Anthony Eden in Worldwar
Anthony Eden served as Secretary of State for War during World War II and the Race Invasion, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when the Race's Colonization Fleet arrived.

When Winston Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940, he appointed Eden Secretary of State for War. Later in 1940 Eden returned to the Foreign Office, and in this role became a member of the executive committee of the Political Warfare Executive in 1941.

After the Race's Conquest Fleet invaded Earth in 1942, Eden did not represent Britain at Big Five strategy conferences, as these were hosted in London and Churchill himself was available to speak for Britain. However, Eden did travel extensively during the war, mainly to the United States and Germany, and he represented Britain when Atvar convened a meeting of representatives of leading human governments in Cairo in 1944 to discuss peace terms.

At Cairo, Eden obtained guarantees that the Race would respect British sovereignty, but would not have full diplomatic relations with the Race until it developed an atomic bomb. Eden was also forced to give up Britain's territorial claims to its imperial colonies except for Northern Ireland.

Eden succeeded Churchill as Prime Minister and was head of Britain's Government when the Colonization Fleet arrived in 1962. As Prime Minister, he cultivated a closer relationship with Germany and made life difficult for Jews. However, he kept Britain out of the war between Germany and the Race that began when German Chancellor Ernst Kaltenbrunner invaded Poland in 1965.
