context_section_description: Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was the prime minister of the United Kingdom and was in office from 1940 to 1945 and 1951 to 1955. Churchill was known for his leadership role during World War II.  However, there were many controversial incidents, which resulted in Churchill's reputation as a strategist to waver between being known as a savior and a scapegoat. The battle of Gallipoli, which started on April 25, 1915 was one of the major setbacks in Churchill's military career, having pressed on the battle of Gallipoli resulted in the casualty of over 200,000 allied soldiers.
