Explanation:

There are many historical figures which were good at rhetoric.

One of the most famous speeches is definitely "We Shall Fight on the Beaches", a speech which he delivered to the House of Commons on June 4th, 1940. In this speech, Churchill describes a disaster which might ensue in case of the Nazi invasion, while at the same time he guarantees British victory. He prepares people to fight and motivates them not to give up. He also prepares the British people for France's surrender, which would soon happen. Although Churchill did have political adversaries, he had a very strong connection with the British people. They loved his speeches which gave the nation strength at the time of war.
