Churchill didn't attention nigh British lives, or anyone's lives for that matter, all live on cared nigh was the British Empire which had produced the magnificent wealth of the British aristocracy.
Unfortunately at that topographic point was a lot inwards Churchill’s life that was non specially heroic—it’s striking that our electrical flow conservative institution is willing to “contextualize” away “bigoted” statements made past times Churchill, acre ranting against Churchill contemporary H.L. Mencken, when he made his own. But hence Mencken supposedly took the incorrect side inwards World War One, inwards which he was effusively pro-German, acre Churchill did everything inwards his ability to poisonous substance Anglo-German relations earlier that cataclysm, which he regarded equally inevitable. This came later Churchill helped foment the Boer War inwards South Africa, which enabled the British Empire to swallow upwardly the Transvaal as well as other parts of South Africa.
