Back in August 1942, In the midst of World War II, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin had a late-night meeting. Their main plan? To enjoy lots of wine, as new records from the British National Archives tel. Before this, they talked about important stuff like invading North Africa and opening up a new front in Europe, but things got tense when Churchill said the invasion might not happen. To make things better, Churchill suggested a late-night hangout in Stalin's private room. There, they had a big feast with lots of food and many wine bottles. Then-Secretary of State for foreign affairs for the UK, Sir Alexander Cadogan, who was there, said everyone was having a great time until 3 in the morning. The friendship between the UK, the U.S., and the Soviet Union was really important in beating Nazi Germany, even though sometimes they didn't agree.
