In 1923 he was once again back inside the Conservative party and filled the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wasn’t happy as chancellor and soon took some of the blame for Britain’s economic problems in 1929. Churchill was to retake his former post in the war cabinet, 1st Lord of Admiralty in 1939. Then as Neville Chamberlain fell in April 1940, Churchill did much the opposite and stood, as Prime Minister. He bought the ‘no surrender’ attitude into the war, upon his [more...]
