As prime minister, Winston Churchill boldly led Britain to victory in World War II. But 25 years before that, he championed a World War I military attack that ended in disaster—Gallipoli.
As 1914 staggered to its bloody conclusion, the “Great War” dissolved into a horrific grind along the 500 battle-scarred miles of the Western Front. Britain and France had suffered nearly a million casualties in the war’s first four months alone, and the deadly stalemate in the trenches increasingly frustrated Britain’s 40-year-old First Lord of the Admiralty who asked the prime minister, “Are there not other alternatives than sending our armies to chew barbed wire in Flanders?” That rising star of British politics, Winston Churchill, believed he had the solution for breaking the impasse—a second front.
Churchill simply stated that there was no other alternative that they had than send the army.
Winston Churchill was the prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945.
