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.

Why didnt England help Poland in World War 2?
One of the big problems for Britain in 1938-39 was that Hitler's key ambitions were in an area that was inaccessible from the UK - Eastern Central Europe - and where Britain had very little influence. In many respects, the British undertaking to Poland was strategically unsound and lacked practical substance. In May 1939 Churchill suggested that Britain had chosen the 'wrong ally' in the region and that an alliance with the Soviet Union would have made better sense. look Britan was affraid to help Poland they thought that if they help they would be destroied by Hitler. Polish were strategics that destroied almost half of German army.

What would have happened to Poland if Britain had not gone to war over them?
What happened to Poland was not affected in the least bit by the British declaring war over the German invasion of Poland. Britain was too far away to help the Poles in any way whatsoever. Germany was between Poland and Britain. So what happened to Poland would have happened if the British had not declared war. The Russians invaded Poland from the east two weeks after Germany invaded Poland from the west. Hitler and Stalin were still partners at that point, and had agreed to split Poland down the middle between them. Nobody declared war on Russia over that. I suppose having to deal with Germany first gave Britain and France all they could try to handle. Two years later Hitler obliged by turning on his partner and attacking the Soviet Union, making an "ally" of the Russians in the fight against Germany.
When did the Poland invasion start?
It happened on September, 1 1939 in the morning. Oh, and a little more information...Great Britain and France said they would help Poland if Adolf Hitler invaded it. Once it was invaded...guess what they did? They didn't send even 1 troop!!! They just declared war on Germany! Didn't even help out Poland at all.
