Known as one of the toughest Prime Ministers
of all time, a British Bulldog and The Greatest
Briton, stay tuned for interesting facts from
the biography of Winston Churchill for students.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was
born on November 30, 1874, and died January
24, 1965.
In his lifetime he was a British statesman,
army officer, and writer, who served as Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to
1945 and again from 1951 to 1955.
Starting out with fact number one Winston
Churchill was in prison during the Second
Boer War.
An interesting thing about this time in his
life was although he was captured he managed
to escape prison and traveled 300 miles to
freedom.
With fact number two, Churchill warned everyone
in his country about a very bad man.
That is where when in command of the Royal
Navy, Churchill warned the Prime Minister
at that time who wanted to work with Adolf
Hitler, it was not a good idea and they needed
to fight instead of working with Hitler.
This is where after becoming Prime Minister
in 1940, he would help lead a successful Allied
plan with the U.S. and Soviet Union during
World War II to defeat the Axis powers and
set up a plan for peace after the war.
With fact number four, Churchill was not the
best student.
As a young boy like many kids, Churchill did
not do well in school.
His family worried he would not be successful
after attending different schools and not
doing well.
Later on, he would begin to do better and
ended up going to school at that helped him
lead to his military career.
Moving on to our final fact, with fact number
