Winston Churchill's Speech

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

Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill both delivered exhilarating speeches to their troops and counties with the battle of Britain. 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.

Winston Churchill’s Iron Curtain speech was given at Fulton, Missouri on March 5, 1946, shortly after WWII ended. This iconic speech had such a powerful impact. Being compared to Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech of 1963 the “Iron Curtain” speech is ranked as one of the most famous speeches ever made by someone out of high office. In the Iron Curtain speech, also known as the Sinews of Peace Winston Churchill declares that "an iron curtain" had descended across Europe. This was the symbolic beginning of Cold War. It announces the new situation facing the United States and tells how the “cold” war should be handled to avoid WWIII and to achieve peace. Churchill had trouble getting the United States government to think of potential

“Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”-Winston Churchill. Likewise, criticism is the same with speeches. As Andrew Dlugan has stated that one must first understand the objectives, audience, and context to criticize the speech’s effectiveness.

In Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech, “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence”, King asserts that the war in Vietnam is a “symptom” (7) of a much larger disease that affects the “American spirit” (7). The disease King mentions is causing destruction where ever it is found, and in the case of the Vietnam war, it has led to their oppression and the death of people. In the section, Strange Liberators, King states, “They move sadly and apathetically as we heard them off the land of their fathers into concentration camps where minimal social needs are rarely met. They know they must move or be destroyed by our bombs” (8). King believed that the disease was leading the United States to take drastic actions against the Vietnamese people. The U.S.

Winston Churchill worked extremely hard and achieved many high positions in his lifetime. Not many people have accomplished what he achieved. Since he was young, Winston Churchill had wanted to be like his father, but instead, he went way

Racism has always been a major problem in America. However, it was known to be the most problematic in the late 1950s. On August 28 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his infamous speech “I Have a Dream” to America. His dream highlighted the injustices of segregation and discrimination of African Americans that took place in this nation every single day. Dr. King inspired thousands despite the color of their skin, to take a stance against racism, with his powerful way with words. In his speech MLK efficaciously uses, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos by using allusions, developing credibility, in his speech to persuade all Americans to be aware of the problems with racism.

In his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention on June 27, 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt mentioned many challenges and concerns facing the United States during that time period. In his speech the President used short-hand phrases, brief references, and pejorative naming to make his larger, political and ideological points. FDR used terms like ‘economic royalists’, along with phrases like ‘new despotism wrapped in the robes of legal sanctions’, to identify the large corporations, investors and employers, who according to him are trying to influence policies and control the government for their own personal benefits. The President also uses phrases like ‘Necessitous men are not free men’, to reiterate his concerns and to point out how the working people of America are being deprived from their rights by these very same privileged employers. FDR compares 1936 to 1776, referring to the American Revolution and its significance in putting the power back in the hands of the average Americans, and how it is necessary to check the power of the corporations in order to protect the interests of the American people and restore the power back in the hands of the people.

In addition to the highlights of Winston’s life, the little things that took place throughout his lifetime are important too! Although Winston didn’t hate many people, he was not a fan of Gandhi. After Winston proclaimed his hatred for Gandhi, he became prone to accidents...karma. It is said that,“He nearly drowned in a Swiss lake, fell several times from horses, dislocated his shoulder while disembarking from a ship in India, crashed a plane while learning to fly and was hit by a car when he looked the wrong way to cross New York’s Fifth Avenue,” (“10 Things You May Not Know About Winston Churchill”). See even when Winston wasn’t giving out exceptional speeches that brought hope to all nations, his life was still very

His life is an example of his spirit, overcoming the difficulties with which he was presented, and making himself stronger as a result of it. Churchill was a more than just a great speaker though; he was a great man and a great leader as well. He took over as Prime Minister of Britain during one of the most trying times ever to come upon the country, and led his country to eventual victory over their adversaries. The analysis of his speech allows one to come closer to understanding the true rhetorical genius of the man known as Churchill. In particular,

Winston Churchill’s “Iron Curtain Speech” in the eyes of Stalin when he responded was stating that Churchill was basically saying what Hitler said before he started mayhem and took over Germany. Stalin declares that Hitler believed that the German people believed they were above all other nations and therefore they needed to take over. Churchill in his speech states that we the people should understand and work to have other countries become a democracy and have “freedom” because he believes we are right. Stalin gives another statement saying that the Russians lost millions of soldiers because of the attacks of the Germans. Stalin declares that the U.S. was not there to support them in time of need of those attacks. Churchill in his speech

Winston Churchill had an incredible background, which had earned him the respect of the people and the influence as the second most powerful individual in the United Kingdom. Churchill enrolled into a Military college when he was of age, and participated in many conflicts surrounding the areas of Cuba, India and Sudan. In 1908, Churchill became a politician. During his time as a member of parliament, he began the movement to support the labor class of the British, introducing the ideas of minimum wage, insurance for the unemployed and most importantly the People’s Budget, which taxed the rich to support the social departments. These achievements within the military and in the parliament supported his ethos when regarding the people.

On the brink of war, with the enemy force appearing impenetrable and unstoppable, new Prime Minister Winston Churchill has the daunting task to rally parliament to enter the war. While speaking to the House of Commons, the representing body in the United Kingdom, he must not only create a lasting impression, but illustrate the logistics of the meeting as well as the dire importance of victory for the Allies. He opens with the immediate facts to answer any of the parliament’s doubts or concerns, then he focuses his attention to unity and expands his audience to the entire country of the United Kingdom to express the sentiment of unity and the importance of the call to arms.

During the 1930s and 1940s, the world was in a state of turmoil. Nazi Germany and imperial Japan presented a grave threat to the entire free world, inevitably culminating in a second World War. The United States, Great Britain, France, Soviet Union, and China would form the Allies, fighting against the tyranny and evil regimes of the Axis Powers, made up of Germany, Japan, and Italy. Fighting would take place across numerous landscapes, raging through cities, forests, sea, and air.
