Was Poland renowned for its interventionism prior to being invaded by Germany?

Well not in the last 400 years or so at least. But as Poland is not a member of this union of states I don't care what their foreign policy was. As long as it did not threaten our borders they could attack every one of their neighbors. Course they may get their asses handed to them but that's Europe's business.

That being said, considering Wilson was partially to blame for the rise of Hitler, it could be argued positively that we needed to correct the situation in Europe.

*snicker* You break it, you buy it? Sounds almost... neocon!

Yikes. I was using Poland as an example of a country that has never had an interventionist policy. It certainly didn't keep them safe from foreign attack.

Non-interventionism is no longer a relevant or effective strategy. The world is a lot smaller than it was prior to WWI or WWII.

Even if Wilson had nothing to do with Hitler, he still would have come about-- or someone else would have. We can band together with like-minded countries and fight the threat before it's global, or we can wait until we're the only ones left, and fight the entire planet by ourselves. It's pretty much as simple as that.
