Und ich habe in den Tränchen des Weltkriegs gesorgt. Und ich habe das Spiel gespielt. So he's personally quite arrogant, but at the same time he knows. He's just about clever enough to know that he has to subordinate all that to trying to woo the Americans and get them into this war.

Yeah, and their first wartime meeting took place in August 1941. And again, you can see the sort of power differential here, because Churchill jumps on a battleship and crosses the Atlantic. You know, the Battle of the Atlantic is raging at the moment. And they go to Newfoundland. And so it's a short hop up from FDR's native New York City. But it's a trek for a British Prime Minister to make.

And I don't think he'd have made it unless he needed to. And they party. You know what, they... Und Churchill ist sehr bewegt von diesem Meeting, weil er eine kraftvolle Erinnerung bekommt, dass dies zwei englischsprachige Empires sind, zwei englischsprachige Länder. Sie haben so viel zusammen. Sie haben Bonds von Kindheit, sie haben Bonds von Religion.

Es gibt einen großen religiösen, protestantischen religiösen Service auf dem Deck eines der Kriegsschiffe und die Amerikaner kommen und es gibt einen gemeinsamen Service. Du weißt, es gibt hier viel zusammen. Und Churchill erlaubt sich, zu hoffen, dass das bedeutet, dass The Americans inevitably will come down on the side of the Brits in this great global struggle and back the Brits.

And to a certain extent it's true that that kinship did really matter in the 20th century between the Brits and the Americans. So they also create the Atlantic Charter, which is a vision for a post-war order. Now, Churchill agrees, there will be language in there about self-determination. The peoples around the world will be able to choose their own form of government.

That includes people in current British colonies. So it shows how much peace prepared to compromise to get FDR on board and to show the rest of the world that the British and Americans are forming a kind of axis here, an alliance.

Yeah, he receives news of Pearl Harbor. And by the way, people forget, the same day as Pearl Harbor, in fact, I think a couple of hours before, the Japanese attacked the British Empire in Asia as well. So Britain... Churchill wächst auf, um zu finden, dass Pearl Harbor passiert, aber er findet auch heraus, dass der britische Empire bereits unter Strain, mit Italien und Deutschland, kämpft.
