      He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955.
      If there were no Churchill, the fate of the II world war would have taken another course.
Churchill was also known as
1.    A noted statesman 
2.    An orator,
3.    an officer in the British Army,
4.    a historical writer, and
5.    an artist.
On the first day of taking over as the PM of England, what he said was historic.
“I want to wage war against the monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark lamentable human catalogue of crime.
I want victory. Victory at all cost.
For without victory there is no survival.”
