"We shall fight on the beaches" is from a speech by British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill to The House of Commons on 4 June 1940.
The speech was delivering bad news about the progress of war, and the imminent fall of France to a Nazi invasion.
The final paragraph of the speech:
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, 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 even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Probably Saratoga, in September 1777. This battle resulted in the capture of an entire British Army, proving to the world that Americans could successfully fight the British. This was the most important factor in the French decision to assist the Americans in fighting the ancient French enemy, the British. The French wanted to be sure they were not backing a dead horse. If not Saratoga, then Yorktown would be the most important battle. At Yorktown another entire British army was captured, and this proved to be the final straw for the British people, who no longer supported the war, once news of the disaster at Yorktown reached England.
