Iron Curtain Speech
Winston Churchill
Cristina Cabello
I had recently watching the movie called “The Darkest Hour”. It was a pretty good movie but also kind of dry to my taste. But it displayed Churchill in a way that I had never learned in high school. Or maybe just never paid enough attention too. I really liked how you wrote this article but there was just so much to cover. I also liked the attached video. It is a good add to Churchill’s legacy.

Winston Churchill was quite the politician since he seemed to have a sense of what would happen and what to fear. It amazes me how nobody in the British Parliament seemed to take him seriously till it was too late. Another surprising turn is how he didn’t get elected as prime Minister after WWII since he has such keen insight. The video attached to the article was also a nice add on.

Winston Churchill is quite possibly one the most influential and greatest leaders in the world. For anyone to come into the position he had and come out on top says so much for his character and ability to lead that country despite all the hardships. Yes he was removed from office in 1945 after the Nazi’s surrendered, but it was not because of his lack of approval in office. It was due to the fact that there was still a war in the Pacific to fight and the British feared they would be involved in another part of the war they were completely unable to fight.

Really great article with so much information. I know of Churchill only through his role as British Prime Minister during World War II, and I found it interesting to read more about his background prior to this. Churchill seems to have been quite an extraordinary man and an even better public speaker. It is interesting to me that he sought not to appease the enemy but to stop them instead. Churchill was excellent at reaching out to America for support in the war and convincing the US to offer assistance even though they wanted to remain neutral.

Nice article. I love Churchill. The loss of the election must have surprised him, but i can see why the people of Britain voted him out of office. They aching for a change from the conservative principles Churchill represented, and that is why the elected Attlee. His government would be forward thinking and revolutionary. Churchill’s speech was a great speech. It is funny how Britain and the West, once, worked so close with the Soviet Union. After the war though, things quickly fell apart. Churchill’s speech is extremely relevant still today, with North Korea and all

This was a very interesting article about Winston Churchill. I did not know that Churchill lost in a landslide election just four years after he was appointed by King George to be Britain’s Prime Minister. Churchill, in his famous speech, said that the United States and Britain needed to continue to work together in war and even after the war’s end.

Though my knowledge is very limited on the subject in my opinion Wintson Churchill is an amazing orator. He was able to captivate his audience and spread the message of peace and collaboration between the UK and the United States but in a manner that appealed to US values such as freedom of happiness and talking about the US’ power. Very smart man!

Before reading this article I had no idea that Winston Churchill lost his election after WW2. I was surprised reading this given the fact that he led his country through a war and outlasted getting conquered by the Germans just less than a year before he lost his election in 1945 but what happened after his term was still something of greatness with his iron curtain speech. Churchill was a true leader.

I always thought that he had had a successful career as PM even after post-WWII, I had no idea he actually lost the election of July. He was so important alongside FDR during WWII that I wonder what was going through British minds in the time they voted. Churchill has always been seen, as far as I’ve read, as somebody who shaped history and gave so much for Britain and the world. But it seems British thought otherwise.

The structure of this article was very well crafted. It helped the audience learn about a character they might not have known of prior to reading this article without diverting them from the widely remembered and know speech of all time. Winston Churchill was an admirable leader who did not stand in the shadows but spoke about the hot topics that were occurring at the time.
