Lord Randolph Henry Spencer-Churchill[a] (13 February 1849 – 24 January 1895) was a British aristocrat and politician.[1] Churchill was a Tory radical and coined the term 'Tory democracy'.[2] He participated in the creation of the National Union of the Conservative Party.
He became Secretary of State for India, and later was Chancellor of the Exchequer. As Chancellor, he attracted both admiration and criticism across the political spectrum. Some critics were from his own party, including some of his friends. Eventually, he risked a tactical resignation as Chancellor to try to secure his position on armed forces expenditure, but the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, accepted his resignation and replaced him. This was the "beginning of the end" of Churchill's career.
His elder son was Winston Churchill, who wrote a biography of him in 1906.[3]
