It was the day that world war began 15 years ago, and today the Prime Minister was giving a speech about the war when suddenly I saw him drop to the ground and suddenly everybody in the audience stopped. I turned only to see a man with a gun running, This is my Story. Hi I’m Dan Howell and fifteen years ago I was at a speech that the prime minister was giving. It was about mourning the death of all of those people in world war I. Then at about ten o'clock in the morning I heard the prime minister stop talking and drop to the floor everybody in the audience stopped. As I looked to see what had happened I saw out of the corner of my hazel eye I saw a man with a gun running at the prime minister and grabbed the minister's heart out of
On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill would give the "Sinews of Peace" speech and which would later be regarded by many historians as the official start of the Cold War. One of the most memorable quotes from the speech is "...an iron curtain has descended across the Continent." Winston Churchill's use of the term "iron curtain" was used to criticize the Soviet Union for having closed off Eastern Europe from the rest of the world. Having just come out of a world war, Churchill's intention with this speech was to present to not only to the United States but the entire world, the danger the Soviet Union and communism posed to world peace. At the time that Churchill gave this speech, the US for the most part still had a policy of isolationism, but this speech would help pave the way for the US to take center stage in global affairs. Throughout this speech, Churchill mentions American's love for democracy, freedom, capitalism, and peace. He also goes on to criticize the Soviet Union for spreading communism and tyranny, and he advocates
Woodrow Wilson, our 23rd president, became involved in a war that he did not want any part of. Wilson wanted to remain neutral and have peace as in his first term of office. During World War I Wilson’s roles in the war became well known in all countries. Wilson wanted peace more than anything else. In seeking for peace Wilson asked Congress for the U.S. to enter World War I. which may not sound like a peace strategy but Wilson felt it was the only way to stop Germany and gain peace.

He was the founder of the League of Nations,
In Winston Churchill’s speech “blood, toil, tears, and sweat”, and in Franklin D. Roosevelt's "The Great Arsenal of Democracy", there are many different rhetorical devices and they use them to build an effective argument. Both speeches were written and spoken at different times and different events were going on when the speeches were made, but both speeches are similar in the way that they are constructed and by the devices used in both. In their speeches both Churchill and Roosevelt tried to bring hope to the people during the hard times that the country was going through.
President Woodrow Wilson’s “War Message” addresses the momentous event of breaking neutrality and declaring war on the German government. Wilson explains that America can no longer remain stagnant. He calls his audience to action, through a tactical combination of both structured logic and emotional inclusion. Wilson begins his deduction with several points, starting with the details of the submarine warfare and the “wholesale destruction of men, women, and children” endured not only by the American people but various other countries (2). Wilson asserts that neutrality is no longer possible since peace and the freedom of the individuals of the world were under a direct threat (5). He reassures the audience that although his intentions were the same and he fully intended on keeping the American people safe, avoiding the war and remaining uninvolved was no longer a reality (4).
Woodrow Wilson was the president of the United States of America at the time during WWI. The U.S was content with staying neutral during the first world war and it proved to be extremely beneficial for them as they became rich. The economic surplus that came with being neutral was enough reason for the U.S to stay out of the war. They were eventually pushed into participating in the war and played a key role in the allies victory. The reinforcements from the U.S helped tip the scales in the allies favor in the battle against Germany in the western front. Despite the great impact that the United States made by entering the war, it took many unfavorable events to push them out of neutrality. Some of those events are detailed in the first image

The Queen delivers her speech to the courageous group of men and women who fought this rigid, enduring war. While Winston delivers his speech to the House of Commons. While analyzing and juxtaposing these two speeches and their contrastive audiences; it is very mere to see the compelling diction, dynamic emotion used in their speeches.

It was a cool night in Boston in early march. I was passing by the customs house while a group of boys began to yell and hollering at some British soldiers. As the boys continued the soldiers began to fluster, so much to the point that he strikes one of the boys with his rifle. And as soon as I can blink, I was in the middle of a crowd surrounding the soldier. As the crowd grew, more soldiers came to his side. The crowd started to get out of control so one of the soldiers picked up his musket and fired into the crowd and so his allies followed suit with one of the musket shots nearly missing me. All of the citizens run in all directions and the crowd nearly trampling children. I returned home and later discovered that the soldiers were placed under house arrest and soon after taken to jail and charged for the death of several people.

Before I knew it my left leg was being crushed.
On April 2, 1917, President Wilson wrote and spoke one of his famous speech: War Message. President Wilson wants to ensure the people 's hope and faith from the war. As President Wilson (1917) stated in his speech "Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it... Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single champion."was to fix the issue the nation was in. President Wilson wants to show the people that we need to get involved war for the loss of many American lives that Germany took. Wilson persuades to Congress to go to war.

All the persuasion he used to convince Congress was put in his famous speech War Message.
Prior to entering the office in 1913, Woodrow Wilson had no experience in the realm of international relations. He was formerly a college professor and a left extremist, but he surprised many with his military actions. Before entering WWI, Wilson had a lot of ideas about convictions and ideas about global issues, despite not possessing a lot of knowledge about international relations. The first policy passed was made by Wilson, and the Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan. It was a diplomatic policy based off of idealism, referred to as the “cooling off” treaties. Between 1913 and 1914, the nations that participated pledged not to go to war over the period of twelve months over disagreements. There was little meaning that came out of it that is shown in the after math of World War I. In the very beginning Woodrow Wilson did stick to his words and his idealism ideology, but it did not last for too long.
The old man picked up a rock and with little power threw the stone and hit the soldier in the chest but hidden by snow.

Following the collapse of France during World War II, the conditions the Allied powers faced became bleaker by the day. The United Kingdom was standing alone in the face of Germany, and under Hitler’s reign, the German “blitzkrieg” or “lightning war,” a tactic involving bombardment, tanks, and ground troops in quick offense proved too much for many countries. Winston Churchill would be the one to place hope in the hearts of the British people, delivering his “Their Finest Hour” speech on the 18th of June, 1940. Churchill utilized persuasive rhetoric whilst appealing to the people's logic and emotions, to raise morale and spirit in the United Kingdom to fight.
Winston Churchill symbolized Britain during World War II. His image, and that of the British people as a whole, was one of defiance in the face of overwhelming adversity. His galvanizing and courageous leadership as Prime Minister of Britain during World War II was the catalyst for the stubborn resistance of the British and the ultimate victory of the Allied forces over Hitler. His speeches stirred the masses and mobilized the British. When everything continued to go wrong, when things could seemingly get no worse, he was there to encourage and give support to the Allied armies. With his inspiring speeches, he motivated the nation of Great
