Neville Chamberlain was forced to step down as Prime Minister in May 1940 following a severe political crisis triggered by the disastrous Allied military defeat during the Norwegian Campaign of World War II. The House of Commons held a furious parliamentary debate known as the Norway Debate, where even members of Chamberlain's own Conservative Party expressed profound dissatisfaction with his wartime administration, leading to a massive revolt in a crucial confidence vote. Although he technically survived the vote, his political authority was fatally undermined, compelling him to resign and allow Winston Churchill to form a unified all-party coalition government.
