Winston Churchill SpeechesIn his first speech to the House of Commons after having been offered the King's commission to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Winston Churchill famously proclaimed:
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.
You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalog of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs—Victory in spite of all terror—Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.
This speech was delivered on 13 May 1940, less than a month before another one of Churchill's legendary speeches: WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER (We Shall Fight on the Beaches).

Thank YouAn IRON CURTAIN has descended - VIDEO RECORDING from The Sinews of Peace speech by Winston ChurchillWinston Churchill Speeches2017-07-30 | VIDEO RECORDING of "The Sinews of Peace", also known as the "Iron Curtain speech" - a famous historic speech made by Winston Churchill on March 5, 1946 to the Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri. Russian historians date the beginning of the Cold War from this speech.
Churchill reflected on the situation in Eastern Europe with these famous words: From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.
Thank YouThe THREAT FROM NAZI GERMANY - 1934 speech by Winston ChurchillWinston Churchill Speeches2017-07-30 | A visionary speech by Winston Churchill. As early as 1934 Churchill was warning about the threat posed by Nazi Germany and its aggressive expansionist ideology. In this radio speech he predicts that one-sided pacifism will not make war less likely, on the contrary, it will have the opposite effect. Back then a lone voice raising the alarm concerning German rearmament, Nazi violence and Hitler's ambitions, his words went mostly unheard, including the newspapers, the majority of which ignored Churchill’s speech.
In this radio broadcast Sir Winston Churchill famously proclaimed: Now they are rearming with the utmost speed, and ready to their hands is the new lamentable weapon of the air, against which our navy is no defense, and before which women and children, the weak and frail, the pacifist and the jingo, the warrior and the civilian, the front line trenches and the cottage home, all lie in equal and impartial peril. Now, these are facts, hard, grim, indisputable facts, and in the face of these facts, I ask again, what are we to do?

"This was their finest hour" or "Their finest hour" is a famous historic speech delivered by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 18, 1940.
Churchill reflected on the dire situation in France and talked about the looming Nazi invasion of the British Isles. But most of all, with his unshaken determination he rallied the British People and prepared the Nation for resistance: If we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.
"This was their finest hour" was the last of three major speeches given around the period of the Battle of France (the others two being "Blood, toil, tears, and sweat" speech of 13 May, and ""We shall fight on the beaches" speech of 4 June). Events developed dramatically over the five-week period, and although broadly similar in themes, each speech addressed a different military and diplomatic context.BE YE MEN OF VALOUR speech by Winston Churchill (First speech as Prime Minister)Winston Churchill Speeches2017-06-04 | Be Ye Men of Valour is the first speech by Churchill as Prime Minister. The speech was made in a BBC broadcast on 19 May 1940, when the strategic situation in Europe was quickly deteriorating, as the Wehrmacht surprised the French army by advancing through the Ardennes, and consequently breaking through the defenses at Sedan and crossing the Meuse.
The speech concludes with a famous quotation from the Apocrypha, which supplies the phrase by which the speech became known:
Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.
Thank YouGERMANY SURRENDERS announcement by Winston ChurchillWinston Churchill Speeches2017-06-04 | Winston Churchill announces Germany's unconditional surrender. The radio broadcast was made at 15:00 on 8 May 1945 (V-E Day) from the Cabinet room at 10 Downing Street.
The British Prime Minister announced: "Hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight tonight, but in the interests of saving lives the 'Cease fire' began yesterday to be sounded all along the front, and our dear Channel Islands are also to be freed today." He also expressed gratitude to all the anti-Nazi forces and warned that after celebrating the Victory-in-Europe Day, there is still the task of defeating Japan.

"We Shall Fight on the Beaches" or "We Shall Never Surrender" is a famous historic speech delivered by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 4, 1940.
Churchill reflected on the disaster in France and rallied the British nation with his unshaken determination: We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!
"We Shall Never Surrender" was the second of three major speeches given around the period of the Battle of France (the others two being "Blood, toil, tears, and sweat" speech of 13 May, and "This was their finest hour" speech of 18 June). Events developed dramatically over the five-week period, and although broadly similar in themes, each speech addressed a different military and diplomatic context.
