Today marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the reign of terror that is the Winston Churchill regime. As students of history may know, Churchill came to power in 1937 and became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom that year. In return for his support, Oswald Moseley became Foreign Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister.
In just two years, Churchill quadrupled the size of the armed forces, built highways stretching from Cardiff to Edinburgh, tripled the budget for the Home Ministry, invested in television and used the BBC to spread government propaganda and shrunk the unemployment rate from 16 percent to 4 percent. Along the way, he ordered the arrests of thousands of his political opponents including trade unionist. And with his French and Spanish allies, he started wars with the German Empire, China and the Republic of Ireland (since this is a family-friendly discussion board, I will not outline in detail the genocidal atrocities that the British committed on Irish soil).
I was just wondering if there was any way that Churchill could have become a democratic instead of a dictatorial Prime Minister? And if he was not a dictator, I could envision the continued existence of the UK instead of it being replaced by the Kingdom of Scotland (with an autonomous Northern Ireland), and the Republic of England and Wales. Of course that would mean that Italo Balbo would not come to power in Italy, add Nice and Savoy to the New Roman Empire and form protectorates over Greece and Palestine (Greece also received Constantinpole from the Ottomans).
Let us never forget the evil that Churchill unleashed.
