It was Churchill's sheer force of will that saw Britain through the dark days of 1940. After the loss of the BEF in Europe, and then Dunkirk, Churchill would still not think about treating with Hitler. He realized that Hitler was evil incarnate. Furthermore, Churchill also knew that to maintain the British Empire, it had to be from a position of strength. If Britain had sued for peace, then India would surely have rebelled and left. Other elements of the British Empire would have followed. Churchill also fostered a very close friendship with FDR. This would turn out to be very advantageous throughout the war

Answer
by his able Deputy Clement Atlee.
However, more than all these things, to understand the importance of Winston Churchills importance in over-all victory is to understand the nature of what political leadership is.
Leadership is this and nothing more: It is the expression of the highest qualities within a group! Ergo, what would one subscribe as the most important qualities in a politician? Inspirational? With a plan? Integrity? Sound a lot like Winston Churchill's speeches?
Winston Churchill, one of the greatest human beings ever to have lived, and the Defender of the Republic.

He was the prime minister of Great Britain and was a strong person he visited the troops and along with the Americans, President Eisenhower. They decided to attack Germany and plan D DAY in Normandy.

Further information:

Winston Churchill served as Prime Minister of Britain from 1940-45, during WWII. His powerful oratory and refusal to make peace with Hitler were vital in rallying and maintaining British resistance to Germany. This was particularly so during the first two years of the war and the onslaught of the Blitz by the German Luftwaffe, which was aimed at crushing British morale. Initially, Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany, but Churchill promised his country and the world that the British people would "never surrender". To that end, Churchill initiated the 'V for Victory' campaign during the early stages of World War II, in July 1941. The BBC used the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, which matched the dot-dot-dot-dash Morse Code for the letter V, playing it before news bulletins and in its overseas transmissions. On the radio program that launched the campaign, Churchill announced, "The V sign is the symbol of the unconquerable will of the occupied territories and a portent of the fate awaiting Nazi tyranny. So long as the people continue to refuse all collaboration with the invader it is sure that his cause will perish and that Europe will be liberated."

Because he gave inspirational speeches to the British people and convinced them that Britain would eventually win the war when many people believed that it couldn't be done.
