THIS IS THE 1ST HALF OF THE SPEECH. PLEASE ALSO WATCH THE 2ND HALF:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzfngEzmiSs

Speech delivered by Winston Churchill in 1946 in the auditorium (Aula) of the University of Zurich.

Sir Winston Churchill gives his opinion on the future of Europe promoting federation and giving United States of Europe as an example.

One thing has changed widly since this speech. In 1958 export of UK was distributed like this:
EEC - 13%
Rest of Europe - 13%
The Commonwealth - 52%

Today UK exports are distributed like this:
The rest part of EU - 56%
USA - 14.6%
The Commonwealth - 4%

The anomalous influence in the world of tiny European countries (such as UK or France) was dictated by historical events and our higher advance in time. We have no more this advantage in a global world. The only way to defend our interests is through our own - European - family.

  • @seronegativ....what are you talking about, is the better question. As for what I'm talking about...in the eyes of all the world, Switzerland declared neutrality during WWII...however, many trains carrying Jews to certain concentration and death camps, came through and stopped in Switzerland. Too, Switzerland hid Nazi money, and other definable components of Hitler's financial and economic resources, during WWII...making Switzerland collusionary in the madness. GOT IT?! GOOD!

  • @Elberiver11 sounds quite German, who else would call himself after a German river?: means a Nazi descendant wants to exculpate his ancestors. In other words: a Neo-Nazi in search for excuses

  • @GuerillaInThaMidst: What are you talking about?

  • cool

  • HOW WE NEED HIM TODAY!

  • Switzerland bears a wicked legacy, one that will chase the nation's sauntered name, across the seas of time. Switzerland, in that moment of decision, decided to side with evil. Humanity should not allow Switzerland to ever forget its choice. Humanity should forever resign Switzerland to the isle of its truth....and that truth being, that it bore no courage during a global call to right.

  • Europe will prevail!!!

  • Sir Winston was the man.
