Churchill had little to do with it, other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops who were fighting Nazis at the time.

The provincial government never formally declared a state of famine, and its humanitarian aid was ineffective through the worst months of the crisis. It attempted to fix the price of rice paddy through price controls which resulted in a black market which encouraged sellers to withhold stocks, leading to hyperinflation from speculation and hoarding after controls were abandoned. Aid increased significantly when the British Indian Army took control of funding in October 1943
I don’t care what Stalin did, I’m talking about Churchill and his brutal massacre of the Greek Partisans that had literally just played a pivotal role in defeating the Nazis on the isles.
They were not a threat to Britain at all. They were allies, they were part of the allied forces as well as literal allies in battle, but “communism bad” so gotta gun them down in the streets.

That is a choice he made, not something that just happened, and it resulted in at least a million (likely many more) civilian deaths in their own territory.
The provincial government
Gee, I wonder who put the provincial government in charge in a British colony? 🙄

Oh, are we gonna get into a pissing contest about which system of government has killed more people?
No, I was literally just wondering if you had an explanation for it.
People were asking why Churchill was bad. This is a bad thing he did. So unless there is some hidden justification for it, if seems pretty pertinent
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, until the enemy is defeated.
There was no way Churchill was going to allow a Soviet base there. It would have been a massive risk to shipping channels and defence.
Did you even read the article?
Fuck you for defending this shit. You can’t even say that the guy did a fucked up thing? Really?
Do you know what Stalin did with all the war heroes when they got back from war? Killed the fucking lot because he was scared they’d revolt.
Churchill’s actions no doubt had negative effects, but the net effect was good.

Churchill didn’t massacre anyone you plank. It was the Greek police. Read your own fucking source.
And yes, communism is bad, it’s failed in every single country that’s tried it with 10s of millions of deaths.
As Churchill said, Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others

And why did he make that choice?
