Step-by-step explanation:

Winston Churchill's speech "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" reiterates the perseverance of the British people in fighting their enemies. He gave this speech in the House of Commons where he encourages the people to keep fighting. He emphasizes the importance of the nation to "never surrender", fighting passionately wherever- in land, seas, beaches, streets, anywhere. His historic speech was a means of urging the British citizens even with the military disasters the country had suffered. They need to keep up the resistance and fight hard to secure the country from a possible Nazi invasion.
