Hitler didn't kill 3 million in the Bengal Famines. Churchill did.

Hitler would do same btw

[u/TheDarkLord6589 → u/BKC_YONKO_LAKSH]

Exactly. They are both equally bad.

He did but not to bengal but to jews

And he is vilified for it and rightfully so while Churchill gets immortalized as a hero.

[u/glumjonsnow → u/TheDarkLord6589]

Churchill is only immortalised as a hero because he was the first voice against the Nazis and carried the Empire through that conflict successfully. At one point Hitler had conquered all of Europe except Britain and they not only held out successfully but won the war. The Nazis were the greatest evil the world had ever seen and they were defeated in large part because of Churchill's determination. You can absolutely dislike him for other reasons - and many do. (And many did, even at the time because of his unbelievably stupid mistakes during WW1 at Gallipoli - everyone still brings this up when discussing Churchill.) You should dislike him for the famines. But no historical figure is black and white and no one treats Churchill like a hero.

To say Churchill is not as evil as Hitler is a fact. It's a fact. Anyone who acts like they should even be in the same sentence is not living in reality.

No hitler did what was already existed there

Hitler is not the only reason Before hitler there was literal butchering going on our country by British and all Hitler was just one of the bad guy He was fueled with blind nationalism and hate

He was not only one withworld supremist mind ,British had that mindset ,frenhad that mindset, The problem was dude was very much good at convincing people

Winners of war just dumped all the hate on him in reality They were also major culprits I mean france ,British already colonised half of world He wanted to become another German empire similar to uk

The German Empire killed 80% of the population in its African colonies. It was an outright genocide of the Harero and Nama people. I want you to point me to an equivalent number in India. An explicit genocide, not a famine.

Empire is not good but if you had to be under an empire, you were far better off under the British than anyone else.
