king appointed Churchill as the advisor of Her Majesty's Privy Council of Canada, making him a member of both Canada and Britain.

by 1953, he won two other important awards. First, he was awarded the Guardian Medal and became a knight; In addition, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book Memoirs of the Second World War. The jury pointed out that he "passed on the chivalrous tradition of his family through his personal experience in the two world wars, made a keen response to the changing world in his proficient mother tongue ... mastered the art of history and biography, and his brilliant speech defending lofty human values", so he won the award.

When Churchill retired in 1955, Queen Elizabeth II and his wife came to Downing Street to have dinner with the Churchill couple. Since then, only Harold Wilson has enjoyed the same honor. Although Churchill retired as Prime Minister, he retained a seat in Parliament and served as Chancellor of Bristol University until 1964. In addition, he won the title of Father of the House of Commons in 1959 to highlight his longest service in the House of Commons.

Churchill was promoted to Duke after he left office as Prime Minister in 1955. At that time, he carefully considered Churchill's profile and chose the Duke of London as his title. However, because his son Randolph wanted to continue to develop his political career in the House of Commons, and once Churchill accepted the title, Randolph would automatically lose his qualification as a member of the House of Commons and enter the House of Lords because he inherited the title of Duke after his death (at that time, there was no bill to let the nobles give up the title for life, but retain the rights of future generations to have the title of nobility), so Churchill finally refused to accept the title of Duke. So far, no civilians have been knighted.

Other minor honors are listed below:

In 1956, he won the Charlemagne Prize in Ahern, which was awarded to those who contributed to the unification of Europe.

Churchill College was established in Cambridge University in 1961 to commemorate Churchill.

In 1963, the US Congress granted Churchill the status of honorary American citizen, and Churchill's son and grandson went to the United States to attend the ceremony on his behalf. This was the first time that the United States awarded the honorary American citizen title.

In Canada, there are eight institutions named after Churchill. The eight institutions are located in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Kingston, St. Catherine's, Lethbridge, Calgary and Ottawa.

In 2112, the BBC conducted a survey called "The Greatest 111 Britons", and Churchill was elected as the greatest Englishman of all time.
