In 1943, Britain imposed a disgusting famine in the Bengal region of India. Starvation and disease took more than three million lives, as the British kept exporting food from the region despite the terrible conditions of the region, with government officials showing complete disregard for the deaths of the locals. Churchill himself said "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion" or that sending relief support during the famine wouldn't do anything because they were "breeding like rabbits".

In this day and age we often forget about the deaths caused by western capitalist nations in other parts of the world, but this is extremely unfair to the victims of these tragedies. Thank you for reading.
