Winston Churchill family

Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was born on the 30th of November 1874 in Blamingham Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, into an aristocratic family. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a prominent politician, while his mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, was the daughter of an American millionaire. He was a rebellious young boy who detested formal education. In April 1888, he was sent to Harrow School, a boarding school near London. Winston Churchill first became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during a period of political chaos when World War II was going on. With his years of military and political experience, he helped inspire British resistance in the nation's struggle and led an active opposition against the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. As the Prime Minister, he is credited to have led Britain to victory over the seemingly undefeatable Nazi Germany. A prominent writer, he wrote The Second World War, a history of the period from the end of the First World War to July 1945. He worked with a team of assistants on this seminal work, which played a major role in earning him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. The book was a major commercial success in both Britain and the US. He married Clementine Hosier in 1908. Their marriage was a happy one, marked by mutual love and respect. Five children were born to them, of which one died as a child.
