In July of 1917, Prime Minister David Lloyd George appointed Churchill Minister of Munitions. In this position, Churchill made a commitment to increase munitions production, streamlined the organisation of the department, and soon negotiated an end to a strike in munitions factories along the Clyde. He made repeated trips to France, visiting the Front and meeting with French political leaders, including its Prime Minister, Georges Clemenceau. After the war, in 1919 Lloyd George moved Churchill to the War Office as both Secretary of State for War and Secretary of State for Air.
