Neville Chamberlain was succeeded as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom by Winston Churchill on May 10, 1940, following the intense political crisis triggered by the Norway Debate and the escalating crisis of World War II. Churchill formed an all-party coalition government that unified Parliament and galvanized the British population to face the impending threat of Nazi invasion. Despite stepping down from the premiership due to failing health and lost political confidence, Chamberlain initially remained in the war cabinet as Lord President of the Council before passing away later that same year.
