4. If you could go back in time and be someone in history, who would you choose to be? Why?

If i could go back and be anybody in history i would choose to be the britsh prime minster from 1940-1945 Winston Churchill. Churchill became the prime minister of great britain shortly after the eruption of world war two. He replaced Neville Chamberline as prime minister. Churchill as well commanded most of britains military forces during the second world war. I choose to be Winston Churchill if i went back to time because he had a very important role in the war in europe against the nazis and the fascist. I believe that he had oppurutnities to win the war before the fall of france in 1940. if there was a window of oppurunity to defeat the germans before their occupation of france, if i was winston churchill id take the oppurunity and fight to keep france free from nazi control. That way france and britain would work together during the war to protect the nations of western europe from nazi control and tyranny. and if the soviets entered the war fighting against the axis as well then germany could be surrounded from the west by the british and the french and surrounded from the east by the soviets. This way World War two wouldnt be as gruesome as it was in history and the u.s wouldnt need any involvement. As well germany wouldnt need as many restrictions as it had during history and there would be no cold war neither not a war against communism. Nor any proxy war that took place during the cold war era. But i wouldnt know how society would be if germany was defeated before u.s involvement, might have been better or worse from the society we live in today. But if I was Winston Churchill id take the chance to keep france free from nazi control
