    Actions speak louder than words. Maybe Stalin gave Czechoslovakia some nice words, but what he did was help Hitler invade Poland as a friend and ally.

      Indeed, actions speak louder than words. And what Britain and France did, was help Germany invade Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland. And ensured Fascism would win in Spain. When Adolf wanted an army, a navy, an airforce, they gave it to him.

      Appeasement worked. Germany went to war.

        Chamberlain was booted out of office over appeasement. You’re still defending Stalin’s decision to invade Poland with the Nazis. That’s the difference between reasonable people and tankies.

            Why put invaded in quotes? Did it not happen?

            At that time, there was no Poland

            The Polish government fled to Romania the day after the Soviets invaded. So yes, there was still a Poland. Just like there was a Poland when the Soviets and the Nazis planned to invade the country and split it amongst themselves.

        What Britain and France did was declare war on Germany after the joint invasion of Poland from Hitler and his Soviet allies.
