Full textAbstract:
Psychobiography is a qualitative approach to exploring and understanding the life story of an individual through the lens of psychological theory. The application of theory is typically conducted on the finished lives of well-known or enigmatic people. This study explores and describes the psychological development across the lifespan of Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, by applying the Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler. Winston Churchill voted the greatest Briton of the twentieth century, was an author, painter, adventure, soldier, politician and Prime Minister that led the United Kingdom during World War Two. Extensive data has been examined in this work to ensure an accurate description of Winston Churchill‘s life. Alexander‘s model of identifying salient themes was used to analyse the data within a conceptual framework derived from the theory. Churchill‘s difficult childhood motivated him to succeed, his passion for the nation of Britain and his dislike of the Nazi regime meant that Churchill was always abreast with current affairs, anticipating every possible scenario of attack. When the time came to fight the Nazi‘s Churchill was ready to die for his country. The research findings highlight Churchill‘s ability to rise above his childhood stigmas and surpass all expectations and so cementing his name into the history of a country he loved and a democratic world he hoped for. Alfred Adler‘s Individual Psychology proposes that an individual‘s potential weaknesses can be used as a means to strive and achieve greatness within their sphere of influence.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines Winston Churchill's relationship with the Islamic world from 1895 to 1956. It reveals the extent to which Churchill's military and political life became intrinsically connected to the Islamic world, from his tours on the North West frontier in India and Sudan to his position as Colonial Secretary in the early 1920s, and then again during the Second World War and after. By examining Churchill's entire career, this dissertation places Churchill in the context of colonial discourse and reveals the extent to which orientalism influenced his opinions and policies in the Islamic regions of the British Empire. It demonstrates that in the Victorian era, Churchill's thinking was relatively progressive in his imperial understanding of the Islamic world. By the post-World War Two era, however, these paternalistic views seemed almost reactionary. The dissertation indicates that for much of his career Churchill was not, as conventionally deemed, indifferent to matters in Islamic regions and even contemptuous of Islam. In so doing, it critiques the large body of work surrounding Churchill's relationship with the Empire, but more importantly, it addresses historiographical voids regarding Churchill's attitude towards the Islamic Middle East and the Islamic World in general. By addressing these voids, this dissertation complements the existing literature surrounding Churchill and the Middle East.

Full textAbstract:
Winston S. Churchill was a war leader during two world wars, and yet there are few substantive studies of his younger years when he was a practising soldier. This thesis aims to study the early intellectual development of Churchill in those areas which have direct impact on the art of war. The chapters are arranged narratively (Chapters 2-3) and thematically (Chapters 4-8). The introduction covers the scope and methodology of the work. Chapters 2-3 give an account of Churchill's early years, and trace the development of several prominent features of his character that helped form and inform the presuppositions of his later military intellectual development. Chapter 4 addresses Churchill's interactions with late Victorian cavalry doctrine and debate. Chapters 5-7 each address themes of an expanding scope of influence and conceptualization: first, the tactics of war; second, the policy and strategy of war; and finally, Churchill's conceptions of war. The conclusion summarizes the hallmarks and syntheses of Churchill's early military intellectual development, and identifies judgments which can be drawn about his perspicacity as soldier and commander.

Full textAbstract:
Étude comparative des discours de guerre de David Lloyd George et Winston ChurchillObjets de communication, voire de propagande, les discours de guerre ont pris une place prépondérante au cours du 20ème siècle grâce aux valeurs idéologiques qu’ils véhiculent et à leur portée, à l’heure de la communication de masse. Art millénaire, la prise de parole en public obéit à des codes, la rhétorique, afin de transmettre au mieux un message qui, en temps de guerre, peut s’avérer décisif.Le siècle dernier a été le théâtre de deux conflits mondiaux qui ont vu les puissances démocratiques s’opposer à des régimes autoritaires. Si les démocraties ont triomphé au final, le système politique de ces pays a toutefois dû évoluer, temporairement, avec l’émergence de leaders charismatiques. Cette thèse vise à étudier les discours de guerre de deux de ces leaders, David Lloyd George et Winston Churchill, Premiers ministres du seul pays qui, tout au long des deux guerres mondiales, est resté ferme face à la menace totalitaire. Ils ont tous deux apporté une vision nouvelle où ils ont tenté de dépasser l’approche politique traditionnelle britannique en centralisant le pouvoir et en essayant d’incarner leur pays.Deux guerres mondiales ont produit deux Premiers ministres britanniques aux pouvoirs accrus, à la personnalité très forte et au talent oratoire inégalé. Cependant, le destin politique et la mémoire collective des deux hommes, malgré leur victoire, sont diamétralement opposés. Lloyd George est devenu Premier ministre lorsque son parti a remporté les élections de 1918 et s’est maintenu aux rênes du pouvoir jusqu’en 1922. Churchill, lui, a subi une cuisante défaite en 1945 et a dû attendre 1951 pour redevenir Premier ministre, de façon démocratique cette fois-ci. Sur le long terme, la situation s’inverse. Lloyd George est presque sorti de la mémoire collective alors que Churchill reste une figure héroïque en Grande-Bretagne, et dans le monde anglo-saxon en général.Notre étude cherche à comprendre si ces destins en miroir peuvent être expliqués par les discours que les deux hommes ont prononcés durant leur mandat en temps de guerre. La comparaison entre leurs discours nous permettra de mieux comprendre leur leadership respectif ainsi que les mythes politiques qu’ils ont développés. C’est dans ces mythes, totalement différents, que nous trouverons la réponse à nos interrogationsComparative study of David Lloyd George’s and Winston Churchill’s war speechesAs objects of communication, even of propaganda, war speeches acquired a leading role in the 20th century thanks to the ideological values they carry and the impact they have, at the time of mass communication. As an ancient art, public speaking obeys the rules of rhetoric, so as to best convey a message, which, in wartime, might prove decisive.Two worldwide conflicts in which democratic powers faced authoritarian regimes occurred last century. If democracies eventually won, their political systems had to evolve, temporarily, thanks to the emergence of charismatic leaders. This thesis aims to study the war speeches of two of these leaders, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, the Prime Ministers of the only country which, throughout the two wars, stood firm against the totalitarian threat. They both came up with a new vision in which they tried to go beyond the traditional British political approach by centralizing power and embodying their nation.Two world wars produced two British Prime Ministers with augmented powers, strong personalities and unrivalled oratory talent. However, their political destinies and the different ways they are remembered, in spite of their victories, are completely different. Lloyd George became Prime Minister when his party won the 1918 general election and he managed to wield power until 1922. Churchill, on the other hand, suffered a terrible defeat in 1945 and he had to wait until 1951 to be Prime Minister once again, this time democratically. In the long run, the opposite is true. Lloyd George is almost wiped off from collective memory whereas Churchill has remained a heroic figure in Great Britain, and in the Anglo-Saxon world at large.Our study seeks to understand if these mirror destinies can be accounted for by the speeches the two men delivered during their wartime premierships. Comparing their speeches will help us better understand their respective leaderships and the political myth each of them developed. In both myths, which are totally different, we will find the answers to our questions

Lesser, Rebecca. "By the side of "The Roaring Lion" : Yousuf Karsh's portrait of Winston Churchill and British/Canadian wartime relations." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/20469.
Full textAbstract:
Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh’s 1941 portrait of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was published in newspapers, magazines and books throughout the Second World War; commonly referred to as “The Roaring Lion”, it served as a symbol of the strength of the Allied forces. To this day the image is reproduced in monographs, exhibition catalogues and biographies celebrating the lives of Winston Churchill and Yousuf Karsh. In this paper I move beyond the emphasis on the sitter and the photographer in order to argue that this photographic portrait served as the visual rhetoric of British/Canadian wartime relations. My assertion, that in its reception this portrait both reflected and shaped Canada’s wartime role in the British Commonwealth, stems from consideration of an often overlooked detail in the photograph – a speech to the Canadian Parliament in Churchill’s coat pocket.
My study of the Churchill portrait is framed by Roland Barthes’ reflections on the photographic pose and Max Kozloff’s arguments concerning the theatricality of formal portraiture. I begin by tracing how the story of “The Roaring Lion” has evolved since its inception, establishing that previous studies have only touched upon the significance of this portrait from the perspective of a Canadian wartime audience. I suggest that this photograph of Churchill served a purpose in appealing to both political and public desires, fulfilling the need for an image of a strong leader at this particular point in the Allied and specifically Canadian war effort. Further exploration of the broader historical context demonstrates how the nature of Canada’s wartime role may be characterized as a struggle to exercise newfound sovereignty while remaining loyally at the side of the British.
Finally, I examine why Karsh’s traditional style of formal portraiture appealed to the Canadian government as a form of unobtrusive war propaganda. I compare several of Karsh’s portrait studies of Canadian Prime Minister W.L. Mackenzie King to that of the Churchill portrait, in order to further support my assertion that this image of the British leader contributed to the rhetoric surrounding Canada’s wartime role – by the side of “The Roaring Lion”.

Full textAbstract:
Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt inspired the Allies with memorable speeches in their fight against the Axis Powers during World War II.
These speeches resulted from their personalities, preparation, and correspondence; and the speeches directed Allied conduct and challenged Axis aggression. The speeches examined here pertain to Lend-Lease in November, 1940-March, 1941.
The author consulted the collections of Churchill's and Roosevelt's speeches and correspondence and drew from memoirs and newspapers. The first two chapters examine Churchill and Roosevelt's rhetorical abilities; the third chapter looks at how their correspondence shaped their speeches; and the fourth chapter looks at the Lend-Lease rhetoric.
Roosevelt and Churchill's speeches contributed to the success of the Lend-Lease bill and strengthened the Anglo-American alliance. Their words and actions led to the emergence of America as the leader in the alliance and affected Hitler's perception of the Anglo-American relationship and policy.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Churchill's struggle during the summer of 1940 to preserve Britain's naval superiority worldwide, through the neutralization of the French fleet and by securing the active participation of the United States. Sources consulted included autobiographies of the participants, especially those by Churchill, Reynaud, Baudouin, and Weygand, document collections, and British and American official histories. This study is organized to give a chronological analysis of Churchill's efforts from 10 May to 2 September 1940, ending with the United States' acceptance of the destroyers-for-bases agreement. This act committed them to shared strategical responsibilities with Great Britain. The thesis concludes that Churchill's efforts in this period laid the foundation for later Allied victory.

Full textAbstract:
Daladier et Reynaud se déchirent aux dépens de la lutte contre l' Allemagne, alors que Churchill entend éradiquer le nazisme à la faveur de la guerre. Au pouvoir par hasard le 10 mai, l' Anglais sent le sol français se dérober sous ses pieds tout au long de l' offensive allemande. Il prive Reynaud d'armistice et lutte contre ses pacifistes, tel Halifax. De Gaulle n'est qu'un pion dans son jeu et la constance de son soutien s'en ressent (privations de micro et réécriture des appels). Par l'attaque de Mers el-Kébir, faite entre autres pour plaire à Roosevelt, il jette la France pétainiste dans les bras de l'Allemagne - et alors Hitler seul empêche un retournement des alliances. Ni la Révolution nationale (10 octobre), ni le statut des Juifs (18 et non 3 octobre) ne font de Montoire l' idylle espérée. . . Et désormais Pétain, au contraire de Laval, ne fera plus d'avances aussi nettes: le chemin de petits accommodements avec l'Angleterre s'ouvre à nouveau mais le vin de la collaboration est tiré, et sera bu.

Faza, Andres L. "British Cultural Narrative in Winston Churchill's Political Communication." Scholar Commons, 2014. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5421.
Full textAbstract:
This study uses Winston Churchill's "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech, delivered to the House of Commons following the evacuation of Dunkirk, France in June 1940, as a source text by which to examine Churchill's use of British cultural narratives in political communication. Narrative and heuristic theories are proposed as means by which listeners process such messages. A number of rhetorical devices are defined, in order to inform a discussion of the narratives identified, particularly the means by which those narratives were rhetorically embedded in the text. After a careful examination of the source text, the narratives of knighthood and chivalric values, as well as King Arthur and the Arthurian legend, specifically as presented in Tennyson's Idylls of the King, were identified as primary cultural narratives from which Churchill draws much meaning. A thorough critical history of each of these narratives is undertaken, revealing sentiments of oath-bound civic duty tracing back to Britain's historical founding as a culture and a nation, following the fall of Rome in the fifth century, and persisting up until Churchill's use of those sentiments in his historic 1940 speech.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. The aim of this paper is to provide a thorough analysis of Winston Churchill’s speech, We shall fight on the beaches, which he gave to the British House of Commons on June 4th, 1940, during the turmoil of the Second World War, as he was being pressured to surrender his nation to the enemy Germany’s demands. Britain at that time was surrounded by an aura of imminent defeat. This paper shall consider the elements which made the speech so effective, influential and memorable that Churchill was able to channel his steadfastness to the British people, inspire his country to combat the Nazi threat and shift the course of the war in the Allies’ favour. The analysis is conducted on the original version of the speech provided by the Chartwell Trust to the International Churchill Society’s website, and shall be carried out through the close examination of various rhetorical devices discussed by Farnsworth in Farnsworth’s Classical English Rhetoric and Aristotle’s three rhetorical appeals described by Baker in Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion.

There is a brief introduction explaining the themes in the literature available to date and how this thesis aims to add to available material.
In chapter one I give an account of early British research into nuclear science, including collaboration between British universities and the effect the MAUD Report had on accelerating the United States atomic programme. I introduce the main British scientists here .
In chapter two I focus on diplomacy between Britain and the United States in the period up to the Quebec Agreement. The two countries had their own atomic programmes at this stage and I discuss the lead up to the amalgamation of both programmes in August 1943.
Chapter three examines the British raids on German heavy water facilities and the efforts to stop Germany acquiring the means to make an atomic bomb before the Allies. Co-operation between the British and U.S teams at Los Alamos is discussed, along with the crucial role played by Britain in assisting the American scientists.
The British nuclear spies are featured in chapter four, focusing on Alan Nunn May and Klaus Fuchs. Their actions are discussed along with their arrests and trials. Effects of their cases on British atomic diplomacy with the Americans are highlighted.
The final section sums up the legacies of Britain¿s nuclear programme and its effect on British Cold War politics with America and the U.S.S.R. The fusion, or hydrogen, bomb is mentioned briefly and an overall assessment of the achievements of the British scientists is included.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of Winston S. Churchill’s portrayal of the war in the Far East, as set out in his six-volume memoir The Second World War.1 The research interrogates Churchill’s portrayal of the war against Japan through an analysis of the memoirs themselves, and against the backdrop of the post-war world. The thesis focuses on Churchill’s depiction of the advent of war with Japan; his narrative of the British Empire’s wartime losses of Hong Kong, Malaya, and Singapore; his account of the events and crises which occurred in India from 1942 to 1943; and his representation of the Indian Army and its role in the re-conquest of Burma. Close scrutiny of the memoirs—especially the way in which they were written, the draft chapters, the revisions, the proofs and galleys, reveal how he performed his historical sleight of hand—but not why. Churchill claimed that history would be kind to him, especially as he intended to write it, but by studying the historian before studying the history the chasm between the Churchillian myth and the reality is revealed. Churchill’s self-made, interwar caricature as a die-hard Victorian imperialist backfired when it came to narrating the history of the war. His image as the British Empire’s dogged defender from the 1930s had caused significant friction during the war with the new empire he needed to court—the United States of America. If the British Empire were to continue to hold on to any semblance of power and prestige after the war, Churchill had to bend to American demands during the war. Yet when he came to write his memoirs, Churchill manipulated history so that the ‘special relationship’ would not be seen in its true light. He mythologized the ties that bound the English-speaking peoples so that the wartime ‘special relationship’ would not be revealed as temporary, transient, volatile and fragile. How he portrayed the war against Japan and why his glances eastwards were so infrequent are the subject of this thesis: how and why did Churchill hide behind the history of the war, east of Suez?

A presente dissertação tem como principal objetivo responder à seguinte
questão: É possível encontrar princípios políticos coerentes e consistentes que tenham
orientado a ação política de Winston Churchill e que, simultaneamente, expliquem as
duas mudanças de partido?
A minha proposta de análise deste problema começa por examinar diretamente
as duas mudanças de partido de Winston Churchill, em 1904 para o Partido Liberal e em
1924 para o Partido Conservador, o que ocupará, respetivamente, o primeiro e o quarto
capítulo deste estudo. Nessa parte pretendo fazer o levantamento das razões que o fizeram
mudar de partido nesses anos, das causas e princípios que foram decisivos, das políticas
partidárias que o levaram a quebrar a lealdade.
Depois, serão estudadas as principais causas que defendeu nos cerca de 20 anos
que separam as duas mudanças, e em que Churchill esteve no Partido Liberal. Escolhi
dedicar dois capítulos a esta parte, um à defesa dos direitos dos indivíduos, e outro à luta
contra a tirania, que ocuparão respetivamente, o segundo e o terceiro capítulo. Fi-lo por
considerar que estes princípios refletem claramente as ideias políticas de Winston
Churchill, ao longo da sua vida, sendo, portanto, essenciais para a compreensão da sua
teoria política, ou melhor dizendo, para conhecermos as fronteiras do seu pensamento
político.
Por fim, o quinto capítulo será dedicado à Teoria Política de Winston Churchill,
e com ele pretendo ilustrar o que Churchill defendia, representado pelo parlamentarismo,
e o que rejeitava, representado pelo socialismo. Terminarei esse capítulo abordando o
problema da consistência política procurando, sobretudo, o verdadeiro significado desse
conceito para Winston Churchill.

Text in EnglishThis qualitative psychobiographical study sets out to explore and describe the life of Sir Winston Churchill within the context of his lifelong experience with depression, his ‘Black Dog’. The aim of the research is to present a case for depressive realism with Churchill as the single case study. The reconstruction of Churchill’s life as a psychological narrative is contextualised within the theoretical framework of Alfred Adler’s Theory of Individual Psychology. Data was collated via biographical and life history material. Data was analysed by means of thematic analysis. Data trustworthiness and ethical considerations were adhered to. The findings of this study reveal that Churchill’s depression had positive gains of him striving to contribute to society, potentially demonstrating that depressive realism exists as a side-effect of depression. The significance of which, conceivably substantiates the idea that positive aspects of depression do exist, enabling a potentially more encouraging and constructive outlook for individuals suffering from depression.

The master thesis focuses on a more detailed analysis of the premises of British politics in relation to the Middle East after the First World War. Attention is focused especially on the territory of Mesopotamia, which is the center of all actions of neighboring states and the interests of the great powers. The thesis also includes the events of the war and the subsequent diplomatic negotiations held mostly at the Paris Peace Conference. Everything is viewed mainly from the perspective of British Empire and it's leaders. The finall goal of the work is to anchor the British mandates in the geographical area of the Middle East to the Ankara Agreement.

Full textAbstract:
British influence on the diplomacy of WWII, as it relates to postwar planning, is underappreciated. This work explores how the use of astute tactical maneuvering allowed Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden to impact the development of the post-war world in a greater degree than is typically portrayed in the narratives of the war. Detailing how the study of business negotiations can provide new insights into diplomatic history, Yalta exposes Britain’s impact on the creation of the post-war order through analyzing the diplomacy of WWII as a negotiation. To depict WWII post-war planning diplomacy as a negotiation means that the Yalta Conference of 1945 must be the focal point of said diplomacy with all the negotiations either flowing to or from the conference.
This analysis reveals that Britain harnessed the natural momentum of the negotiation process to create bilateral understandings that protected or advanced their interests in ways that should not have been afforded the weakest party in the Grand Alliance. By pursuing solutions to the major wartime issues first and most stridently through the use of age-old British diplomatic tactics, they were able to enter into understandings with another member of the Grand Alliance prior to the tripartite conferences. Creating bilateral understandings with the Americans on the direction of military operations and the Soviets over the European settlement produced the conditions under which the tripartite negotiations transpired. Options available to the excluded party were thus limited, allowing for outcomes that aligned more favorably to British interests.
A synthesis of diplomatic documents, diaries, and memoirs with historical writings as well as research on business and international negotiations brings to life the diplomatic encounters that led to the creation of the post-war order. To provide the reader a basis for analysis of wartime diplomacy, this work is broken down into two parts. Part I focuses on the strategies created for Yalta. Part II (future doctoral dissertation) will use these strategies to evaluate the performances of each party. Combined the two parts expose that British diplomatic maneuverings is an undervalued aspect of wartime diplomacy.

Full textAbstract:
The potency of memoirs to shape collective memory makes it important to seek a critical understanding of their political and historical functions. Memoirs offer insights into the character, motives, and influence of political leaders, yet many scholars question this genre's ability to produce accurate history, insightful political analysis, or literature of merit. However, to the extent that memoirs contribute to our knowledge and understanding of the past they deserve closer study. Memoirs mediate remembrance of the recent past by functioning primarily in the interval between contemporary political discourse and professional historiography, where their reception molds historical memory. This study assesses how the past is remembered, and the political influences embedded in memory that shape collective identities, through a study of Winston Churchill's metanarrative of the second world war, produced at a critical period in war memory formation. Exposing the politicized aspects of social memory requires examining the means by which private memories are transmitted into the public realm of collective consciousness. In the early postwar era, the dominant transmitter of war memory was the political press, which responded to war narratives by amplifying, dramatizing, or challenging their underlying political messages. Thus, we examine how Churchill's metanarrative of war was produced and promoted by his publishing syndicate, and how his messages were received by the political press and general reading public in Britain and America. After 1945, the main stimuli for contested political memory arose from widespread fears over security, freedom, rapid social change, and historical discontinuity caused by the war. Churchill's metanarrative of legitimation offered an explanation of the traumatic past that contained conservative lessons for political culture. His messages fused an abiding faith in the righteousness of imperial memory with a sense of historical destiny that linked the English-speaking peoples in a common cause to resist totalitarian challenges in the 20th century. Their reception reveals that imperial memory and the archaic language of redemption through war did not end with the first or second world wars, but gained a renewed sense of relevancy and power during the early cold war era.
