May 7-10, 1940
Politics, Britain
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who signed the 'Peace In Our Time' headlined treaty with Germany, is severely criticized over the Norwegian campaign during a House of Commons debate. Chamberlain resigns after a significant fall in government support in a vote of confidence and the opposition Labour Party's refusal to serve under him in a coalition.
Winston Churchill replaces him and forms a coalition government
(These events closely parallel what happened in Britain this summer, 2010, when the government regime under Tony Blair was replaced by the coalition under their new prime minister David Cameron.)
