Churchill emphasizes shared history to strengthen Anglo-American relations.

Evidence

Churchill’s sense of his nation’s history meant that he wanted A History of the English-Speaking Peoples (HESP), to bring a sense of origins to the people of the British Empire and Dominions and especially, to the one that got away, the United States. … In the latter example, Churchill believed HESP would stress the common heritage of Great Britain and the United States of America as a means of enhancing the friendship of the two nations. — Winston Churchill, A History of the English-Speaking…, 20
