Winston Churchill
Blood, Toil, Tears & Sweat (1st speech given in the Battle of France)
This speech became famous after being recited to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on the 13th of May 1940. Also, it was given after having been offered the King's Commission the previous Friday, to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the first year of World War II. Churchill had just replaced Neville Chamberlain on 10th May and in his speech, he asked the House to declare its confidence in his government and the motion passed. Moreover, he told his government that he had nothing to offer but 'blood, toil, tears and sweat. This affected the United Kingdom and its government who had a belief in the new Prime Minister to help fight Hitler.
We Shall Fight on The Beaches (2nd speech given in the Battle of France)
This speech was made by Winston Churchill as well, on the 4th of June 1940. Within this speech, Winston Churchill was needed to describe a great military disaster and warn a possible invasion attempt by Nazi Germany without casting a doubt on the victory of Europe. It also needed to prepare the domestic audience for France's disagreement of war - without making the French Republic to do so. Furthermore, it wished to emphasize a policy and an aim unchanged from his speech on May 13, wherein he declared his goal of "victory, however long and hard to road may be".
