Extended information:

Starting from May 10, 1940, the German army suddenly launched an attack on the Allies. It took only 10 days to conquer Belgium and the Netherlands one after another, and hit the West coast of France. It was also the day when the German army launched an attack. Churchill became the British Prime Minister. This seemed to be a fate. Churchill came to power to fight against Germany.

Churchill, who first came to power, was not recognized by everyone because everyone was not clear about his abilities. There were also many voices in the country about Germany. Some advocated war, some advocated peace, and some hoped. Request third-party mediation.

But in terms of peace or mediation, it was impossible for Britain to get justice when Hitler was invincible throughout Europe. Therefore, Britain under the leadership of Churchill insisted on resisting Germany, not seeking victory, but only seeking to avoid defeat and make peace with Germany and sign a humiliating treaty.

At that time, France fell and 400,000 British and French troops were besieged in northern France. Churchill made a prompt decision and ordered a retreat. In just eight days, more than 330,000 people were evacuated. No matter how bad the situation was, Churchill always led the people to fight with his iron will. In the air battle between Britain and Germany, due to Britain's tenacious resistance, Germany was forced to stop the air war and bomb London instead. This was the most important turning point in the Battle of Britain.

Churchill served as a role model for resistance during World War II and inspired all anti-fascist people.
