'''Clement Attlee''', 1st Earl Attlee (1883 - 1967) was the Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] from 1945 to 1951. He was leader of the [[Labour Party]], and is remembered as the leader of the socialist government that was elected in the aftermath of [[World War II]] and which nationalized British industry, gave independence to India, opposed Communism in the [[Cold War]], and was wracked with economic hardships. During the war, he served as [[Winston Churchill]]'s Deputy Prime Minister.  He made Britain a junior partner of the [[United States]] in the [[Cold War]]--and indeed pushed the U.S. away from supporting Stalin's Communism.
