Winston Churchill - Churchill had won the doubters over and his successor as party leader was a formality
Time: Thursday May 9, 1940
Place: London, England, United Kingdom
Details: In May, Churchill was still generally unpopular with many Conservatives and probably most of the Labour Party. Chamberlain remained Conservative Party leader until October when ill health forced his resignation. By that time, Churchill had won the doubters over and his successor as party leader was a formality.
