There is a famous line attributed to Churchill, ‘History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.’..which apparently was a paraphrased version of ‘”For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all Parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history”

Winston Churchill’s Wartime Document Showing His Plans to Carve up Europe With Stalin Goes on Display

The so-called ‘naughty document’ on which Winston Churchill carved up Europe with Josef Stalin is set to go on public display for the first time. Britain’s wartime leader made the secret pact with Moscow in 1944 as the Allies closed in on victory over Nazi Germany. The sheet of paper showed the percentages of Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia which would be under Soviet or British control. It is going on display at London’s National Archives in an exhibition called Britain’s Cold War Revealed … The phrase ‘naughty document’ was coined by Churchill himself, who recognised that it could come over as ‘callous’. Churchill said his American allies would be ‘shocked if they saw how crudely he had put it’ … ‘It’s potentially incredibly significant – the fate of millions being decided with the stroke of a pen as a result of a casual meeting.’

Time to Foreclose on the Churchill Cult

… As First Lord of the Admiralty [during the First World War], he imposed on Imperial Germany a starvation blockade that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. This blockade wasn’t lifted until several months after the hostilities had ended. In the Second World War Churchill supported the terror bombing of German cities, at a time when these population centers could no longer defend themselves and when the war was all but lost … At Yalta the prime minister worked to preserve the British Empire by shamelessly praising Stalin and the Soviet Empire … Throughout his life, he stood for the British Empire, British independence, and an “anti-socialist vision of England.” In the end, Churchill watched all three vanish.
