@@penguinlivesmatter215 It actually wasn't his fault. Bengal was on the frontline with Japan meaning that many crops were destroyed in the fighting. Grain was diverted due to the fact that it would take far longer for grain to come from Canada and the United States than it would from the grain he had already sent from Australia. He is in no way responsible for the famine and the idea that he is a complete fallacy.

you fail so much it makes me cringe,Next Churchill turned to famine relief. Canada had offered aid, but in thanking Prime Minister MacKenzie King, Churchill noted a shipping problem: “Wheat from Canada would take at least two months to reach India whereas it could be carried from Australia in 3 to 4 weeks. At Churchill’s urging, Australia promised 350,000 tons of wheat. Churchill feared a resultant loss of war shipments between Canada and Australia, but King assured him there would be no shortfall. Canada’s contribution, he said, would pay “dividends in humanitarian aspects….”. The famine continued into 1944, causing Secretary of State for India Leopold Amery to request one million tons of grain. Churchill, who had been studying consumption statistics, now believed India was receiving more than she would need. He remained concerned about the shipping problem, “given the effect of its diversion alike on operations and on our imports of food into this country, which could be further reduced only at the cost of much suffering.'' The Cabinet cited other causes of the famine rarely mentioned in latter-day denunciations of Churchill: the shortages were “partly political in character, caused by Marwari supporters of Congress [Gandhi’s party] in an effort to embarrass the existing Muslim Government of Bengal.” Another cause, they added, was corrupt local officials: “The Government of India were unduly tender with speculators and hoarders.” Amery and Wavell continued to press for wheat, and in the Cabinet of February 14th Churchill tried to accommodate them. While shipping difficulties were “very real,” Churchill said, he was “most anxious that we should do everything possible to ease the Viceroy’s position. No doubt the Viceroy felt that if this corner could be turned, the position next year would be better.” Churchill added that “refusal of India’s request was not due to our underrating India’s needs, but because we could not take operational risks by cutting down the shipping required for vital operations.'' The war pressed Britain on all sides; shipping was needed everywhere. Indeed, at the same time as India was demanding another million tons, Churchill was fending off other demands: “I have been much concerned at the apparently excessive quantities of grain demanded by Allied HQ for civilians in Italy, which impose a great strain on our shipping and finances,” he wrote War Secretary Sir James Grigg. “Will you let me have, at the earliest possible moment…estimates of the amount of food which is really needed….” A month later Churchill was hoping India had turned the corner when his Minister of War Transport, Frederick Leathers, reported “statistically a surplus of food grains in India.” Still, Leathers emphasized “the need for imported wheat on psychological grounds.” What were they? Amery explained that “the peasant in 750,000 villages” might hold back “his small parcel of grain” if no outside aid was in sight. He said he could ship 200,000 tons, “provided that the twenty-five ships required were surplus to the Army’s needs.” But Amery wanted double that quantity. Again trying to help, the Cabinet suggested that India had underestimated its rice crop. While agreeing to send the 200,000 tons, Churchill told Amery he could get another 150,000 tons from Ceylon in exchange for excess rice: “The net effect, counting 50,000 tons previously arranged [was] 400,000 tons of wheat.” In April, it was Lord Wavell asking not for 400,000 but 724,000 tons! Now the problem was unseasonable weather and a deadly explosion in the Bombay Docks, which destroyed 50,000 tons of food grains.. Peasants were still holding back their crops, he said; rumors were circulating “that London had refused to ask America for help.” The exasperated Cabinet retorted: “If we now approached the United States and they were unable to help, it would at least dispel that allegation.” One can sense Churchill’s frustration. Whatever they did, however they wriggled, they could not appease the continued demands from India-even after calculations showed that the shortage had been eased. Churchill agreed to write President Roosevelt for help, and replace the 45,000 tons lost in the explosion. But he “could only provide further relief for the Indian situation at the cost of incurring grave difficulties in other directions.” As good as his word, and despite preoccupation with the upcoming invasion of France, Churchill wrote FDR. No one, reading his words, can be in doubt about his sympathies: Have a read before making dumb comments

your bullshit british propoganda is not going to work here. The Bengal Famine: How the British engineered the worst genocide in human history for profit The British had a ruthless economic agenda when it came to operating in India and that did not include empathy for native citizens. Under the British Raj, India suffered countless famines. But the worst hit was Bengal. The first of these was in 1770, followed by severe ones in 1783, 1866, 1873, 1892, 1897 and lastly 1943-44. Previously, when famines had hit the country, indigenous rulers were quick with useful responses to avert major disasters. After the advent of British rule, most of the famines were a consequence of monsoonal delays along with the exploitation of the country’s natural resources by the British for their own financial gain. Yet they did little to acknowledge the havoc these actions wrought. If anything, they were irritated at the inconveniences in taxation the famines brought about. The first of these famines was in 1770 and was ghastly brutal. The first signs indicating the coming of such a huge famine manifested in 1769 and the famine itself went on till 1773. It killed approximately 10 million people, millions more than the Jews incarcerated during the Second World War. It wiped out one-third the population of Bengal. John Fiske, in his book “The Unseen World”, wrote that the famine of 1770 in Bengal was far deadlier than the Black Plague that terrorised Europe in the fourteenth century. Under the Mughal rule, peasants were required to pay a tribute of 10-15 percent of their cash harvest. This ensured a comfortable treasury for the rulers and a wide net of safety for the peasants in case the weather did not hold for future harvests. In 1765, the Treaty of Allahabad was signed and the East India Company took over the task of collecting the tributes from the then Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. Overnight the tributes, the British insisted on calling them tributes and not taxes for reasons of suppressing rebellion, increased to 50 percent. The peasants were not even aware that the money had changed hands. They paid, still believing that it went to the Emperor. Partial failure of crops was quite a regular occurrence in the Indian peasant’s life. That is why the surplus stock, which remained after paying the tributes, was so important to their livelihood. But with the increased taxation, this surplus deteriorated rapidly. When partial failure of crops came in 1768, this safety net was no longer in place. The rains of 1769 were dismal and herein the first signs of the terrible drought began to appear. The famine occurred mainly in the modern states of West Bengal and Bihar but also hit Orissa, Jharkhand and Bangladesh. Bengal was the worst hit. Among the worst affected areas were Birbum and Murshidabad in Bengal. Thousands migrated from the area in hopes of finding sustenance elsewhere, only to die of starvation later on. Those who stayed on perished nonetheless. Huge tracts of farmland were abandoned. Wilderness started to thrive here, resulting in deep and inhabitable jungle areas. Tirhut, Champaran and Bettiah in Bihar were similarly affected. Prior to this, whenever the possibility of a famine had emerged, the Indian rulers would waive their taxes and see compensatory measures, such as irrigation, instituted to provide as much relief as possible to the stricken farmers. The colonial rulers continued to ignore any warnings that came their way regarding the famine, although starvation had set in from early 1770. Then the deaths started in 1771. That year, the Company raised the land tax to 60 percent in order to recompense themselves for the lost lives of so many peasants. Fewer peasants resulted in fewer crops, which in turn meant less revenue. Hence the ones who had not yet succumbed to the famine had to pay even greater taxes so as to ensure that the British treasury did not suffer any losses during this travesty. After taking over from the Mughal rulers, the British had issued widespread orders for cash crops to be cultivated. These were intended to be exported. Thus, farmers who were used to growing paddy and vegetables were now being forced to cultivate indigo, poppy and other such items that yielded a high market value for them but could be of no relief to a population starved of food. There was no backup of edible crops in case of a famine. The natural causes that had contributed to the drought were commonplace. It was the single-minded motive for profit that wrought such devastating consequences. No relief measure was provided for those affected. Rather, as mentioned above, taxation was increased to make up for any shortfall in revenue. What is even more ironic is that the East India Company generated higher profits in 1771 than they did in 1768. Although the starved populace of Bengal did not know it yet, this was just the first of umpteen famines, caused solely by the motive for profit, that were to scourge the country side. Although all these massacres were deadly in their own right, the deadliest one to occur after 1771 was in 1943, when three million people died and others resorted to eating grass and human flesh in order to survive. Winston Churchill, the hallowed British War prime minister who saved Europe from a monster like Hitler was disturbingly callous about the roaring famine that was swallowing Bengal’s population. He casually diverted the supplies of medical aid and food that was being dispatched to the starving victims to the already well supplied soldiers of Europe. When entreated upon, he said, “Famine or no famine, Indians will breed like rabbits.” The Delhi Government sent a telegram to him painting a picture of the horrible devastation and the number of people who had died. His only response was, “Then why hasn’t Gandhi died yet?" It is worthwhile to remember that the riches of the West were built on the graves of the East.

And his military was so unprepared for a long war in 1939 that it cannot be argued that Hitler wanted to embark on a lengthy crusade. GB and France didn't like the re-awakened Germany and wanted to bring Germany back down to the level of the early 1920's.

@FantasticBob7000 He didn't "envision his empire to last 1000 years". If you listen, he's saying that the legacy of the Island's protectors, i.e. the Battle of Britain pilots, would last 1000 years.

One problem with the speech "we shall defend our Island" I think...the fact Britain owned half the planet, had more of a role, than the island. LOL Apart from that, good speeches.

Roosevelt was going to pull out, and told Stalin as much, so perhaps we should blame FDR for Polands situation, let's do that because that actually makes more sense.. Stalin's army was far superior even after the horrific battles with Hitler, Britain could barely protect herself, and would have no room to tell Stalin anything. Britain was lucky to get out with her ass still attached.

Closer to Churchill then his bodyguard, the man he trusted with his life, you should also note I said autobiography which means it was written by the man himself. Also you mentioned leaves out everything that contradicts the public myth, the public myth is that Churchill was an alcoholic, so he isn't leaving out everything that contradicts the public myth. He is literally contradicting the public myth.

Churchill was not drunk, he did drink but was never drunk. The whole idea he was an alcoholic is a myth even his famous line "Churchill your drunk!" "Yes madam but in the morning i'll be sober but you'll still be ugly." He wasn't drunk, according to his bodyguard's autobiography he was just old and shaky when this took place. It is certainly true that he started each day with a brandy, but he filled the glass with water aswell and sipped it for hours.

Anyone who says that about Churchill is small minded. I think you should belt it up and show some respect to the man that defied a tyrant and inspired hope into millions across the world to say no to Hitler's Nazi regime Maybe educate yourself once in a while, you have no understanding of the man, if it weren't for men such as him we may all be speaking german right now.The man is an immortalised hero for good reason, and nothing you say will change that.

Why are the British acting as though they were involved in the war? My grandad, who is 88 and was involved in D-Day, has told me stories of how incompetent the British army were. The officers were dreadful and the weapons were out-dated. However, if it weren't for the English grit, we would have been defeated before the Americans came and supported us. I for one, am grateful for the Americans; but lets not forget, us English are extremely clever when it comes to warfare. We were the brains.

Motivational speeches have much to do with emotion during speech. Listen to the 3rd speech there, are you tone deaf? do you hear everything in monotone anyways? The speech itself is great, but the way it was read... didn't sound like a someone who had very much confidence in what he was writing (obviously we know this untrue). I'm convinced you just have a hearing problem.. Anyways no, the MOST idiotic comments are the ones like yours, no meat, no debate, nothing...

good lord, he probably is the least motivational speaker I've ever heard... sounds like he's keeling over and surrendering right then and there... I would say the people did more motivating themselves than this speech had ever done. They were already passionate about defending their country... This guy's speech seriously depressed me.. like made me sad... like he was reading a speech saying " we surrender... terrible times..."

I would like to say one thing. God bless Winston Churchill for being such a Hawk to the very end. We Americans are so grateful that he held firm and didn't a single Nazi march on the British Isles. That saved so many lives, British and American. As an American, I am proud to call you British our best Ally by far. The Battle of Britain was so close, and yet he lifted the spirit of the British people to fight on. You British are so badass it makes me wish I were British lol. Salute from the USA!

you obviously don't know history we never wanted to invade canada the reason we declared war was because britain was taking our sailors and forcing them into their navy we stopped that we only invaded canada because we needed to get rid of the british forces close to out borders also the american revolution we had help yes but most of the war was over here we had the most help from france and the best they did was send us their navy and give us a few more guns we did a lot more than you think

@1WildlandFirefighter The country that you say America used nuclear bombs on is Japan, presumably. Well, might I bring to your attention that Japan attacked America first, I mean of course the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour. The USA had done nothing to provoke Japan into doing this, meaning it was an unprovoked attack. Thousands died in Pearl Harbour, so what do you expect America to do? They RETALIATED. BTW, they did give the Japanese a warning before hand about the nukes.

@1WildlandFirefighter Even if what you are saying is true, at the end of the day, you cannot deny what the Nazis did to people in the second world war. Torture, humiliation and of course killing were all common place in German concentration camps. And you'll find that the reason for why part of Germany was made into Poland was because it was essentially Germany's fault for causing WW1 in the first place.As punishment for this, it was decided that Germany should give up land.

@BonnBerlinerVI BBC article: By the end of 1947, around 250,000 German POWs had been repatriated, but 24,000 decided to stay in Britain. Hans Siegfried Vallentin was one of these. Like many of the others, he'd been a keen supporter of Hitler. He'd even lied about his age to get into the Luftwaffe. He was only 17 when he was shot down and taken prisoner. But now, three years later, he didn't want to go back home.

@BonnBerlinerVI BTW, every time you have a go at Britain, just remember that the language you are speaking is actually from Britain, and not the country that your from. Also, my country's media is hardly "isolated", because you'll find that channels such as the BBC are global. Still based in Great Britain, but shown in other countries, oh and also we invented TV, and most other media items you see around you today. So, you're not only speaking MY language but also using tech made in MY country!

@islandinthesea Great Britain didn't have the capability to manufacture everything it needed, her factories were being destroyed by the Luftwaffe,and even at 100% their manufacturing base was only a fraction of the American capacity.Even the Soviet Union,the largest nation in the world, imported millions tons of supplies each year through 1945.Did Britain have an incredible will to fight?yes.

@areallygoodshoe Yes, I suppose we did fight Japan didn't we? Just not as much as Germany. And although, yes, Britain did need some US manufactured goods, I'd imagine that the majority of the goods would have been made right here in Britain, as it was much easier to do so. Why bother with crate loads of goods from the US when you can make the same stuff right here in Britain at a much cheaper price?

@deluxsound123 Let me tell you why India split into three different countries, because you clearly don't know why; Before the partition of Pakistan from India, there was a lot of fighting between Muslims and Hindus. So when the British left India, it was decided that in order to stop the fighting, there had to be a place where Muslims could live without Hindus, ensuring peace.So, the new state of Pakistan was formed, and is where many Muslims then went to after its creation in the 1940s.
