| Description | World War II cartoon shows John Bull handing British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, seated at a desk, a document reading, "Complete Control." A sign on the door reads, "No. 10 Downing St., Winston Churchill." John Bull warns, "We are just lending this to you, Winnie. You can return it later." With the German invasions of Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France in the spring of 1940, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was forced to resign. His successor was Winston Churchill, who also took for himself the new position of Minister of Defence. At the same time, the government took on new powers for the duration of the war. The cartoon probably reflects the fact that many of the people who turned to Churchill in the crisis remained suspicious of his impetuous character. |
