Winston Churchill. (№ 434708)

Quote Explanation: At the end of May 1940, just a few days after his appointment as head of government, Winston Churchill invited several leading British politicians here. Among them were former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who resigned after Hitler flagrantly violated the terms of the "Munich Pact", and the influential Foreign Minister Lord Halifax, as well as leaders of Labor and Liberals. Churchill wanted to hear from them whether Britain should get involved in a serious armed conflict with Germany or go to humiliating peace negotiations.
