The Greatest Brit

A few years ago, people in Englan voted for the greatest person of the all time from their contury. They were not just voting for a famous person ever. They were voting for people who had an impact on history. During this vote, anyone could add a person's name to the list. So the final list of names was quite long. It included people who were famous and unknown, rich and poor,loved and hated.

Before the final deadline,about one million people filled out this survey. The Brits on the final list included many people famous not only in Englan, but around the world as well. For example, Princess Diana, Tony Blair, John Lennon, and Shakespear were four famous people on the list. Although the three of these people ranked high on the list, none was chosen as the greatet Brit. In the end the winer was Winston Churchill, who received more than 400,000 votes. Why did so many people think Churchill great? He led England as Prime Minister during World War II. During the war, Germany sent planes to bomb England,and at that time,many people were afraid Germany would win the war.But Churchill gave people in England hope through his speeches. He also worked with Roosevelt in the United States and Stalin in Russia to win the war against Hiteler. So he became an important man on world history as well.

Churchill was quite famous for things that he said and worte. In fact, he won the Nobel Prize in the literuture for his writing. Some things he said were humorous while other things were serious.
