Somehow, knowing the end does not spoil the story, the history.
Thank you for this documentary, all the wonderful old pictures and film and voice recordings 🙏🕊
After the whole story (even though I knew most of it) his heartfelt declaration to never surrender left me in tears. To bad we have no leaders of this quality todays
Winston Churchill has been named by many historians as the Man of the Century. Excerpt from Wikipedia of his many honors: "Perhaps the highest of these was the state funeral held at St Paul's Cathedral, after his body had lain in state for three days in Westminster Hall, an honour rarely granted to anyone other than a British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II also broke protocol by giving precedence to a subject, arriving at the cathedral ahead of Churchill's coffin. The funeral also saw one of the largest assemblages of statesmen in the world.
Throughout his life, Churchill also accumulated other honours and awards. He was awarded 37 other orders and medals between 1895 and 1964. Of the orders, decorations,
and medals Churchill received, 20 were awarded by the United Kingdom, three by France, two each by Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and Spain, and one each by the Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Libya, Nepal, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United States. Ten were awarded for active service as a British Army officer in Cuba, India, Egypt, South Africa, the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium. The greater number of awards were given in recognition of his service as a minister of the British government.
He was also given a US passport and made a citizen of the United States. And there were many more honors accorded him.
He was a racist, white supremacist with the blood of the Africans, Middle Easterners and Indians on his hands.
As for the US citizenship, his mother was American.
Great doc! Tks for the UPLOAD.
Put back the Great in Britain!
This is a most excellent documentary! Thank you, whoever made and produced it!
Thank you for this documentary my grandmother hated this man with a passion and she let us all know when she was at our house we were never ever allowed to speak of him. I thought where he came from and where he ended up was just amazing but my grandmother would hear nothing of it and it caused a rift in a relationship that never was repaired
Sounds like your Grandma knew what she was talking about. Churchhill was a clown who dragged the U.K into war.
@@melaninfarmerHitler invaded Poland and Chamberlain declared war on Germany so I fail to see how Churchill dragged the UK into war. And even if he did, wasn’t stopping the Nazis a good thing?
@@melaninfarmer high IQ comment
Green dragon, your grandmother sounds like she had bipolar or schizophrenic disorder. Did she?
I am sorry!
What a fantastic documentary, thank you ever so much for uploading it! ❤
It's pretty stunning to me that Winston was voted out of office right after victory. Seems George Bush took a page from history. "It's the economy stupid."
It was Britain’s move to the left and the welfare state, a move they have never fully recovered from.
And of course the labour party could not deliver on a single promise except to ruin the healthcare system. Britain was still under rationing until well into the 1950s.
George bush got his 2 terms so wtf u talking about lol.
@@globaladdict
"Mission Accomplished" Bush?
Am I weird because I very often struggle to be able to listen to the narration because of the loud music played on top of it? Does someone else struggle with this too? :D
You're not alone
@@phillipseiver1163 Thank you!
My sound equipment separates the music from the voice and I can turn the music down. It's on a separate track. If you update your soundsystem this will no longer be a problem for you.
@@nmr6988 Thanks!
music is horrible and way, way too loud ....agree 100 percent
Yes the music does often distract from the commen theme
The view of the weald of Kent is why he bought Chartwell.
It was an informative and a great documentary about infamous Winston Churchill...full of biographical explanation about Winston Churchill.
splendid
1:56:16 - Query: Is that a laptop computer on that 11 MAY 1940 desk? 🤔
I feel bad for him, all he wanted was his father's love and approval. It just goes to show, just because you are rich, it doesn't mean you have everything you need or want. Eventually, he found his place in the world.
Man of destiny
I wonder what Lord Randolph thought-- when after he died -he found out Sir Winston actually was one of two world leaders that saved freedom for the world! Just as I wonder what King George VI thought about Prince Philip in the later years!
Something is wrong with the dates shown. Galipoli shows as March / April 1915. After resigning he goes to France, and then it is Juanuary 1915? Three months before Galipoli…
Great documentary squeezed in amongst way too many commercials
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Churchill was a huge self-promoter and politics was the best way to accumulate influence and power. He NEEDED that power and influence in order to validate himself.
I totally understand the desire of Winston Churchill to obtain his fathers respect and possibly his love. It is like King George 5th and how he was with his children. As a person who tries not to judge previous decades on our current standards. I have never liked Lord Randolph Churchill. Your son became more than you ever were. I just wish Winston knew and believed it!!!

Tad heavy on the "Churchill was a racist" theme.
As a woman of color, even I know it was the times. If you asked people at the time, more people would say they didn't trust people who were different from them. The average man was bias.
😃😃😃
He rose in only two hours?!
😅
"it's a shame what happened, there were fine people on both sides, both sides, believe me" -Winston Churchill about WW2
Luckily even Rishi sunak also from aristocrat background, he had no father issue. otherwise...
Guy was a clown.
You are a person of no discernment.
He would probably be diagnosed with Asperger's if he lived during the early 21st century, so yeah he was a bit clownish. He also nevertheless was a lone bulwark against fascism and national socialism at a time when it really looked like Germany might win. So, all in all, I'd say he was a net positive to the world, wouldn't you?
LOL, you are talking about wussies Neville and Clement.
