The man was a bloodthirsty tyrant who had guillotined thousands of innocent people.”: That is the story developed by his enemies and the reasons they gave to justify their actions.

“Was it us who stirred up India or Indochina? You bear the responsibility for losing your empires, we had no hand in that. We didn't stand to gain anything from your losses.” I don’t know for India but for Indochina I have some lights and, err, yes, USA wanted to make the pacific a big Mare Nostrum (and succeeded). Yes, USA did support Vietminh against the French until Korean War (Major Patty’s mission). As the matter of losing our Empires, that was a good thing, even if my father was one of the soldiers fighting to keep it.

“so russia wouldnt take it all” Not in WW1. Fear of Communism, not really at that time…
