Question

I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined the government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal.
But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.
Which three lines in the speech Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat demonstrate Winston Churchills prediction of how war will impact Great Britains future?

Answer 1

Winston Churchill's speech 'Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat' predicted a difficult future for Great Britain in three key lines, highlighting an extreme ordeal, a prolonged period of struggle and suffering, and the necessity of victory for survival.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seeks to identify Winston Churchill's predictions about how war would impact Great Britain's future from his speech Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat. In this speech, Churchill indicates the severe impact and prolonged struggle Britain would face. The three lines from the speech that embody these predictions are:

• “We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.”
• “We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.”
• “Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”

Each line forecasts difficult times ahead, emphasizing that there would be an extreme ordeal, a lengthy period of struggle and suffering, and the necessity of victory for survival, regardless of the cost or difficulty.
