It was in Algiers that the beginning of Powell's dislike of the United States was planted.
After talking with some senior American officials, he became convinced that one of America's main war aims was to destroy the British Empire.
Writing home on 16 February 1943, Powell stated: " I see growing on the horizon the greater peril than Germany or Japan ever were ... our terrible enemy, America ...." Powell's conviction of the anti-British attitude of the Americans continued during the war.
Powell cut out and retained all his life an article from the New Statesman newspaper of 13 November 1943, in which the American Clare Boothe Luce said in a speech that Indian independence would mean that the " USA will really have won the greatest war in the world for democracy ".
