1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Even had Hitler come West after 
crushing Stalin's. 

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Soviet Union. 
How could it have been worse 

3
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:08,500
than it was for the Jews or the 
gypsies, or the Slavs, or the 

4
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,000
Christians tens of millions of 
whom would die and 100 million 

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
of whom would end up slaves. 
In an Empire. 

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,400
That was the most brutal and 
barbaric. 

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,600
Enemy Christianity had ever 
known. 

8
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,100
Had Britain, not given the war 
guarantee and not declared war 

9
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:24,400
over Poland. 
Western Europe, might have 

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,700
avoided war altogether, and was 
the war worth it. 

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,800
Let us give the last word. 
To Winston, Churchill, three 

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,700
years after the victory. 
He wrote in the Gathering storm.

13
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,100
The human tragedy reaches its 
climax in the fact that after 

14
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:44,200
all the exertion 's and 
sacrifices of hundreds of 

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,700
millions of people, and of the 
victories of the righteous cause

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
we have still not found peace or
security and we lie in the grip 

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,600
of even worse perils. 
Then those we have surmounted 

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,000
What did Churchill mean by even 
worse? 

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,400
Perils than Nazism and Hitler? 
He meant stalinism and Stalin, a

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,500
mass murderer, whose victims, 
exceeded. 

21
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:12,600
Even those of Hitler by 1948. 
All of Stalin's promises about 

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,300
elections had been broken, and 
he was crushing all opposition 

23
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,000
to communist tyranny in the 11 
countries. 

24
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,100
Now in his grip, including 
Czechoslovakia, for which 

25
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:26,000
Churchill had wanted to go to 
war and Poland for which 

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,900
Churchill had demanded Britain. 
Go to war. 

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,400
If the West faced even worse 
perils in 1948, then in 1939 

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,100
what had it all been for? 
Yes, Hitler was dead and Nazism 

29
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:40,000
exterminated. 
But at a cost of 50 million 

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,900
lives and Britain had lost 
400,000 men and was broken and 

31
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,700
bankrupt. 
The next thing that Patrick 

32
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:52,400
Buchanan addresses is what was 
the war really about? 

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,200
He says to British Statesman 
maintaining a balance of power 

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,300
was Dogma in 38, Lord 
Londonderry back from a meeting 

35
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:06,300
with Hitler wrote Churchill. 
I should like to get out of your

36
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,500
mind. 
What appears to be strong 

37
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:12,300
anti-german Obsession, Churchill
replied, that London to Derry 

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,700
was mistaken. 
In supposing that I have an anti

39
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:19,400
German Obsession and went on to 
explain British policy for 400 

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,100
years has been to oppose the 
strongest power in Europe by 

41
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:26,100
weaving together, a combination 
of other countries, strong 

42
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:29,400
enough to face the bully. 
Sometimes it is a pain, 

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,100
sometimes the French monarchy, 
sometimes the French Empire 

44
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:36,200
sometimes Germany. 
I have no doubt about who it is 

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,400
now, but if France set up to 
claim the overlordship of 

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Europe, I should equally 
Endeavor to oppose them. 

47
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:45,000
It is just through the 
centuries. 

48
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:49,500
We have kept our liberties and 
maintained our life and power 

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,700
twice. 
This policy would bring Britain 

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,700
into war with Germany until by 
1945. 

51
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,900
Britain was too weak. 
You to play the role any longer.

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,500
She would lose her Empire 
because of what, Lord Salisbury 

53
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:08,400
had said in 1877 was the 
Communist Terror in politics 

54
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:12,300
sticking to the carcass of dead 
policies. 

55
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:15,900
Why did Britain declared war on 
Germany? 

56
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:17,600
Twice? 
As we shall see. 

57
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:21,200
Neither the Kaiser nor Hitler 
sought to destroy Britain or her

58
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,500
Empire. 
Both admired, what Britain had 

59
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,200
built both sought an alliance 
with England? 

60
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,300
The Kaiser was the eldest 
grandson of Queen Victoria. 

61
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,800
Thus, The crucial question, were
these two devastating Wars, 

62
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:39,200
Britain declared on Germany Wars
of necessity or Wars of choice. 

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,600
First. 
We have the United Kingdom, 

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,300
declaration of war. 
Germany in 1914, Britain 

65
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,900
declared war on Germany on the 
4th of August 1914. 

66
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:52,900
The Declaration was a result of 
German refusal to remove troops 

67
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:57,100
from neutral Belgium in 1839. 
The United Kingdom, France and 

68
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:00,900
Prussia, the predecessor of the 
German Empire had signed the 

69
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,400
Treaty of London, which 
guaranteed Belgium's 

70
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,500
sovereignty. 
The United Kingdom, declaration 

71
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,300
of war on Germany. 1939 
consisted of Neville. 

72
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:13,900
Chamberlain's speech on 
September 3rd in which he said 

73
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:16,500
this morning, the British 
Ambassador in Berlin handed the 

74
00:04:16,507 --> 00:04:19,100
German government, a final note 
stating that unless we heard 

75
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:21,800
from them by 11:00 that they 
were prepared at once to 

76
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,000
withdraw their troops from 
Poland, a state of War would 

77
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
exist between us. 
I have to tell you now that no 

78
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,700
such undertaking has been 
received and that consequently 

79
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,200
this country is at war with 
Germany. 

80
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,600
So the war over polish 
Independence. 

81
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:40,400
Left Poland under the Soviet 
Empire, you can and goes on to 

82
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,800
say yet in his Memoir David 
Lloyd. 

83
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,900
George who led Britain to 
victory in World War One wrote. 

84
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:50,300
We all blundered in to war in 
his Memoirs Churchill who led 

85
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,800
Britain to victory in World War 
Two wrote. 

86
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,300
One day. 
President Roosevelt told me he 

87
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:58,200
was asking publicly for 
suggestions about what the war 

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,300
should be called. 
I said at once the unnecessary 

89
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,600
War, there never was a war more 
easy to stop. 

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,300
But that which has just wrecked,
what was left of the world from 

91
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:14,400
the previous struggle, Buchanan 
goes on to discuss, the Soviet 

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,000
Union after the second world 
war, while Stalin lost millions 

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,900
of soldiers and civilians and 
suffered Devastation Stalin 

94
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,600
emerged from the war. 
As the most powerful Tsar in 

95
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,000
history with a red Army 
occupying Berlin, Vienna and 

96
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,900
Prague, in the aftermath 
communist, party's loyal to 

97
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,500
Stalin would Vie for power and 
Paris, and Rome and communist 

98
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,000
revolutionaries. 
Help tear down the empires of 

99
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,300
the West in 1949 Stalin, would 
treble. 

100
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,900
The subject peoples of Communism
as China. 

101
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:47,200
Fell to the armies of mouse, a 
tongue converting, America's 

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,500
wartime Ally and to Stalin's 
partner in World Conquest in 

103
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:56,600
1949 to Stalin scientists with 
stolen American Technology 

104
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,400
exploded and atomic bomb for 
almost all other nations. 

105
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:04,700
And people of Europe, the war 
would prove more. 

106
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,500
More a disaster than a Triumph. 
Finally Buchanan. 

107
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,700
Discusses Britain. 
After the second world war, from

108
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:16,200
Norway to France, to Greece to 
Crete to Libya, Britain lost 

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,200
every battle with the Germans 
until El Alamein in 1942. 

110
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,800
She would end the war with four 
hundred thousand dead and a 

111
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,400
pirate Victory and never again 
be great. 

112
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,700
Churchill had devoted his life 
to three causes the preservation

113
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,600
of the Empire keeping socialism 
at Bay. 

114
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:39,400
And preventing any hostile power
from dominating Europe by July 

115
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,200
of 1945. 
All three had been lost and 

116
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,100
Churchill dismissed by the 
people. 

117
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,300
He had led to Victory. 
I'd like to end with a quote 

118
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:51,400
from the libertarian party of 
New Hampshire. 

119
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,800
There's still people out there 
calling John McCain, a great man

120
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000
and a hero. 
No, sorry. 

121
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,300
Meghan McCain. 
We understand he's your father 

122
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:04,700
and all but that blood-soaked 
monster didn't see a country on 

123
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:07,200
the The map. 
He didn't want to invade Wars, 

124
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,200
don't make great men. 
Great Men, prevent Wars. 

125
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,300
Thank you for watching Keith 
Knight. 

126
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:14,900
Don't tread on anyone and the 
libertarian Institute.
