Winston Churchill has been named by many historians as the Man of the Century. Excerpt from Wikipedia of his many honors: "Perhaps the highest of these was the state funeral held at St Paul's Cathedral, after his body had lain in state for three days in Westminster Hall, an honour rarely granted to anyone other than a British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II also broke protocol by giving precedence to a subject, arriving at the cathedral ahead of Churchill's coffin. The funeral also saw one of the largest assemblages of statesmen in the world. Throughout his life, Churchill also accumulated other honours and awards. He was awarded 37 other orders and medals between 1895 and 1964. Of the orders, decorations, and medals Churchill received, 20 were awarded by the United Kingdom, three by France, two each by Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and Spain, and one each by the Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Libya, Nepal, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United States. Ten were awarded for active service as a British Army officer in Cuba, India, Egypt, South Africa, the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium. The greater number of awards were given in recognition of his service as a minister of the British government. He was also given a US passport and made a citizen of the United States. And there were many more honors accorded him.

He was a racist, white supremacist with the blood of the Africans, Middle Easterners and Indians on his hands. As for the US citizenship, his mother was American.

Thank you for this documentary my grandmother hated this man with a passion and she let us all know when she was at our house we were never ever allowed to speak of him. I thought where he came from and where he ended up was just amazing but my grandmother would hear nothing of it and it caused a rift in a relationship that never was repaired

I feel bad for him, all he wanted was his father's love and approval. It just goes to show, just because you are rich, it doesn't mean you have everything you need or want. Eventually, he found his place in the world.

I totally understand the desire of Winston Churchill to obtain his fathers respect and possibly his love. It is like King George 5th and how he was with his children. As a person who tries not to judge previous decades on our current standards. I have never liked Lord Randolph Churchill. Your son became more than you ever were. I just wish Winston knew and believed it!!!

He would probably be diagnosed with Asperger's if he lived during the early 21st century, so yeah he was a bit clownish. He also nevertheless was a lone bulwark against fascism and national socialism at a time when it really looked like Germany might win. So, all in all, I'd say he was a net positive to the world, wouldn't you?

Ghandi's life was crafted by his British Educated and influenced privileged upbringing. He was the embodiment of victim virtue singling and destroyed India in retrospect, seeing the way India is in 2024. Ghandi is an example of an absolute failure of a man.
