What is known as the “Dunkirk spirit”?

Correct Answer: The evacuation of Allied soldiers from France during World War II

The "Dunkirk spirit" refers to the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France during WWII (May–June 1940).

As France fell to Germany, civilian volunteers in small boats helped the Royal Navy rescue over 300,000 soldiers from the beaches near Dunkirk. The phrase now symbolises collective resilience and community spirit in the face of adversity.
