The speech that Churchill gave to Parliament in 1938, proved to be extremely significant as he ultimately predicted the Second World War. Churchill saw that Hitler could not be trusted as Hitler’s objective was to expand Nazi Germany. Being able to accurately predict the future can not only prevent millions of deaths but it can also save humanity from a corrupt
