In 1914, Churchill turned a friend (the Ottoman Empire) into an enemy by withholding two British built, Ottoman battleships that were about to be handed over to Turkey. The cost had been raised by Turkish public subscription. He next initiated an attack on that new enemy in the Dardanelles, in 1915, against advice and without, to begin with, the support of Minister of War Kitchener, lost catastrophically with the foolish Gallipoli campaign.
What incompetence by Churchill. An incompetent murderer of his own armed forces! What an idiot.
