• Churchill spent most of his younger years with his nanny, Elizabeth Everest. It was Mrs. Everest that nurtured Churchill and cared for him during his many childhood illnesses.
At age of eight, Churchill was sent to boarding school. He was never an excellent student but he was well liked and known as a bit of a troublemaker.
Churchill attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before embarking on an army career. He saw action on the North West Frontier of India and in the Sudan.
In 1900, Churchill became Conservative member of parliament for Oldham. But he became disaffected with his party and in 1904 joined the Liberal Party.
When war broke out in 1939, Churchill became first lord of the Admiralty. In May 1940 he took the place of prime minister. He worked tirelessly throughout the war, building strong relations with US President Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, US President

Churchill lost power in the 1945 post-war election but remained leader of the opposition, voicing apprehensions about the Cold War (he popularised the term 'Iron Curtain').
As well as his many political achievements, he left a legacy of an impressive number of publications and in 1953 won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
On January 15, 1965, Churchill suffered a severe stroke that left him gravely ill. He died at his London home nine days later, at age 90, on January 24, 1965. Britain mourned for more than a week.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. Winston Churchill
