The Best Britons of Our Time

There have been many great and important British people throughout history. Some are known for only small things, but others are known for great things that changed our lives. Some have made a great impact, whilst others have made a smaller impact. Some have invented or discovered things, whilst others have spoken out loud. Any of these things can make you important. As there have been many important British people throughout history with different titles against their name, it was very hard to choose the three Britons that have had the biggest impact on British history. However, I have finally made a decision and I think that the three greatest Britons are; Winston Churchill, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Sir Isaac Newton. I feel that these three people have made the greatest difference to British history. In the following paragraphs, I shall explain what they have actually done, why I have chosen them, what impact they had on British history, which one of them is the most important and some other information about them and what they did.

The first man that is going to be described is Winston Churchill. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill KG, OM, CH, TD, FRS, PC was born on 30th November 1874 at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.

During the time of the Boer was, Churc...

...ant are because, firstly, if it hadn’t been for him, then we would probably not have the type of bridges and other engineering activities that we have now. This is because he brought about solutions to problems to do with engineering that were pending for a long time. Also, he designed and constructed new types of bridges and ships as well as other things. These constructions had new features to them and were more effective, meaning that people could use them easier and quicker. Also, he made travel faster and more efficient, meaning that people did not have to spend that much time. This did not necessarily change the word, but it did make travel a lot easier and it brought by solutions to other problems. I think that the most important point that makes Brunel an important person is that he developed engineering to a higher standard and made it better for everyone.
