Question

Why is Churchill's speech considered historically important?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Because it renewed Britain's resolve to fight the war against Germany

Explanation:

"Their Finest Hour", the speech delivered by Winston Churchill in June 1940, is considered historically important because it renewed Britain's resolve to fight the war against Germany. With the “blitzkrieg” or “lightning war”, the Germans had seized many countries. Only France and Great Britain could fight Germany. When Paris fell on June 14, 1940, Great Britain was left alone to fight the German army. Winston Churchill delivered this speech to lift the morale of the army and to renew Britain's resolve to fight the war against Germany.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Because it renewed Britain's resolve to fight the war against Germany

Explanation:

Probably Churchill's most famous speech was that of June 18, 1940, when Britain was left alone in the war after the defeat of France, which occupied part of the territory occupied by the German army.

This speech earns important credit for cheering the UK on the eve of the British-German air confrontation over the waters of the English Channel.  Despite initial skepticism, Churchill's words inspired the British and for many historians played a key role in boosting Allied victory in World War II.
