Poland didn't necessarily start WW2. It was their vow to not fall to the Nazis so easily. It was the Nazis invasion OF Poland that started World War 2.
2= N of WW= 2 nations of world war
In World War II, Poland was divided between the U.S.S.R. and Nazi Germany. After WW II, the U.S.S.R took control of all of Poland. When the Warsaw Pact was dissolved, Poland became independent.
The Hitler/Stalin nonaggression pact was at the expense of Poland. Germany occupied western Poland and the USSR occupied eastern Poland, triggering WW II because Britain and France had promised to defend Poland.
Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries lost about 60,000 civilians during WW-2. Other countries fared worse, Russia's civilian population had about 7.5 million casualties, China had 10 million, Poland had 5 million and Germany lost more than 3.5 million civilians in WW-2.
Despite the expectations of Hitler, Mussolini did not enter WW 2 when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939. His explanation to Hitler was that the Italian military was not prepared enough to enter the war at that time. After the French surrendered in 1940, Italy finally did enter the war.
Well the Scots were in WW 2 since the begining. After the invasion of Poland in 1939 which started WW 2, Britain and France declared war on Germany. And Scotland was part of the British Empire, so they sent troops.
Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939 and started WW II.
Poland had no means to defend against Germany at that time, which started WW II.
After Poland's defeat in WW 2, former Polish foreign minister Josef Beck was captured and sent to a prison in Romania. In 1944 he died there of tuberculosis.
im not sure =S Until the split-up of Europe and the creation of the the smaller European states at the end of WW I, Poland was part of Russia. Poland was a political punchbag between more powerful nations fior several centuries. So the answer to the question is that Poland was a province of Russia and thus part of the Russian war effort in WW I. Poland itself was moved bodily 100 miles west at the end of WW II - more punchbaggery!
