Quote from just21:
What is obscene about pointing out, that if it were not for Winston Churchill, any other politician who was British Prime Minister at the time e.g Lord Halifax, would have taken Hitler's deal? Britain kept her empire, Hitler kept continental Europe. Would have saved a lot of British lives and money. The world would be a different place today. 60% of the worlds population live in democracy today because of that decision, a great jump from the 1914 figure of twelve democratic countries.
