While Britain and France DID declare war on Germany after the invasion of Poland, they didn’t actually DO anything until France was attacked.

The British (quite rightly) believed that forward defense (fighting the Germans in France) was preferable to allowing the Germans to solidify their positions there. The result was Dunkirk.

Nobody went to war in WWII JUST to liberate Poland...
