1. Churchill gave this speech only three days after being sworn in as Prime Minister. He chooses his Cabinet Members in the days prior to the speech.

1. Churchill’s speech was directed at the House of Commons, his newly appointed, and soon to be appointed Cabinet Members. The speech was both deliberative and ceremonial. Churchill wanted the House’s approval of the new government and cooperation in the war against Nazi Germany. His ethos at the time was of mixed opinion. He was the First Lord of the Admiralty in 1914 and was appointed it again in September 1939, but replaced Chamberlain as Prime Minister after he resigned (Cannadine,1989, 147).

1. On May 13, 1940, Winston Churchill addressed the House of Commons in regards to whom he recently appointed as his Cabinet Members. He is rushed because of the war being so close to home. He kept his speech short and to the point and lets the House know that it is going to be long and tough. Most of Europe is in the control of the Germans and strategically, England would be the next target.
