Explain the AH Quote DB

So basically this is the idea, the first person posts an alternate-history quote.

The next person explains how that quote came into being. Then they post their own quote.

And so on.

I'll start:

"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our nation, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this nation or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the our great fleet, would carry on the struggle" - Prime Minister Winston Churchill
