SECTION A
Churchill 1930–1951
Study the three sources and answer both questions in this section.
1 Use your knowledge of the events surrounding the abdication of Edward VIII to assess how
useful Source C is as evidence of support for Edward during the Abdication Crisis. [10]
2 Using these three sources in their historical context, assess how far they support the view that
Churchill acted unwisely in the Abdication Crisis. [20]
Source A: A Conservative MP who supported Baldwin records Churchill’s attempt to prevent
Edward VIII abdicating.
I ran into Bob Boothby, a friend of Churchill. He told me in confidence that last night at Chartwell,
Churchill’s home, he and Archie Sinclair (Leader of the Liberals) and Winston Churchill drew up a
paper to the effect that ‘I will never undertake, as long as I am king, a marriage against the wishes of
my ministers’ – which they hoped the king would sign. It would give him a way out, for in the future,
should his position become intolerable, he could still abdicate, or as might easily happen, future
ministers might eventually allow the marriage to Mrs Simpson. The problem was how to get the king
to sign it. I see a ray of hope, but the House of Commons does not. The king is losing support.
Henry ‘Chips’ Channon, diary, 7 December 1936.
Source B: A supporter of Churchill writes to him following Churchill’s speech in the Commons,
during which he, Churchill, was shouted down by other MPs.
You were going to use all your powers [which would have been] decisive. This afternoon you have
delivered a blow to the king, both in the House and in the country, far harder than Baldwin ever
conceived of. You have reduced the number of potential supporters to the minimum possible. I should
think now about seven in all. And you have done it without any consultation with your best friends and
supporters.
Sir Robert Boothby, letter to Churchill, 8 December 1936.
Source C: Churchill speech following the abdication of Edward VIII.
In the prince there were discerned qualities of courage, of simplicity of sympathy, and, above all,
of sincerity. Qualities rarer and precious which might have made his reign glorious in the annals of
this ancient monarchy. It is a tragedy that these very virtues should, in the private sphere, have led
only to this melancholy and bitter conclusion. But, although our hopes today are withered, still I will
assert that his personality will not go down uncherished to future ages. That it will be particularly
remembered in the homes of his poorer subjects and that they will ever wish from the bottom of their
hearts for his private peace and happiness.
I must say one word more. We cannot afford – we have no right – to look back. We must look forward:
we must obey the exhortation of the Prime Minister.
Churchill, speech to the House of Commons, 10 December 1936.
