declared war and this would officially start world war two. At 4:45 1.5 million German troops marched
into Poland and almost simultaneously the Germans bombed the Airfields and attacked the Polish navy.
the Germans said that it was a defensive act but Britain and France weren’t buying it. For Hitler the
invasion would bring the Germans more living space. His plan was that the Germans would colonize
in Poland and the native slavs would be enslaved. As Hitler had already invaded Austria and
Czechoslovakia in the same year he was hoping that the invasion would be tolerated by other countries.
The Germans signed a nonaggression pact with the USSR so that they wouldn’t come …show more content…
to the aid of
Poland when they invaded. Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland on August 26 but on August 25 he
delayed the invasion learning that Britain had signed a treaty with Poland that say they would aid Poland
if they were attacked.
Poland feared attack and tried calling in troops but France and Britain
persuaded Poland to wait until August 31 the last attempt to dissuade Germany. At 4:45 the Germans
began Invading and Britain gave the Germans two days to withdraw from the war or they would send
help. After the two days had expired Britain announced that they were officially at war with Germany
and shortly after France also declared war. In Poland Germany started to advance at crazy speeds they were using a tactic known as lightning war. In lightning war the Germans smashed into the
poland line and separated Polish forces to capture them. The advanced German air force bombed the
city to even terrorize the country further. Shortly later Poland was evacuated and Germany had taken
poland and despite france and britain having declared war on germany they did little to help out against
the poland invasion and the war really didn’t pick back up until one year later. I find the reliability to this
article Reliable considering I got the article from History. com. History.com is also a well
known site that gives credible information about many topics and many times in history. I also think
that
the invasion of Poland Ever happening. I can’t think about another country invading another country in
today’s world. Also no countries helped out the significantly weaker Poland. in this time countries
would help fight Against the wrong. France and Britain were also supposed to aid Poland if Germany
invaded but didn’t do much to help. I think they were scared to help because of the dominance of
Germany and when France and Britain saw Germany tear apart Poland they were scared to take action
of fear of the same thing happening to them. Somehow it did happen though and started a terrible time
for our world and hope that nothing like this ever happens again.
