The White Book of Capitalism: England

'The moment was apt for business, so I said "Let us settle about our affairs in the Balkans. Your armies are in Rumania and Bulgaria. We have interests, missions and agents there. Don't let us get at cross-purposes in small ways. So far as Britain and Russia are concerned, how would it do for you to have ninety per cent predominance in Rumania, for us to have ninety per cent of the say in Greece, and go fifty-fifty about Yugoslavia?.... At length I said, "might it not be thought rather cynical if it seemed we had disposed of these issues, so fateful to millions of people, in such an off-hand manner? Let us burn the paper". "No, you keep it" said Stalin.'

Ireland: (1845-50) 1 million died from starvation, initially set off by a blight on the potato crop, but allowed to accumulate for years. Around 1.5 million immigrated to survive the mass starvation. England made no efforts whatever to save the starving millions while food was being exported from Ireland.
