Who was the prime minister of united kingdom during ww2?

Answer 1

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the start of 1945. He was replaced by Clement Richard Attlee on July 26.

Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1940 May 10 to 1945 July 26 and again from 1951 October 26 to 1955 April 7 as leader of the Conservatives. Churchill was most famously known as the leader who led the United Kingdom to victory in World War 2. A military office in the army, Churchill also won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honourary citizen of the United States.

Due to the war, Churchill and the Conservatives had formed a coalition government with Clement Attlee and the Labour Party. Churchill's primary focus was the war, while the Deputy Prime Minister Attlee focused on domestic issues.

In 1945 May, Germany surrendered, ending the majority of European fighting in World War 2. Pressure forced an election before fighting ended in Asia. Labour was heavily victorious in the election, with 'full employment' being the major issue of the post-war climate.

Clement Attlee was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1945 July 26 to 1951 October 26. He was also the first ever Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1942 February 19 to 1945 May 23, as part of a coalition government during World War Two.

Attlee implemented heavy social reforms, including creation of a national health service, national assistance act, and national insurance act. Labour also nationalized the Bank of England, aviation, coal mining, railways, cable, wireless, steel, electric and gas industries. The government heavily invested in basic infrastructure, improving education and transportation.

This spending caused budget problems with the government, but they were assisted by loans from the US government. Although the pound was at first convertible directly to dollars, this practice was ended, and the pound had to be devalued.

Foreign policy in the post war era was marked by rising Soviet influence; Britain hoped to counter this by way of NATO and other European co-operation, as well as development of its own nuclear program. Decolonization was started under the Labour government, with India, Ceylon and Burma being the first countries to gain independence.

By the 1950 elections, public support for Labour had declined, and Labour's majority shrunk significantly. By 1951, with Labour finding themselves unable to govern, another election was called and the Conservatives led by Churchill regained power.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland contains England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which do not have separate prime ministers.

A military office in the army, Churchill also won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honourary citizen of the United States.

His attempts to better relations with both the US and the rising USSR were mostly unsuccessful. Domestically, his government took a focus to housing.
