39 years ago today, on December 29, 1986 (November 28, 1986 in the lunar calendar), British politician Macmillan passed away. Macmillan, Harold (1894.02.10-1986.12.29) was a British politician who served as Prime Minister from January 1957 to October 1963. My mother was born in the United States. His grandfather was one of the founders of Macmillan Publishing Company in London. He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford University and participated in the First World War. 1924-1929 He was a member of the House of Commons from 1931 to 1964. In the late 1930s, he condemned Britain's "appeasement" policy of Nazi Germany. In 1940, he served as the second government palace of the Ministry of Military Supply. In 1942, he served as Deputy Minister of the Colonies and was later sent to Northwest Africa to serve as Minister of the British Allied Headquarters in the Mediterranean Theater. He tried his best to maintain good relations with Eisenhower, Dygall and other senior Allied generals. He served as Secretary of the Air Force from May to July 1945, Secretary of Housing and Local Government Affairs in October 1951, Secretary of Defense in October 1954, Secretary of Foreign Affairs in April 1955, and Minister of the Exchequer in December 1955. After Eden resigned due to the Suez crisis, he was appointed Prime Minister and elected leader of the Conservative Party. Immediately after taking office, he began to solve the problem of insufficient state funds. He tried his best to improve Anglo-American relations that had been strained by the Suez crisis, and held many talks with Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. In February 1959, he went to Moscow to meet Khrushchev. At home, he firmly supported a series of post-war social reform plans in Britain and led the Conservative Party to victory in the 1959 election. In December 1962, he reached a Nassau agreement with President Kennedy under which the United States would provide nuclear missiles to British submarines. This incident angered Charles de Gaulle, who advocated getting rid of American control over Europe. On January 29, 1963, France vetoed Britain's admission to the European Economic Community, which was a heavy blow to him. Britain's balance of payments deficit forced the government to implement a wage freeze and other austerity measures since 1961, which greatly lost his government's support. The resignation of Defense Secretary J-Profumo in June 1963 on suspicion of being bribed by Soviet spies was another setback for him. Although his reputation improved slightly due to the negotiation of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the party continued to demand the election of a younger new leader. Macmillan resigned as Prime Minister on October 18, 1963. He refused to be promoted to a peerage and retired from the House of Commons in 1964 to begin writing memoirs. He later accepted a knighthood and was made Earl in 1984. Macmillan
