What are the immediate implications of a Churchill victory in 1945 on the evolution of the British Empire? Specifically on:
India
My own gut feeling is that Churchill will try to renege on the promise of Indian independence. However, is it possible to - peacefully, or relatively peacefully - prolong British rule with a later date of departure? Is it possible that Partition looks different in such a scenario? Is it possible that Partition is avoided entirely at this eleventh hour?
Palestine
How does Churchill balance his personal bias in favour of the Jewish with British interests in the Middle East? Does Churchill accept the Harrison Report?
The Dominions
How do Britain's relationships change with the Dominions, if at all?
