Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat: Questions

Can you think of any other wars or major conflicts where a speech with similar ideas to this would have been appropriate? Who'd be giving it?
What effect does Churchill's change in style and tone halfway through the speech have on the experience of reading or listening to it?
Do you think Churchill would have written or structured the speech differently if he were giving it to regular citizens rather than members of Parliament?
