Did your professor ask you to look at the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact from the Poland point of view, too?

Yes. But not specifically about the Pact, which the Poles didn’t even know about until it was too late.

Poor Poland was caught between two monsters. The Poles had very little maneuvering room, diplomatically or otherwise.

Oh, and one more thing. This is where Pat Buchanan lost me. Buchanan argues that the West should have just given Poland to Hitler. No need for war.

I find that belief disgusting.

Don't forget the Piłsudski-Hitler Pact, since we're doing "pacts" today.

Next we can do Kellogg-Briand....

Or maybe have read:

Rossoliński-Liebe, Grzegorz (2014). Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist : Fascism, Genocide, and Cult. Ibidem-Verlag.

The world's a mess, the world's history more complex than a snapshot. Multi-sided. Mulitvalent, borrowing a word from chemistry.
