That's because they have had like 1000 years and still haven't figured out the concept of vowelsGrundleStiltzkin said:Countries had been shitting on #MyPoles for a long tim. The pre-WW2 borders had only been in place a few decades, correct?

I always thought your moniker had something to do with Beau Baldwin, and I assumed you were an EWU grad.BaldwinIV said:Loved Yella's thread but didn't like seeing it hijacked so I'll create separate one. I'm a history buff but more medieval (hence my moniker here) and my WW2 is limited.
The Western powers declare war on Germany because under their pact they agree to declare war on anyone who attacks Poland.
OK got it.
But....The USSR also attacked Poland several weeks later, why then did not Britain and France declare war on the USSR as well? Same offense right?
It's like they knew the USSR was up to no good (and reverted to hating them immediately after V-E day), why let their warcrimes slide until late '45? -
Correct. The Soviets and the Poles also fought a pretty nasty little war right after WW1.GrundleStiltzkin said:Countries had been shitting on #MyPoles for a long tim. The pre-WW2 borders had only been in place a few decades, correct?

Something most people miss about WW2 was the Poland being overrun by the germans then the russian the people getting screwed; thus the rise of Hannibal Lecter.

It is one of the very odd aspects of world war 2 that the UK and French went to war over Poland's independence, only to have the war end with Poland being controlled by another country. I believe the reason said earlier is correct, that the allies did not want to fight Germany and Russia. Listening to ww2 radio from the time, one of the concerns among the general public was that Hitler would ultimate make an alliance with Stalin (although I'm not sure how much of a concern that was for people in power). A similar problem faced the allies after the USSR invaded Finland. The problem was a practical one. People also forget that the soviet union helped Hitler immensely, sending raw goods the Germany right up until the Germans invade (I believe the trains stopped the day of the invasion). So despite all the help the soviets played in beating Hitler, they also deserve quite a bit of blame.

Because the western powers were pussies and only true Aryans had the courage to fight the communist scourge.
