Why was the war-time coalition formed on 10 May 1940? p.94-8 Beware!! Q could also focus on Chamberlain or Churchill

Main factor Chamberlain’s poor record as PM 1. Appeasement 2. Failure to make pact with USSR 3. Slow response to organising British economy for war 4. Military crisis – Hitler’s invasion of Norway and Denmark in April Trigger – 7 May – Chamberlain opened Narvik debate

Short-term military situation triggered political crisis 4. After phoney war, Hitler had started his advance in Norway and Denmark in April British troops unable to prevent their defeat Days before Chamberlain had gravely under-estimated Hitler, saying that he had “missed the bus” and was too late to oppose the allies 5. Had to face House of Commons

Because it caused: Loss of support in parliament: Labour demanded resignation Lloyd George on behalf of Liberals did the same Rebel Conservatives would not support Chamberlain unless he could command a coalition of Lab and Libs Forced to resign

Contributory factor: Churchill as potential alternative Had always opposed appeasement Proved himself as 1 st Lord of the Admiralty in Was urging inclusion of Labour in gov’t Recognised as a propagandist Seen as energetic war leader Mother was American so could use connections with US to achieve loans and support

Led to: Even at time of crisis on 10 May 1940, there was a strong potential leader
