What year did Europe put Poland on the map?

Poland first appeared on the map with the formation of the Polish Kingdom in 1025. Poland then formed a commonwealth with Lithuania in 1596, forming the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1795, Poland was partitioned between Prussia, Russia, and Austria, ending the sovereignty of the nation and abolishing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From 1807-1815, Napoléon established the Duchy of Warsaw, in which Poland existed as a puppet state to France. It was then partitioned between Prussia and Russia. Poland would not appear on the map again until the end of World War I in 1918, where Russia and Germany ceded land. Poland was then invaded by Russia and Germany in 1939, starting World War II. Poland was reestablished as a nation, but acted as a communist puppet state of Russia from 1945 until the fall of communism in the early 1990s. Today, Poland exists a democratic nation and is labeled as the Polish Third Republic.

What made Poland a difficult ally for France and Britain to protect from Germany?

Poland is geographically distant from France and Britain. At least in terms of the technology of 1930s. However, viewed through the geopolitical situation of the time, the alliance made perfect sense to contain Soviet (communist) expansion into Wester Europe.

Further, when the war actually started, Poland was attacked on two fronts.

The Eastern front was where Soviet Union attacked. The Western, where the Germans struck. While France and Britain could conceivably assist Poland in an armed struggle against one of those powers, against two, the two allies were frozen into inaction. Remembering the lessons of WW1, with rapid advance of Germans through Belgium into France, France decided to stay their ground rather than strike Germany. Post war analysis shows that had France gone on the offensive, it would likely stop in Berlin, assuming good supply lines as Germany had practically no troops on the Western border at the time, commiting all to 'Operation Barbarossa'.

At the time, Soviet Union, a communist nation with an agenda of global conquest was a very real threat. Poland was an economic superpower industralising rapidly, with good technology research and development. Further, they were ideologically right leaning. In the 1920s, Soviet Union actually invaded Poland and it was only through desperate military defence that the Soviet Army was stopped mere kilometers from the Poland's capital Warsaw.

It was in the interest of Poland to seek alliance with France and Britain for that reason. The other two allies were interested in seeking to stop Communist progress through Western Europe.

The Germans were not considered a serious threat at the time of the treaty. Germany was weak. Allegedly stripped of its military capital after WW1 loss to the allies. They had also their own Communist problems, culminating in a brief and bloody armed struggle in central Germany.

Was Poland an Axis power or Allied power in World War 2?

Poland was a German occupied country. There were some Poles who were with the Allies and some who collaberated with the Axis. Poland by itself was a part of the allies. WW2 lasted in Western terms for six years and one day. In Asian and African terms it began earlier than September 1, 1939 because of Japanese and Italian expansion. In the West, the war is considered to have begun when Germany invaded Poland. Great Britain and France had an alliance with Poland, and they honored it as best they were able when Hitler faked an attack on a German radio station using concentration camp bodies (canned goods) in Polish uniforms as evidence. Yet, Germany could not have completed its easy conquest of Poland without cooperation from the USSR, just as these three countries had conspired to divide Czechoslovakia in the previous year. * Thousands of Polish Army officers were executed Russian-style (kneeling, hands tied behind back, bullet in head) by the Soviet NKVD in the Katyn Forest in 1939-40. When the Nazis discovered the mass grave in 1941, they brought in Allied POWs to witness that they had not done this. A few years ago, it was alleged that Churchill arranged the death of the Polish General Sikorsky, so as not to offend the Russians after the Nazis uncovered the massacre, and keep the Soviets in the war. * Thousands of other Polish fighting men escaped this massacre, and they served with bravery in Italy and Holland in 1944. * In Western terms, Poland was the country where the war began, and Poland definitely got the worst of it, but they were Allied all the way, not Axis.
