Personaje Histórico que más me inspira

The historical character that has most impacted my life has been Winston Churchill since he was a great
leader, who despite having been elected prime minister at the worst moment, and having everything against
him, knew how to encourage his compatriots, and inspire them. Likewise, despite having his party
colleagues against him because they wanted to surrender, he followed his instincts and listened to the
people, did not give up and maintained his position of non-surrender, leading England to remain until
victory.
But what strikes me the most about him as a character is that he was a great strategist because he was
able to return home to his army with some casualties but not as expected to lose the entire army. I think
that's what inspires me the most about his personality.
