Winston Churchill - Churchill resigned as Prime Minister
Time: Wednesday May 23, 1945
Place: England, United Kingdom
Details: With a general election looming (there had been none for almost a decade), and with the Labour Ministers refusing to continue the wartime coalition, Churchill resigned as Prime Minister on 23 May 1945. Later that day, he accepted the King's invitation to form a new government, known officially as the National Government, like the Conservative-dominated coalition of the 1930s, but sometimes called the caretaker ministry.
