WW2: Britain Declares War on Germany to Save Poland

On September 1, 1939 German troops swarmed across the Polish border and unleashed the first Blitzkrieg the world had seen. Hitler had been planning his attack since March - ever since German troops occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia. The Poles suspected as much and readied their defenses. Unfortunately the Poles based their defensive strategy on the experiences of World War I. Mobility was crucial - mobility provided by cavalry troops the Poles considered the best in the world. Indeed, their horsemen were probably the world's best - but horses offered little defense against tanks.

after 120+ years of occupation by 3 countries.

brits must have had some beans just before that.

I think its blatantly obvious that we (BRITISH) didnt want to go to war at that time.

However we did step up to the plate when need be.

I belive that Americans helped you a bit with that "setting up to the plate".

A lot of Polish pilots died helping you

It's a chance, most Brits are not like you.

Polish Pilots were helping themselves and avenging their loved ones. At the time we could use the pilots nothing else.

German dominated Sudetenland area of Czechoslovakia into the German Third Reich in 1938. In March of the next year he occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia

Bolstered by the lack of a forceful response by Britain or France, Hitler set his sights on Poland. However, British Prime Minister Chamberlain had come to the realization that Hitler's territorial ambitions could not be tempered by submitting to his demands. In March 1939 he declared that Britain guaranteed Poland's independence and vowed to come to her aid if attacked. France soon joined Britain in support of Poland.

The assault was originally scheduled to begin in the early morning hours of August 26th. However, on August 25th, Britain announced that her guarantee of Polish independence had been formalized by an alliance between the two countries. Hitler wavered and postponed his attack to September 1.

Helping you, helping you actually and avenging their loved ones. The Poles fighting for England actually started shooting down German pilots after they had bailed out. Then the Germans obviously started shooting down allied Pilots after they had bailed out.
