The dissolution of the British Empire is actually a story of subterfuge and tremendous violence. It’s a lot of different stories happening all over the world all at once with centuries of context, so for my own convenience I’m going to commit a cardinal sin and oversimplify all of this through the lens of one of the imperialists who watched over it all. A man beloved by many as a national hero, and seen by many others as the embodiment of imperialism’s sins. Please welcome, Mr. Winston Churchill.
