London. The Conservatives win the elections, and Winston Churchill returns to lead the government with renewed energy, despite being in his seventies. On the other side of the Atlantic, in the Special Relationship, Ike Eisenhower returns, albeit wary of his British ally. Churchill will promote the country’s nuclear armament, the first nuclear tests (1952 in Australia), and, at the end of his term, even the adoption of the H-bomb (1955). He will be in command during Mao’s rise in China and during the Korean War.
