@Random_Blip 'You can add Indians to that list seeing as they hold him responsible for the Bengal famine of 1943 (millions of deaths).' Actually, only those who have been indoctrinated.
Actually, the Bengal Famine had a number of causes, among which were the number of refugees from Japanese held areas, the inability to import food from those same areas, stockpiling by hoarders and, perhaps worst of all, the Bengal administration, which tried to minimise the crisis. The worst that could be said of Churchill was that he should have known what was taking place, but didn't. After all, in 1943, he had little else to worry about.
You could also add the refusal of FDR to allow the transfer of merchant shipping, by the way. What is without dispute, except by those who choose to blame Churchill for everything since the Black Death, is that once he did find out, he transferred food distribution to the British Indian Army, and had grain convoys diverted from Australia to India. Seriously, when 2.5 million Indians were fighting for the Allied cause, would anyone really attempt to cause a famine?
I appreciate, of course, that you won't believe any of this, as it would require you to try to break your programming.
