I feel like Alexander is only European in retrospect thanks to the Greco-Roman legacy. Augustus, on the other hand.

And I picked Churchill because of role he played in defeating the greatest negative vision of European unity, and because he understood that treaties are not just scraps of paper, but dire responsibilities. Whatever else you can accuse him of, he took the accord Britain signed with Poland and France more seriously than probably any other comparable British politician in 1939-40 would have.

A very romantic Churchill

It wasn't even Churchill who got us into the war though and he barely outlasted it.

since i started dating a Brit I've noticed how all non-Brits have a skewed and unfair view of Chamberlain

He was a weird patrician rear end in a top hat but he basically did the right thing, trying to get peace while frantically rearming the whole time.

Did IRA have good access to SAMs and was there ever attempted shootdowns of brit choppers? If not, why not?

They shot down a gazelle in 1990

E: apparently that was done with a machinegun. No deaths.

Wiki also says the IRA once shot down a helicopter with a mortar, which is, uhh, really good or bad luck depending on your point of view.
