Always controversial, Churchill championed the disastrous Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaign in 1915, whose failure forced him to resign from the government and join the army in France. He returned in 1917 as Minister of Munitions, then became Secretary for War and Air and Colonial Secretary. In the latter post he drew the boundaries of the modern Middle East and helped enacting the treaty which made Eire nominally independent. |
