Margaret Thatcher dies at 87
Margaret Thatcher died earlier today at the age of 87. The video below discusses the new path that her policies and ideas brought to Great Britain. Although many remember her highs and the great changes she brought, the beginning of her tenure was quite challenging. She served for 11 years and unfortunately was pushed out by her own party. After leaving office, Thatcher stayed out of the public eye.

Margaret Thatcher was one of the defining global figures of the late 20th century. She was one of a kind. She thrived on conflict, relishing the practice of politics and statecraft at home and abroad. She broke the power of the trade unions that led to massive criticism from her opposition party. Her economic policies were termed Thatcherism as we studied in class.
Margaret Thatcher will never be forgotten. She broke throw so many barriers and acted as a role model to may women in politics. Her economic policies were revolutionary and unheard of. But she stood by her policies and she still remains one of the greatest Prime ministers of the United Kingdom.
