Not necessarily true. Carthage went down fighting, and never rose again. Gaul, specifically under Vercingetorix and the Arverni tribe leading them, never truly rose again after their defeat. Additionally, many peoples who violently resisted an occupier were then genocided and ceased to exist, while some collaborators, survived and thrived (i.e. the Kipchaks who submitted to Genghis Khan then ruled the Golden Horde later). The idea that Britain would have ceased to exist if it surrendered, isn't accurate. If it was nuked and genocided, THEN it would cease to exist. The British Empire is what would have ceased to exist, the colonial empire that the great Winston Churchill wanted to preserve. The irony there, is that the very same British Empire was betrayed by it's American allies who during the war, bullied Britain to give up world currency reserve status from the British Pound to the American Dollar (Petrodollar made from British protectorates like Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, and even the Saudis were allies of the British in WW2, severing ties with the Germans 10 days after the invasion of Poland and exclusively selling oil to the British, which was critically important for the war effort and often unmentioned, the US then stole that relationship, from the Petropound to the Petrodollar), and the US even opposed Britain in the Suez Crisis, a final nail in the coffin of the British Empire (if you can't guarantee trade and transport thru the Suez, maintaining colonies in the Pacific becomes untenable).

@@stephenflanagan8518 Stand fast there. The Commonwealth was established in 1926, when it was known as the British Commonwealth of Nations. In 1949 it became the Commonwealth of Nations and is so today. The change of name had no structural significance, other than that being a republic was no barrier to membership.

The Prime minister of England and the King of England sit down for a little chat. Both are horribly antisocial in their own particularities, but somehow come to the same predilection. "We must join together you and and I to defeat this monstrosity." It's a fantastic scene, and I do not doubt it was shot this way for some obtuse reason.

Stop the England stuff, they were the King and the Prime Minister of the UNITED KINGDOM (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), stop cutting those 3 other nations by saying England...
I love this scene… without the resolve of a few leaders, and the majority of the brave English people, buying time for my people (US) to find our resolve (with a not so subtle nudge from the Japanese), things may have come too late…

Great moment

King George had served in the military, and Churchill had fought in war before as well. So George would be thr closest ally that could relate to what Churchill was going thru in this time.
Lovely scene
Gary Oldmans performance in this film may be the best ever. You just don’t see him at all, of course prosthetics are phenomenal as well
Churchill got G.B. through the war and as soon as WWII was over, the Brits to show their gratitude, turned him out of office. Sad.

I despise the Labour party as much as any man with red blood in his veins, but Churchill was a wartime leader and the country then was tired of war. With hindsight, we can say that Labour should never be elevated to office, but at the time you cannot blame the public for wanting something different.

Halifax was almost as big a traitor as Edward was. This is a wonderful film. It shows the strengths and flaws of the characters. It is so sad we do not have leaders who have courage, ethics and honesty as they did then. Our world is poised on a cusp of complete annihilation due to the fascist once again and there really is no one to lead us in any country.

This is not Churchill.
A traitor and a usurper.
Note: the reason for the King's siding with Churchill to fight on was due to the following: 3 days earlier to this , a cable was sent to the Canadian government asking if the King and the royal family could be evacuated to Ottawa. The answer back from the Canadian government was immediate: " Hard NO. He can't come here '!! So the King, sitting in the room with Churchill, knows that they have to fight on , and has become a Churchill supporter, something he wasn't until then !!
