Realizing Hitler's threat to control Europe, Churchill advocated for British rearmament;By 1938, as Germany began controlling its neighbors, Churchill had become a staunch critic of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement toward the Nazis.In April,1940, Germany invaded and occupied Norway, which was a setback for Neville Chamberlain, who had resisted Churchill's proposal that Britain pre-empt German aggression by unilaterally occupying vital Norwegian iron mines and sea ports.In May, debate in Parliament on the Norwegian crisis led to a vote of no confidence toward Prime Minister Chamberlain.On May 10, King George VI appointed Churchill as prime minister and Minister of Defense.

Within hours, the German Army began its Western Offensive, invading the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Two days later, German forces entered France. Britain stood alone against the onslaught. Facing all this, Churchillformed a coalition cabinet of leaders from the Labor, Liberal and Conservative parties;made one of his iconic to the House of Commons, warning that "the Battle of Britain" was about to begin;Being a hard-nosed military strategist, he built the RAF fighter command to take on the German air force;kept resistance to Nazi dominance alive;Having cultivated relationship with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s, he was able to secure vital U.S. aid; being a vehement anti-communist, he helped the Soviet Union when it was invaded by Hitler; Forged an alliance with the United States and the Soviet Union
