Winston Churchill stuttered as a child. His father, who had wanted his son to become a lawyer, thought Churchill was retarded because he did poorly in school, most of the time finish near the bottom of the class. Churchill failed sixth grade, took three full terms to get to the next grade in mathematics, and was rejected by both Oxford and Cambridge. Churchill’s father advised him to pursue a career in the military. The following advised his father, he then applied to join the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, the British equivalent of West Point in the United States, but he failed the entrance examination, twice! After intense instruction and much stuffing, Churchill squeaked a third time round.
After graduation, Churchill in the British Army, a career that seemed to suit him. By 1911 he had become First Lord Admiralty, pretty amazing is not it? He filled the position for four years. In 1915, during World War I, Churchill helped engineer unsuccessful battle, named Gallipoli Disaster. Although some argued that the blame for the failure lay with tactical commanders, Churchill took the blame and responsibility, hence got demotion. Not too long after, he remarked that the issuer News of the World, “I finished. It’s over for me.”
The comments proved to be far from the truth. Churchill held a variety of positions in 1920, he showed the real value of his head. When World War II broke out, Churchill was appointed First Lord of re Admiralty and became a member of the War Cabinet. Early in the war, Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister, resigned. Winston was the overwhelming choice to replace Neville. He took the position and helped lead England to victory. Despite the success of Churchill, he was heavily defeated in his bid for prime minister in 1945. Many historians believe that his success as a wartime leader led people to believe he could not perform as well in times of peace.
Nevertheless, six years later, Winston again became prime minister, a position he held until he resigned in 1955. When not serving the government Winston spent time writing his books in English and world history, he won the 1953 Nobel Prize in literature.
From failure and rejection of the Prime Minister of Britain. Winston Churchill is considered one of the most successful leaders in the history of war (World War II).
