The British & French were too far removed to defend Poland from the Germans, however... the Russians (Soviet Union) actually helped Hitler attack Poland not defend it. The Russians then annexed the eastern portion of Poland. At no point in World War 2, even when the Russians became Allies, did they defend Poland.

The December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, without provocation, inspired the U.S. to defend itself and take part in the World War. On December 8, 1941 the US declared war on Japan and on December 11, 1941 Germany declared war on the U.S.

The main reason for World War I was the system of protection treaties that were inacted by European countries before the war. When Archduke Ferdinand was murdered by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, the Austrians presented extraordinary demands on Serbia that the Serbs had no choice but to refuse. When Austria resolved to attack Serbia, the treaties demanded that some of the signatories defend Serbia. Still other countries were required to defend Austria. This created a chain reaction that started this horrible war.
