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.
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?
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.
Right, Seems so. They only passed the Romanian border on the 17th.
What Britain and France did was declare war on Germany after the joint invasion of Poland from Hitler and his Soviet allies.
They did, after they finally realized what they had done. Read The Cold War and Its Origins.
What "they" had done? Are you seriously trying to blame Stalin signing a military alliance with Hitler on Neville Chamberlain being an appeasing dick?
Read a book. I already recommended you one.
A book commonly regarded as Soviet imperial apologia, recommended by a tankie from lemmygrad
In what way is it "commonly regarded"? Where? Who? WTF are you talking about? I genuinely want to know.
