This was the second of three major speeches given around the period of the Battle of France, with the others designated as the "Blood, toil, tears, and sweat" speech of 13 May, and the "This was their finest hour" speech of 18 June . Events developed dramatically over the five - week period, and although broadly similar in themes, each speech addressed a different military and diplomatic context . </P> <P> In this speech, Churchill had to describe a great military disaster, and warn of a possible invasion attempt by the Nazis, without casting doubt on eventual victory . He also had to prepare his domestic audience for France's falling out of the war without in any way releasing France to do so, and wished to reiterate a policy and an aim unchanged--despite the intervening events--from his speech of 13 May, in which he had declared the goal of "victory, however long and hard the road may be". </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs additional citations for verification .
