    The Falklands War was probably the only time in history that the British were unequivocally in the right.

      Fighting against the Nazis was pretty decent, too, even though they pissed away a number of opportunities to avoid the war in the first place.

          Apparently instead of having the Nuremberg Trials they just wanted to shoot Nazi leadership. Potentially that could have led to more effective de-Nazification, and it's not as if Nuremberg set any worthwhile precedents anyway. They definitely don't deserve credit for something that didn't happen or the benefit of the doubt (on anything, really), but it's an interesting counterfactual to consider.
