When Stalin and Hitler divided Poland in 1939, once again erasing it from the map of Europe, the line separating Soviet and Nazi zones of occupation was partly along and partly to the west of the Curzon Line. Stalin insisted throughout his wartime meetings with Churchill and Roosevelt that the Curzon Line was to be the border between Poland and the Soviet Union, not the older frontier according to the peace treaty of 1921.
It was even worse, according to the illegal Curzon Line, city of Lvov, populated by vast majority of Poles, was on the Polish side but Stalin seeing FDRs and Churchills completely passive behavior took even Lvov and ignored own proposition of the Curzon line.

FDR was one of our most incompetent Presidents. And the time of his administration had to be THE all time low in terms of the political intelligence quotient of the majority of the US population. That they kept reelecting the fool attests to a particularly dark and dumb chapter in our history. Shameful, utterly shameful.
