Fair points! I did say Axis powers (to include Japan).
I think though, that the average Brit did not care so much about Poland. It was clear by that point that Hitler intended to take all of Europe and the exact event that triggered it was maybe not so important. After all it's not like France was wrong to declare war - it was obvious that they were going to be next.
- pdonis 3y ago> the average Brit did not care so much about Poland After the Nazis invaded France, I expect that's true, yes. But before that the only reason for Britain to be fighting was over Poland. > it's not like France was wrong to declare war - it was obvious that they were going to be next No, it wasn't at all obvious. Hitler's stated purpose, going as far back as Mein Kampf, was that Germany should expand to the east. His decision to move west instead was rather sudden and surprised a lot of his own advisors. And didn't happen until eight months after Britain and France declared war (the intervening period was called the "Phoney War" even at the time).
