World War II 

"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!"

- Winston Churchill, to the House of Commons on Dunkirk, 4 June 1940.
