And most important of all, he led the country to victory in World War II. He also wrote

many important books and was a talented painter. In May 1940, he became Prime Minister. Throughout the war, Churchill showed great strength and energy. He worked for long periods with little sleep and travelled many thousands of miles. By courage and determination expressed in his speeches, he inspired the people of Britain to keep on fighting.
