Can't speak for others, but for me British imperialism was as wrong as any other, just like with all the world's colonial empires at the time. (Of course, Germany had had their own colonial empire before WW1 too, they just lost it.) Which does not lessen the magnitude of the UK's contribution in the fight against fascism. I guess it's a matter of degree, the British, French, Dutch, etc. colonial empires were one kind of evil, but Hitler's mechanized genocide took that evil to the next level.

And Churchill was an old-school imperialist and, to me, a very unlikeable individual for his views on imperialism, Indians, the Bengal Famine, etc. And also a bit of a hypocrite for being so committed to preserving the British Empire while fighting the Nazis. But at the same time he was admirable for leading his country in the struggle against Nazism. Most people (except maybe Hitler) aren't pure good or pure evil, it's possible to agree with them on some things and disagree with them on other things. Basically, the Allies as a whole were far from perfect, but compared to the Axis they were by far the lesser evil, especially when the Soviets are treated as a separate faction, HoI-style. And I'm saying that as someone from a former colony of an Allied power.

I really can't speak about this sub's general stance on British imperialism. How do we feel about defending British imperialism, anyway?
