Even when Churchill was touring France’s Maginot Line in 1939, he still managed to paint with his friends near Dreux.
Churchill was responsible for a large part in the development of the tank, as well, and in 1915, he created the Landships Committee, which designed and produced the first British tanks.
He served as the First Lord of the Admiralty, and in this position, he encouraged modernity in the British Navy, pushing new warships to use oil instead of coal engines, as well as promoting military aircraft and setting up the Royal Navy Air
Churchill returned the gold standard to Great Britain, which led to deflation, unemployment, and the miner’s strike.
Later, Churchill noted that reinstating the gold standard was the worst mistake he ever made, as it created negative economic and social effects, the largest downside of which fell upon the coal industry that was already suffering because of the general switch to oil as fuel.
Before the period known as the “Battle of Britain,” Churchill said, “… we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

As a British politician who was well known for serving twice as prime minister for the United Kingdom and as an infamous war organizer, leader Winston S. Churchill filled his long life with achievements and recognition plotted throughout every modern history book. Most famously, he led Great Britain into victory over Nazi Germany during World War II in his first run as prime minister and played an essential role in negotiating peace once the war reached an unsteady end. Commonly, his name is associated as one of the “Big Three” alongside United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin. In unity, the three men helped lead the world to a resolution from the violence and terror that reigned in World War II.
Winston S. Churchill was more than a military and government leader, though. He lived an entire life full of accomplishments that defined him as a singular person, rather than a government and military leader. In 1953, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his “mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values.” Although he maintained a somewhat monotone voice over the radio, Churchill excelled in speaking to live crowds as he imparted encouraging words and recounted tales of his life adventures. On top of these accomplishments as a writer and a trailblazer, Churchill is famous for his endless reserves of energy and his need for little sleep, which allowed him to pursue many projects and hobbies outside of his governmental duties. Among many other possible descriptions, Winton Churchill categorizes as a father, a husband, a painter, a war hero, a politician, a soldier, a smoker, a gambler, and a philosopher.
