He is best known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II, as well as his oratory skills and numerous literary works. Churchill was born into an aristocratic family and educated at prestigious schools, including Harrow and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. He served in the British Army and worked as a war correspondent before entering politics in 1900 as a member of parliament for the Conservative Party. Churchill served as First Lord of the Admiralty and was responsible for the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. He later served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1920s and as Prime Minister. Churchill's leadership during World War II, including his inspiring speeches and steadfast determination, helped lead the Allies to victory over Nazi Germany.
