  1.  user-lr9mo9my6j  well I can see that you're another person who understands no history at all. The Russian empire only spanned about six time zones. And after world war II they essentially added Eastern Europe to it. They were also multiple times more brutal than than the British ever dreamed of being. First it was the Zarist secret police then the dreaded NKVD that became the KGB. In the Eastern European satellites they had outfits like the stassi in Eastern Germany. Basically your statement is completely false. The sad thing is I don't think you even know it

  2. ​ @Mac-dx4rd if you actually knew anything of the history you would see why Winston Churchill is a hero in the British people and western civilization in general. But you need reasons to hate so focus on that

  3. ​ @DesL488 nothing about history shocks me because I know more history than almost anybody I've ever met. I think what is annoying is that she puts the color of her skin above the nation that she's a citizen of. It's a matter of emphasis and a desire to separate people over things in the past which by the way can't be changed

  4.  @pamelakoretsky9909  it's hysterically funny to me that history teaching in the United States has fallen into such a low level that somebody would actually have to Google how American Indians came to be called Indians

  5. ​ @kewpified I've been following the news for decades and I've noticed that people on the left interrupt constantly in every possible setting.

  6. ​ @KemetledAfrica well there are things that I find unacceptable like for example you

  7. ​ @joecurran2811 thank you for your remarkably uninformed comment

  8. ​@Darkallamusthe Europeans never stopped being colonizers that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The British are about the only example in history I can think of who voluntarily wound down an empire. Drop the colonialism claptrap

  9. ​ @judithhall6683 so you hate your own country too?

  10.  @pamelakoretsky9909  he wasn't off course he was sailing west to sail across the ocean to reach China. It was a pretty good idea except for the fact that they underestimated the circumference of the earth and didn't realize that there were two full continents between Europe and China

  11.  @KemetledAfrica  if only that was literally true

  12. ​ @malluk3065 easily so go ahead and spell some more and make yourself more ridiculous

  13. ​ @adrianh332 not to mention that one side of the political debate that is silenced 95% of the time

  14.  @malluk3065  I suspect that you have a tissue paper thin understanding of history. Not worth listening to at all

  15.  @rcrawford42  Alfred the Great is certainly a contender but I would argue that Winston Churchill's impact was profound not only on England but on Western civilization and globally to a great deal

  16. I love his writing style I've enjoyed his works like the history of English-speaking people's the world crisis the second world war etc

  17.  @donnae1899  I know all about the Bengal famine which took place during wartime and was primarily driven due to the fact that the nearby rice fields in Burma have been overrun by the Japanese. Blaming Churchill is a mark of ignorance

  18.  @MiximusRider  I love Thatcher but well Winston Churchill actually saved Western Civilization from barbarism.

  19.  @neilgillespie4498  I'll put that down as a non answer because obviously you don't know a freaking thing about history

  20.  @effewe2  considering that I have detailed knowledge of the entire campaign from the first attempt to force the Dardanelles with battleships to the end I don't think that I'll be worrying about your uninformed opinion. What are you some kind of Turkish fan boy? You should play these games with someone who doesn't know 100 times as much as you

  21. @ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511  I understood this point but when you start out saying that Europeans are always colonizers you kind of strike a bad chord with the point you're about to make. He should have said that Europeans are always treated as colonizers, far more clear

  22.  @gpw203  he had the brilliant stroke to try to get to China by heading west the world having relatively recently been generally accepted to be round. The problem was that the Earth's circumference was about 40% bigger than the estimated at the time and there was an entire pair of continents between Spain and China

  23.  @malluk3065  oh by the way thanks for the advice not listening to you is a really good idea and I suggested to all others reading this

  24. The third world countries that were part of the British empire are generally the ones in the best shape because the British left them with a locally staff fully functional civil service and and railroad

  25.  @everest9707  that's a big part of it but now they actually just lie as well

  26. ​ @roblewis8227 anyone that serves as that leader will be labeled a right-wing extremist whether they are or not

  27.  @dannyhernandez631  Churchill did not create the British empire. Also this is a fact and undisputable fact that most people don't want to recognize and that is that the former British colonies fared far better than the former colonies of other empires throughout the ages.

  28.  @KygoCalvinHarris-xu4kv  some of the African tribes still hate each other. Tribalism is one of the things that makes creating viable nation states in Africa so difficult

  29.  @faramir  I'm sure that the people of Great Britain I think it's bad enough that they have to put up with this crap from some of their own people and are definitely against importing more people who hate them and have complete contempt for their culture and their laws

  30.  @pamelakoretsky9909  I hate to break it to you but everybody used to know all of this by the time they were in about 5th grade. So not inconvenient facts just completely well-known history

  31. @Silver749 the Bengal famine was primarily caused by the fact that nearby rice fields in Burma have been overrun by the Japanese

  32. ​ @Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus unfortunately it's extremely common here in the under 40 set and even worse with Gen z.

  33.  @KygoCalvinHarris-xu4kv  all great choices. Churchill had a bigger global impact and he was a huge figure in both the first and second world wars and the period between the wars. He was prime minister again nearly 50 years after world war I began. Any left behind a body of work, of historical writings that would be impressive someone who only did that for a living. I highly recommend his four volume work called the world crisis about world war I and his six volume history of world war II and his, I can't remember if it was four or five volume, history of the English speaking peoples are all pure gold

  34.  @sullyx5142  like there's any chance that anything anybody says to me online could make me cry. I'm not some little left-wing, Metasexual half man. Now take your inferior little mind and run along

  35.  @FunnyTummyART  who exactly do you imagine Great Britain is suppressing today? You haven't got a clue on what you're talking about about the present or the past

  36.  @andread5560  enjoy I've read a lot of Churchill in well you're going to like it

  37. Did you actually think that sounded intellectual because it's ridiculous for you to say there's no such thing as Western Civilization just because there's multiple variants of it. When the next 10 years reading and then come back and post again

  38.  @Mac-dx4rd  Well there's a lot of crappy booked out there but there's a ton of really good ones about the second world war and particular run up to the second world war which is almost more fascinating in the war itself. Churchill himself wrote a multi-volume history of the second world war that is excellent. The Russian German war is another great factually solid book that deals with what really was the biggest part of world war II which is Germany versus the Russians on the eastern front. There are a number of other really good books written by people who were major players at the time.

  39.  @katofuntato466  really calling people are racist should have lost all its power by now

  40.  @suenette4931  every single people on Earth who had it in their power built an empire the British were just one of the last and I might add compared to the others extremely well behaved

  41.  @swaythegod5812  rather idiotic statement considering that the Angles, Saxons and jutes have been there since shortly after the Romans withdrew

  42.  @bladehiram5334  I'm afraid that the potato famine that you're talking about took place before he was born

  43.  @albertchurchill4845  capitalism? The economic systems that has created the most wealth for the largest number of people compared to any other system? Is that what you mean?

  44.  @effewe2  I'm sorry but my historical knowledge far outweighs yours and Gallipoli wasn't fact blown by the commanders on the spot the Turks were not ready the British sat on the shores for like 2 days and waited for Ataturk to bring up his army. That was but one of the mistakes of the British commanders and French on the spot. The meme that it was all Churchill's fault is more like pop history than actual history.

  45.  @Mac-dx4rd  please list your country's problems that were created by Winston Churchill

  46.  @katofuntato466  who cares what you think. I'd like to tell you right now and not only am I smarter than you I'm far better educated and far more widely read. Can you do square roots your head?

  47.  @katofuntato466  I never report anybody to anybody. I leave that to little snitches who have yet to display any particular knowledge of anything. So what is your big claim to fame besides being a hall monitor?
