allegedly, Churchill felt especially guilty about the Poles who fought for the allies during the war, but would now be ruled by Stalin.P

And Churchill did a lot to make that happen. Representatives of the Polish government in exile were not invited to the conferences at Tehran or Yalta, which determined their country's fate. Churchill agreed to setting Poland's eastern border at the Curzon Line, the territory that Hitler had given Stalin as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Many of the 200,000 Poles fighting in the British Army were from that region. And at Yalta and Potsdam, the Western Allies completed the handover of Poland to the Soviet Union.

Good leaders are always prepared for foreseeable contingencies. Poor leaders don’t even consider the foreseeable consequences of their own actions.

This was not an uncommon thought at the time; for anyone.
