sort of the opposite...churchills push for bringing England into WWI, his moves, pushed by the US, to shrink the royal Navy, his lapse of the British/Japanese treaty which isolated Japan, etc. It does not paint a nice picture of Churchill. Hindshight is 20/20, but Churchill made a lot of bad moves that could have prevented, if not lessened the impact of the wars.
