Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (November 30, 1874, to January 24, 1965) was a British politician, military officer, and writer who served as the prime minister of Great Britain from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955. In 1900, Churchill became a member of Parliament in the Conservative Party for Oldham, a town in Manchester.  Unconvinced that the Conservative Party was committed to social justice, Churchill switched to the Liberal Party in 1904 After becoming prime minister in 1940, Churchill helped lead a successful Allied strategy with the U.S. and Soviet Union during World War II to defeat the Axis powers and craft post-war peace. On January 15, 1965, Churchill suffered a severe stroke that left him gravely ill. He died at his London home nine days later, on January 24, 1965, at age 90.  

Because White British people are the largest ethnic group in the UK, other ethnicities are sometimes referred to as 'ethnic minorities'. As well as Black, Asian, Mixed/Multiple and other more specific categories of ethnicity, the ethnic minorities in the UK include members of White minorities, such as those from either an Irish or a Gypsy background. Terms such as ethnic minority, BME (Black and minority ethnic) and BAME (Black, Asian, and minority ethnic) are often used interchangeably. In line with the  ONS style guide  , we use the term ethnic minorities rather than BME or BAME.

Improvement of life conditions The overall improvement in life conditions and the role of technologies now available have contributed to increase  gross domestic product  per capita by one and a half times in less than half a century (1960–2005) Life expectancy In 1960, the average  life expectancy  of the world population was 50 years.  In high-income countries life expectancy is now over 80 years
