Suppose that Winston Churchill had been Prime Minister of the UK in World War II. What effect would he have had on the war, and on the world we live in today?
What's the POD for this?
As for differences: during the war, not much; he was a good orator, but it's hard to orate people up from fighting on to the end. The Soviets and the Allies eventually grind the Third Reich to powder, as OTL.
Did i study a different WW2 then you? I seem to remember England being far from 'fighting to the end'...![]()
it's no surprise he finally committed suicide in 1938 considering his history of depression and the fact that his political career had been nothing but an unmitigated string of disasters.
Yes, most historians say that it was the utter destruction of his political career that drove him to suicide, though a history of depression and the fact he had started drinking heavily didn't help.I thought it was the decision of the Conservative party to de-select him as MP for Epping that was the motivation for his suicide.
