    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.

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

      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.

        The USSR “invaded” 16 days after the Germans. At that time, there was no Poland. The Government had been interned in Romania.

          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.
