@Kang_Kong3 @Punished_Potatus @BroDrillard *Any leader who's object was not a desirous victory for their own country* Which is the rub. It's not like Denmark in the Napoleonic wars, there was no continental system where being blocked from the Baltic risked the last market for British trade, the existential threat was prosecuting the war.

@Kang_Kong3 @Punished_Potatus @BroDrillard Invasion could have been avoided by accepting the numerous white peace proposals from Germany. This is a critique of Churchills character and motivation, not the strategic soundness of the action. It was more important to Churchill to gut not only the British Empire, but any ability France had to assert itself internationally as well, in the pursuit of destroying Europe for his benefactors. We're talking about a guy who Invited terror bombing on British civilians just to manufacture fervour in an extremely unpopular war that had already lost any chance of gaining a positive outcome for Britain even in victory.
