Though Winston Churchill has been piled with praise by the established order, I think Churchill was a catastrophe - a barbaric war-loving incompetent.
His "achievements":

Churchill Spurred the Decline of the West
His "achievements":
- He helped push the UK into WW I. Without UK involvement the war would have ended quickly.
- He bears responsibility for the Gallipoli disaster.
- He instituted the hunger blockade of Germany which killed 100s of 1000s.
- He supported gas attacks on Iraqi civilians.
- His stupid decision to return the UK to the gold standard helped bring about the Great Depression.
- He supported the foolish war guarantee to Poland. Poland was not saved, only Stalin benefited.
- He is responsible for the debacle of the Norway invasion.
- His policy of terror bombing in WW II led to additional 100s of 1000s of deaths.
- Churchill's forced repatriation of refugees after WW II condemned millions to servitude and death.
- Churchill also deserves blame for the Bengal famine which killed 1-3 million.
