The correct answer is, the purpose of Winston Churchill's speech in 1940 during World War II was to express the Great Britain resolution to go the war.

The speech is known as "We Shall Fight on the Beaches". It was addressed to the people of Great Britain during the difficult war times. Churchill informed the citizens about the risks of not entering the war, the probability of a German invasion to British territory. During the speech, Churchill informed the people about the installation of a cabinet aimed to design the strategies of war. He assured to the British that all efforts were going to be used to defeat Germany on air, land and by sea.

The speech was addressed to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on 4 June 1940. It was the second of three great speeches at that time. "Blood, toil, tears, and sweat" speech of 13 May and "This was their finest hour" of 18 June, were the other two speeches that had the most impact in Great Britain.
