> - Used gas against Iraqis
Proposed the use of tear gas. Didn't carry it out.
> - Exacerbated the Bengal famine
Its more the japanese cutting off the rice supply, However I have some sympathy with exacerbate.
> - Used anthrax bombs against Nazi Germany
No. Planned to use it in retaliation. The Nazis were keen to avoid using chemical weapons because they were aware that the british had a far greater capacity to create and deploy them compared to the Nazis. (well in 1939-42)
There are very real faults we can lay at churchill's career.
1) the bombing campaign. lots of "dehoming" (ie attacking civilians instead of industrial targets)
2) dresden
3) hamburg
4) fucking up Galipoli
- srean 6y agoGiven that Bengal was a traditional grain overproduction / surplus state, it seems odd that reserves needed replenishing from Japan unless it had been stripped in the first place
