Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Churchill actually go it alone against Hitler for a time prior to America’s entry into WWII?

Against a great deal of pressure not to. Many in the British government were pushing for a conditional surrender.

Not only did Churchill “go it alone”, he did so with politcal pressure of all stripes (the commies and socialists changed their tune, however, when the Soviet Union was attacked), opportunistic nationalists (Indian, Egyptian, etc) seeking the dismantling of the British Empire(Indians eventually constituted the largest, national contingent of the British armed forces), and home-grown British Nazis (Mosley’s Blackshirts) tugging public opinion, and government attention, in various directions.

‘Against a great deal of pressure not to. Many in the British government were pushing for a conditional surrender.’

I’d really love to see a link to this if you have one, though I doubt you have unless it was in a parallel world!
