One of the interesting political trends after World War 2 was wartime leaders who got kicked out by voters. In Britain, Churchill was replaced by Clement Attlee and in France, voters dashed De Gaulle's hope to lead a new postwar France with a strong President. America was an exception, reelecting Harry Truman and then giving 8 years to General Eisenhower. Why did voters remove the men who led their nations to victory?
