Episode notes
In Winston Churchill's formative years, his nanny, Elizabeth Everest, provided him with love and affection that he did not receive from his parents. Another influential figure was Bert Cochran, an American politician and his mother's lover, who became a father figure to him. As a Victorian aristocrat, Churchill strongly believed in the British Empire's positive impact on civilization, although this viewpoint is no longer accepted today. The Victorian values instilled in him included a sense of racial superiority and a duty to help others due to his privileged position at the top of society's hierarchy.
