Poland was the first military target of the Nazi Blitskrieg or lightning war. There were jokes that Krakow! is onamopoetic for a Howitzer letting go, and of course the obvious joke that Warsaw was aplty named, seeing much battle damage.

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.
