Winston Churchill

Asquith agreed under parliamentary pressure to form an all-party coalition government

May, 1915
London, England, United Kingdom

In May, Asquith agreed under parliamentary pressure to form an all-party coalition government, but the Conservatives' one condition of entry was that Churchill must be removed from the Admiralty. Churchill pleaded his case with both Asquith and Conservative leader Bonar Law, but had to accept a demotion and became Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
