After World War II, the most urgent wish of the British people is to have a harmonious and stable environment and live a carefree life. However, in the election campaign of 1945, Germany had already surrendered, but Churchill still said: "There is a huge and terrible war waiting for us ahead! Campaign slogan. This is tantamount to telling the British people that if he is elected as the first choice, he will continue to eliminate fascism.
You know, the British people are willing to starve for Germany, which is close at hand, but they are unwilling to pay anything for Japan, which is far away. Churchill's opponent Attlee's campaign slogan is "Let's join hands in the future!" For the hungry British at that time, it was obvious who to choose. No matter how great the contribution, it is also inseparable from food.
If in wartime, a country needs a leader with amazing courage and leadership, iron will and decisive action to lead the people to defend the country and resist aggression, then Churchill deserves it. But Britain, which is close to peacetime, needs a modest gentleman to unite with all walks of life to revitalize the economy, heal the wounds of war, and a learned man to revitalize the national industry. And Attlee is such a person.
Churchill was good at military affairs, and Attlee was good at civil affairs. The British people rationally realized that Churchill was an amateur in leading economic construction. He knows nothing about finance, and a pragmatic person will not leave his fate to a person who does not understand economic construction. Attlee's goal of establishing a welfare state has great appeal to the poor British people after the war.
