Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister by King George VI on 10 May 1940 at 6.30 pm. That morning, Adolf Hiter had ordered the invasion of France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands ending the phoney war, the first eight months of which saw no offensive against France. This appointment was the consequence of the disavowal of the outgoing Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, by Labour and the Liberals following his hesitations. Churchill supported a more dynamic strategy of preventive interventions even in neutral European countries.
At the beginning of his mandate the military situation was catastrophic. The Franco-British forces suffered the fiasco of the Battle of Dunkirk. They had to mobilize the entire British navy with 370 little ships, sailboats and fishing boats, to evacuate 338,226 soldiers from France between on 27 May and on 4 June 1940. Belgium stopped fighting on 28 May, Norway on 10 June and France on 22 June 1940. Within a month and a half, Winston Churchill found himself alone, the last sitting European leader to defend freedom. Under no illusions, he told the House of Commons on 13 May 1940: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. He won the Battle of Britain, which ran from July 1940 to May 1941 in the south of England in less than a year. Londoners were hit hard by the bombing. The British air force, with 1,963 aircraft, was victorious over the Third Reich’s 4,074 aircraft.
