United Kingdom
Anthony Eden 1897-1977
In 1935
he became foreign secretary at the
extraordinarily early age of 38,
although he resigned within three years,
in protest at Neville Chamberlain's
appeasement policy towards Germany.
While he always had an awkward relationship
with that other prominent anti-appeaser,
Winston Churchill,
the latter's elevation to the premiership in
May 1940
restored Eden to the Foreign Office.
In 1940-1945, and again in 1951-1955,
Eden was not only Churchill's foreign
secretary,
but also his acknowledged and uncontested
successor
as leader of the Conservative Party.
However, he grew resentful at Churchill's
refusal to step down
and by the time he finally succeeded Churchill
in April 1955,
he was already suffering from poor health.
