Great Britain’s first female prime minister was Margaret Thatcher. Born on October 13, 1925 in Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK she attended Oxford University from 1943 to 1947 and earned a degree in Chemistry, but it was clear from early on that politics was her true calling. She stood as a Conservative candidate from Dartford in the 1950 and 1951 elections. She practiced tax law for a time in the 1950s, but was elected to Parliament from Finchley in 1959. The relationship shared by Margaret Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan was one to be admired. Her relationship with American Presidents did not end when Reagan stepped down. It was Thatcher who persuaded President George Bush to send troops to Saudi Arabia right after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. Return to

Stalin aligned with the United States and Britain in World War II (1939-1945) but afterward engaged in an increasingly tense relationship with the West known as the Cold War (1946-1991).
