Churchill was pretty much a gigantic douche. There's a book that showed he was planning to make a separate peace treaty with Mussolini and even sent him flattering letters, but then when it was clear that Italy was going to surrender he sent assassins posed as Italian communists to kill him when he thought the stuff he sent Mussolini would come back to bite him.
He also wanted China's KMT leader Chiang Kai-shek to take on the Japanese all by himself and did as much as possible to redirect American aid from China to his interests in Burma and other parts of the globe. Yea he helped against Hitler, but the guy was certainly a war monger.
