Question

What did Winston Churchill vow to the British people after the evacuation of Dunkirk?

Answer 1

Never to surrender.

Explanation:

After Dunkirk, Britain stood alone as Nazi Germany had conquered most of mainland Europe. Churchill had already made his famous blood sweat and tears speech and he re-affirmed this position after Dunkirk.

His speech including the phrases * we shall fight them on the beaches ---- we shall never surrender reflected his determined position. (Hitler had hoped the British would surrender and enter into an alliance with Germany against the Soviets).

The third of these speeches This was their finest hour came a couple of weeks later.
