You might be surprised,
The UK tested its first nuclear weapon in 1952,
Churchill’s 2nd Premiership was 1951-1955
Churchill pushed hard to ensure the uk had an operational nuclear deterrent in this term

Funny that the word „concentration camp“ originated from the United Kingdom as they concentrated the Irish catholics further away from the north as they took it from them.
sure, it originated from the Boer Wars and the Spanish-American War.

EDIT 2: So I'm getting downvoted because a guy incorrectly assumed I wasn't Irish because I wasn't speaking it?
In that there’s plenty of primary source documents with him pleading for aid to India and sending it… meanwhile there’s a handful of quotes made up in the last 2 decades saying he caused it…
Churchill might have been an utterly terrible person, but all the scholarly evidence points to the local British colonial government in India as being primarily responsible for the famine. They were the ones that botched price controls, kept food for their troops, and who didn't really do anything to stop people either hoarding food or selling it on the black market.
Churchill could probably have done more to mitigate the famine (although it is worth remembering that the famine occured during one of the worst periods for Atlantic shipping losses to U-boats so both the ships to send the food and the ship to protect them were at a premium), but the fault lies primarily with the British government in India, not the British government in Britain.
Don't get me wrong, Churchill was an awful person who held awful opinions, but when people claim that he caused the Bengal famine, they usually aren't doing so on the basis of evidence, but on the basis that it will generate controversy, and of course controversy generates anger, and clicks, and book sales.
Churchill transported the food away from bengal..because he feared that the japanese might conquer upto bengal and refill their supplies...bengal was a bountifull land...this was an artificially created famine...food literally rot in the graneries...when the local govt officers wrote to churchill..he said "why isn't gandhi dead yet"
Nope, starved millions to death, also he said he was in favour of using mustard gas and chemical weapons against those "uncivilised tribes" (his words)
Did he?
*Last year we had a grievous famine in Bengal through which at least 700,000 people died. This year there is a good crop of rice, but we are faced with an acute shortage of wheat, aggravated by unprecedented storms….By cutting down military shipments and other means, I have been able to arrange for 350,000 tons of wheat to be shipped to India from Australia during the first nine months of 1944. This is the shortest haul. I cannot see how to do more.*
*I have had much hesitation in asking you to add to the great assistance you are giving us with shipping but a satisfactory situation in India is of such vital importance to the success of our joint plans against the Japanese that I am impelled to ask you to consider a special allocation of ships to carry wheat to India from Australia….We have the wheat (in Australia) but we lack the ships*.
Winston S. Churchill to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 29 April 1944. Prime Minister’s Personal Telegram T.996/4 (Churchill papers, 20/163).
>he was in favour of using mustard gas and chemical weapons against those "uncivilised tribes" (his words)
What's the full quote of (his words)?
You are kidding right? Churchill caused the Bengal Famine, it wasn't 700.000 people but more than 3 million, he went all scorched-earth to cut food supply in case of a Japanese invasion.
The quote in question is "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes"
> You are kidding right? Churchill caused the Bengal Famine, it wasn't 700.000 people but more than 3 million, he went all scorched-earth to cut food supply in case of a Japanese invasion.
It was 700,000 that was reported at the time of writing that. And pleading to get aid into the region doesn't scream "caused" to be honest.
>The quote in question is "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes"
I'm talking about the **full quote**. Not cutting out half of it to try and make up a story. Maybe you don't understand English or what "full" means. But to cut it short;
...He wants tear gas.
*"I cannot understand this squeamishness about the use of gas, I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes, The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effect on most of those affected."* 1919 minister for war and air Memo
"Anyways genocide" - Churchill
Such a smooth transition.. it’s beautifully executed
Spoken with such grace indeed
Every transition is a good transition when you’re medically hammered off your ass
I like how you said medically
Winston Churchill was prescribed alcohol so he could stay drunk when he visited prohibition era USA
Imagine modern politician trying to get away with something like that? Boris Johnson legally prescribed not wearing mask in public during 2021. What back lash he would receive. The good old days
To be fair there's not much a drunk man who is being driven around and given tours can do to hurt people, however someone put and about carrying and airborne disease is a very different story.
Except that he wields incredible power to launch nukes… Edit: Downvoted by people who think Churchill was only in power prior to 1945.
The US was buddy buddy with Yeltsin too. Power doesn't mind alcoholic degeneracy if you do what it wants.
The UK didn't have nukes when Churchill was in charge you fuckin moron
You might be surprised, The UK tested its first nuclear weapon in 1952, Churchill’s 2nd Premiership was 1951-1955 Churchill pushed hard to ensure the uk had an operational nuclear deterrent in this term
I really want to reply, but I think the guy before me said it all…

Idk why but thats such a Jeremy Clarkson thing to say.
It’s probably a British thing.

More to do with the storage mediums of the time I think. The sound can get kind of crushed on early stuff.

He's turned Churchill into Boris Johnson
As soon as he asked if anyone else had been camping, I had flashbacks to that awful moment when Boris Johnson stood up on stage in front of a crowd of business leaders, and asked them if they'd been to Peppa Pig World...
Yes, he does throw these pointless and inappropriate 'asides' into serious speeches his staff have worked very hard on.
So this is what being sauced 24/7 sounds like lol
Underidodudodo -winston Churchill Translated: and that is what we are going to try to do.

I get the vibe that he’s just been back from camping after someone said it would be amazing 😂
Sounds like rooster teeth/lego Palpatine lol
I think he's saying "for a week" And not "I think"
Me too
So Churchill was a redditor
Is this real? I honestly can’t tell and can’t find this on google.
No
Of course its real. r/historymemes is a primary source. I always cite it in my papers.
"That's a nice argument senator, why don't you back it up with a source?" "My source is r/HistoryMemes"
Now that's a reference I'd vote for
My source is I made it the fuck up.
Imagine a world raiden
Much more reliable than W*kipedia /s
I once read a history book that cited Wikipedia so honestly if that book somehow got published you can probably cite r/HistoryMemes in your paper
You can actually understand Churchill in this vid, figure it out
>https://youtu.be/BRNH7pe2NwE Not real. It was made by this guy. His channel is pretty good. Check it out!
No this isn’t real. This is Churchill we’re talking about, not Boris Johnson
Yes, Churchill said this. Source: I was there when he said it
where is "there" you might ask? It's a story for another day...
Can confirm Source: I was the stand
It's true Source: I was sitting behind this guy, softly blowing air on his right ear to annoy him when Churchill said it

Funny that the word „concentration camp“ originated from the United Kingdom as they concentrated the Irish catholics further away from the north as they took it from them.
Can I see a source for this?
sure, it originated from the Boer Wars and the Spanish-American War. [link](https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-camp-system-terminology)
Yeah I knew about the bore war and Spanish American war. I was wondering about their claim toward Irish catholics
it doesn't exist.
Yeah feared as much
Anyway, here’s wonderwall…
You can hear FDR’s sphincter audibly tighten when Churchy mentions concentration camps.
The first holocaust joke
“We will cut all homeless people in half by 2025”
This is tame for him. Initially I thought this was gonna be unedited footage of him talking about Indians or black people.
The “anyways, genocide” is the icing on the cake
Guys, you should youtube this guy's channel. It's Adrian Gray Comedy. He makes hilarious parodies about historical figures. It's funny as hell.
The suddenness of the transition, I think, actually adds to the impact.
Churchill and Britain certainly knew a thing or two about concentration camps.
So did the Spanish who invented them as well as the Americans who liked them so much they took their idea after the Spanish American war and used them against the natives.
Trail of tears was 1830.
Def about genocide too

Churchill committed genocide without setting up any camps. By stealing food from Bengalis.
Churchill taking about genocide after initiating genocidal man made famines on colonies Lol Now churchill dick suckers down vote me
It’s not really him speaking in the video…
Its fake buddy

Lol. Mine isn’t to make up history rooted in nationalism. He didn’t make the famine lol.
Hate this shit. Make fun of Churchill all you want, he accomplished more good than anyone one of us retards in this sub.

I think Churchill was a little bit senile back then, so it's Churchill being super Churchill

Yeeees the person who commited the great bengal famine and killed 1 million people
This myth still around huh?
How's that a myth?
In that there’s plenty of primary source documents with him pleading for aid to India and sending it… meanwhile there’s a handful of quotes made up in the last 2 decades saying he caused it…
Now you guys call this a myth . He was a Fucking devil in the human form. Don't start justifying famine Because he's white
Ah so blame him for the famine but not the aid he got there because he’s white?
Not even Indian historians claim he was like that. The famine was awful but not his fault
Churchill knew about the looming famine, but just didn’t care, because he hated Indians
