The Western Betrayal argument belies the fact that Britain had very limited land forces available to attack Germany and even more limited ability to get them there and supply them. This was obvious to all at the time, including the Polish leadership so this part of the betrayal argument doesn't stand up, even though it was an idiotic piece of diplomacy on our part. Either way, we DID go to war for them and undertook great sacrifice as a result. It remains a valid question though why we declared war on Germany but not Russia even though both attacked Poland at the same time. Anyway they'll be more annoyed at the 2-0 score line!
