The British Empire bankrupted itself by going to war to defend Poland. Their empire collapsed and the remaining British leaders let themselves be invaded by the 3rd world.
Poland was given to the Soviet Union. Britain entered WW2 to defend Poland, then gave Poland away. https://t.co/3cfEdQTybA— Wall Street Mav (@WallStreetMav) October 3, 2026
Yes, and what an utter tragedy this was 😟
If only a single one of the 42 of the attempts on Hitler‘s life had succeeded (we can always dream, can’t we?) the loss of Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe to communism might well not have happened.
Among other wonderful things, i.e. that millions of people would not have had to die, and others would not have been expelled from their homes, works of art could have been saved, probably world communism would not have ascended to a position of power as it did in fact etc.
Britain entered WW2 to defend Poland
They entered WW2 to punish Germany for invading Poland, they didn’t defend Poland at all.
