Born to an aristocratic family in 1874,
Winston Churchill served in the British
military and worked as a writer before going
into politics. After becoming prime minister in
1940, he helped lead a successful Allied
strategy with the U.S. and Soviet Union
during WWII to defeat the Axis powers and
craft post-war peace. Elected prime minister
again in 1951, he introduced key domestic
reforms. Churchill died at age 90 in 1965.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was known to
his many followers as Mahatma, or “the great-
souled one.” He began his activism as an Indian
immigrant in South Africa in the early 1900s, and
in the years following World War I became the
leading figure in India’s struggle to gain
independence from Great Britain. Gandhi was
imprisoned several times during his pursuit of
non-cooperation, and undertook a number of
hunger strikes to protest the oppression of
India’s poorest classes, among other injustices.
After Partition in 1947, he continued to work
toward peace between Hindus and Muslims.
Gandhi was shot to death in Delhi in January
1948 by a Hindu fundamentalist.
Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 to April 30, 1945)
was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to
1945, serving as dictator and leader of
the Nazi Party, or National Socialist German
Workers Party, for the bulk of his time in
power. Hitler’s policies precipitated World
War II and led to the genocide known as
the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths
of some six million Jews and another five
million noncombatants. With defeat on the
horizon, Hitler committed suicide with
wife Eva Braun on April 30, 1945, in his
Berlin bunker.
