Pretty sure if the Japanese didn't blockade India with their submarines the convoys of food would've still went to India. Why did Japan cause the famine?

Its fake reddit history. Just more bullshit blood libel against white people and is ultimately just a moral outrage lever to get white people to give more money to browns

Sometimes I wonder why I seem to be the only one who fails to see the connection between a brit making a decision 80 years ago and me, an american, having to capitulate to browns today.

Pure cope and projection. Food was taken out of there by the allies to feed their soldiers in WW2. Japan fought for India's independence from the eternal anglo.

Those were real though? Do you just surf reactionary Canadian chuds?

India was a massive fiod producer but colonila polixes always peiorized exports and profits over sustainability and feeding the farmers/workers.

It's always been a major problem in colonialism.

He was there was a grain suprplus and he was very upset that the british public were uncomfortable that Indian's were starving.
Brits voted him out the first chance they got the idea that he was loved by all is revisionism from his friends who bankrolled his degeneracy.

Nice strawman filthy Anglo. Did those British shipping containers food from Bengal to be shipped to the “Allies”? Did it contain opium for the Anglo to infect the world with? Or maybe it contained potatoes that were grown in Ireland? Did it contain materials needed to build concentration camps for Boers in South Africa? Or maybe it contained slaves (renamed to indentured servitude) to be shipped to Africa, the Caribbeans or Guyana?

So...Japan didn't send submarines to the I didn't ocean to harass British shipping or did they? It is a simple yes or no question.

Was that prior or after Britain declared war on Japan? It's a simple yes or no question.
>>
>>18427444
Japan controlled the area during the famine. If anyone is responsible, its them as the defacto dread sovereigns of the region. Blaming the dejure sovereign is completely dishonest bullshit.

>>18431486
First of all that isn't even a yes or no question you ESL retard.
Second Britian declared war on Japan AFTER Japan decided to sneak attack their colonies in the east.
I find it funny you still didn't even answer the question Lmao. Can you only answer questions with questions? Give me an answer. Did Japan have submarines blocking British shipping in the Indian Ocean? Yes or no?
Yes it was during war. See how easy it was for me to answer your question? Now answer mine

>>18431547
No Japan didn't control the area, it did threaten it though and cut of the Myanmar food supply

Its fake history propped up by seething lefties and indians.

There was half a dozen reasons why it happened, Churchill and muh racism not among them.

1. The previous years record cyclone fucked the crops.

2. Scorched earth policy from the retreating allied forces denied the ability to get what little food there was to where it was needed.

3. Indian racism. Almost all the rice producers in india were from what you would call middle class families and they considered the people that needed the help beneath them for caste reasons. (this is a huge one that gets completely skipped by pajeets.

4. Administrative incompetence. Not realizing the scale until it was too late.

5. Military prioritization. States the obvious.

6. Lack of understanding. What relief that was initially sent was wheat based and made everyone (who had lived entire lives on a rice based diet) extremely sick and exasperated things.

Pic related is a great read and has an entire chapter that covers it in depth. The entire thing is one giant clusterfuck, militarily and politically.

Spot on.

I think the screeching about India (one man is rarely responsible for such large scale shit) ironically covers up his blunders in Ireland, which are very often overlooked.

There were few in Britain more responsible for the total failure to respond to the Irish Revolution than him.

Holy whataboutism lmao

The primary cause of the Bengal famine was Japanese submarines and aircraft in the Bay of Bengal, and at one point surface craft, and the Japanese invasion of Burma and the rice fields, the principle source of calories for Bengal. Everything else was Britain's reaction to it. The idea of diverting state of the art destroyer squadrons and naval aircraft capable of contending with Japanese subs to the Bay of Bengal to protect the large number of grain convoys necessary, all while they were struggling in Battle of the Atlantic, would have not been supported by Churchill's leading strategists. Churchill himself said

>"The only thing that really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril. I was even more anxious about this battle than I had been about the glorious air fight called the ' Battle of Britain '."

Referring to the Battle of the Atlantic of course not the Bay of Bengal. Britain's industry and war effort was on the brink of collapse in 1941 and to send several squadrons away when the Germans might have some new technology up their sleave about to given them an advantage in the Atlantic was the wrong move in any strategic calculation. They were forced into this decision by the Japanese and the Germans. It was little different morally speaking from deciding to conscript millions of young men to fight in the war, since you are shifting the burden from one group of people to another.

Of course Indian nationalists won't listen to any of this or any of the nuances or facts or details. Churchill also said, referring to Mahatma Gandhi.

>"He ought to be.. trampled on by an enormous elephant"

They are obviously not fans of him. Of course, as usual, the reality is more complicated than the memes. They won't tell you that Gandhi forced little girls to sleep with him.
