11 million people were not starved, the figure is ~3million. Some of the contrubuting factors include British policies to export food for the war effort, cyclones destroying yields and destruction of aid efforts by the axis powers. [Link]

Needed Note. Notes clearly show that context is needed, if you want to call out colonialism without any facts do it in the reply section.

NN Citing the "Churhill project" twice and a british website that openly wants to "rewrite" history is not good academic integrity. Actual academia clearly blame England for the famine. [Link]
