Good morning Brits, Can y`all help this yank out?
What are you on about you idiot These speeches lifted hearts in dark times, gave hope in despair, refined the characters of men, inspired brave feats, gave courage to the weary, honoured the dead, and changed the course of history. We Shall Fight on the Beaches June 4, 1940; House of Commons, London "I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do.
That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. 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, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." NO MENTION OF AMERICA what he meant by the New World,was that the United Kingdom would continue to fight until Adolf Hitler was removed from power along with.
The British Commonwealth and Empire the free fench the poles the resistance fighters in occupied country's together a new world that would rid the old world and liberate all from the Nazi grip it didn't mean captain america, batman, and the boy wonder along with rambo and the 7th cavallry all manically waving american flags and charging to the rescue shouting we come from the land of the free and the home of the brave and were here to kick some Nazi butt and save the day,fear not puny little Europeans, conquer we must, when our cause it is just were the god damn best Hitlers just a pest, y'all go rest, WE'LL DEAL WITH THE REST HOOAH! The pm david Cameron can say what he likes he does not speak for the british people from 1939 to 1942 Britain and the Commonwealth remained the only major force continuing the fight against the Axis america did not even enter the European theatre until d day our pm was just trying to make friends with your obama, a waste of time as a few Weeks later london told washington there Special relationship was over and they would get no more political help from Britain and blair is just making money, and they are not our leaders, the british don't have leaders they represent the government not the people and even if they were grateful to america for anything it would be nothing at all to do with you or any of the american public,it would just be the american government nothing to do with americans, and anyway why would we thank america for fighting in ww2 you didn't join in to help the british it was because germany declared war on you, we on the other hand fought in defence of europe, germany didn't even want to fight us and kept trying to make peace with us through out, unlike you lot we fought because it was the right thing to do, and this country alone stopped hitler in his tracks.
It's called traditional British politeness. They feel sorry for your inferiority complex and that whenever your leaders open their mouths they either insert a foot or reduce the rest of the planet into howls of laughter and derision - usually both (see G.W. Bush, Reagan and the current incumbent for details)... ~ " I heard y'all went for a year for your inferiority complex " - sorry Ray, I know English is not a language that you find easy to get to grips with but i'm afraid resorting to gibberish isn't going to help matters. On top of which these desperate comments of self-aggrandisement and desire for approval speak volumes.
You really do cut a most pitiful figure.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
