best_know_for: Winston Churchill was a British statesman, soldier, writer, and orator who played a central role in 20th-century world history. Born in 1874, he began his career as an army officer and war correspondent before entering Parliament in 1900. Over the next decades, he held major government posts including First Lord of the Admiralty during World War I and later Chancellor of the Exchequer. Though politically controversial and out of office during much of the 1930s, he became a leading voice warning against the rise of Nazi Germany. In 1940, as Britain faced the threat of invasion during World War II, Churchill became Prime Minister and rallied the nation with powerful speeches and steadfast leadership, guiding the United Kingdom through its darkest hours and working closely with Allied leaders to secure victory. After losing the 1945 general election, he returned as Prime Minister from 1951 to 1955. In addition to his political career, Churchill was a prolific writer and historian, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. He died in 1965, remembered as one of Britain’s most significant and influential leaders.

claim_to_fame: World Leaders

best_know_for: Millard Fillmore was the 13th president of the United States, serving from 1850 to 1853, the last to be a member of the Whig Party while in the White House. A former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Upstate New York, Fillmore was elected as the 12th U.S. Vice President in 1848, and succeeded to the presidency in July 1850 upon the death of U.S. President Zachary Taylor. Fillmore was instrumental in the passing of the Compromise of 1850, a bargain that led to a brief truce in the battle over the expansion of slavery. He failed to win the Whig nomination for president in 1852 but gained the endorsement of the nativist Know Nothing Party four years later and finished third in the 1856 presidential election. Overall he shares the dubious honor of being one of the worst Presidents in American history alongside with Warren G. Harding and Donald Trump.
