.. . .

According to treaties, this obligated the British
to make war on Germany.

And so it began.

While Poland fell rather quickly, Polish
resistance & spies were very useful to
the allies all through the war - plus some
of the best code-breaking talent was in
Poland at the time and gave the British
efforts a boost up.

Poland has long had a problem - it is located
in-between euro west and euro east. Would-be
conquerors constantly tramp back and forth
through Poland, doing great damage.

Poland DID have a sort of empire once, but
that was a very long time ago. As usual the
conquered become conquerors, then conquered
again, and the slow cycles continue. It is
instructive to dig up old territorial maps
dating from maybe the 700s on through the
medieval/enlightenment period. Some will
surprise you. Even tiny Denmark had empire,
twice.

However central Europe - seems the lines and
names changed with every generation for quite
awhile ... never-ending strife and it's unclear
there were any permanent winners. No guarantees
that strife has ended ... Vlad WANTS his
USSR back again .......

That's only when it began in the European theatre.

Two dates are commonly given for its end -- VE Day and VJ Day, and
perhaps the same needs to be done for its beginning.

In Africa, WWII began earlier, on 3 October 1936, when Italy invaded
Ethiopia.

In Asia, it began earlier still, on 18 September 1931, when Japan
invaded Manchuria.

And even in Europe one could perhaps say it began earlier, with the
German Anschluss with Austria, perhaps, or the invasion of
Czechoslovakia.
