During World War II in the 20th century, Britain and the Soviet Union reconciled. British Prime Minister Churchill extended this sentence and said that there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

A famous saying from the British during World War II: "We have no eternal enemies and no eternal friends. Our mission is to fight for our interests." Before World War II , capitalist countries such as Britain and the United States have always been enemies of the emerging Soviet socialism. After the outbreak of World War II, fascist countries such as Germany, Italy, and Japan invaded everywhere and became the enemies of people all over the world.

Capitalist countries such as Britain and the United States need to turn enemies into friends with the Soviet Union, form an alliance, and jointly fight against fascist countries. Britain, as one of the initiators of the World Anti-Fascist Alliance, said this in a speech.
