  • After the Great War, the Silver Shirts, under Oswald Mosley, seemed to be in position to overtake the Conservative Party as Britain's rightist party. The Conservatives outflanked the Silver Shirts by shifting farther to the right under the leadership of Winston Churchill. In the 1930s, the Conservatives won control of the Government by entering into a coalition with the Silver Shirts. Churchill became Prime Minister and Mosley became Chancellor of the Exchequer. Association with the Silver Shirts had the effect of moving the Conservatives even farther to the right, especially during the Second Great War. The Conservative leadership became almost indistinguishable from their Silver Shirt counterparts. The power of the Conservative Party (and the Silver Shirts) was broken in 1944, when Germany destroyed three British cities, including London, with superbombs. The Churchill government was dissolved on a vote of non-confidence, and the Conservatives fell from office.
