History /
Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]
What would you count as "ready"? They invaded the Saar territory!
French arrogance.It was a half hearted invasion which they never backed up with the force they intended.
It cost The French and The Poles dear.
Did the treaty say " we will help you only if we judge that we are ready"?
The agreement was not specific.
It contained promises of mutual military assistance between the nations and for Britain and Poland to "consult together on measures to be taken in common".
Don't forget that Britain declared war on Germany and lost many civilian as well as military lives as a result.
