Look up what happened to Czechoslovakia after the gave up the Sudetenland. Then retract your silly statement.

Which silly statement? Oh did even worse happen to Czechoslovakia than happened to Poland? Tell me. What was it. According to Wikipedia "Czech losses resulting from political persecution and deaths in concentration camps totaled between 36,000 and 55,000. The Jewish population of Bohemia and Moravia (118,000 according to the 1930 census) was virtually annihilated. Many Jews emigrated after 1939; more than 70,000 were killed; 8,000 survived at Terezín. Several thousand Jews managed to live in freedom or in hiding throughout the occupation." While it is morally repugnant to make fine gradations about murderous thugs, Poland's experience was far far worse than this.

That's silly.
1) Poland had no way to know that it could be treated differently than Czeckoslovakia.
2) Poland had no reason to think that the French would fail to live up to promises.
