As First Lord of the Admiralty in WWI he was a driving force in the development of the “tank” (so named as a subterfuge to conceal its true purpose) He was let go by the PM as Lloyd George took over from Asquith. Churchill then enlisted and went to the continent and fought in the trenches.

Churchill was a driving force in both world wars, a patriot he was, but no libertarian.
