There ain't no party like a west coast party, but British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was anxious to remind his American BFFs that there were quite a few activities taking place across from the U.S.'s east coast as well.

Big activities, like Hitler and Nazis and stuff.

And while Churchill was super bummed that Japan decided to go all Angry Attack Mode on Pearl Harbor and the rest of the Pacific islands (including some British ones), he was kind of stoked that the U.S. would finally be officially participating in World War II.

For one, yay American money and military might?

For two, now Winston and bestie FDR could get more hang-out time while chatting about the state of affairs in their bestie countries.

Read all about it here, and get a nice dose of the British Bulldog's famous oratorical skill (definitely a far cry from FDR's twenty-six terse sentences in the Pearl Harbor Address!) while taking it all in.
