Generally speaking, the history of World War II, controlled by Western historical views, generally believes that the outbreak of the Polish Campaign on September 1, 1939, was a landmark event in the outbreak of World War II. On this point, we can basically think that the Western countries are talking nonsense, not to mention the war of aggression launched by Japan, the 1938 Munich Conference let Czechoslovakia be divided by Germany, this is also a completely unavoidable thing, strictly speaking, this is the fuse of the Second World War, but also the British and French countries connived at the wanton expansion of German fascism.
As for Poland, which is often considered a victim of the Second World War, it is far from being as innocent as the Western countries advertise, but rather they were also accomplices of Nazi Germany. The world only knows that Poland was invaded by Germany, but it does not know that Poland also controlled the Cieszyn region of Czechoslovakia in 1938, and also entered the Cieszyn region as a greedy bandit. As for why Poland invaded Czechoslovakia, it began with the feud between Poland and Czechoslovakia over the Ceszyn region.
Poland and Czechoslovakia were both countries born after World War I with an anglo-French support, having previously been part of Germany and Austria-Hungary, respectively. Logically, the two countries with the same disease should be friendly and harmonious, but the brain circuits of Poland are different from ordinary people, and the Poles directly target the Czyęne region under the control of Czechoslovakia, because more than half of the population of the region speaks Polish, and Poland believes that this place should naturally belong to their "Greater Poland", so they jump to Czechoslovakia every day to ask for the Cessin region.
If the Poles are to be said to be a model of nothing to do, then the Cēchin region is an important transportation hub connecting the east and west of Czechoslovakia, where can it be handed over by the Poles in a few words? The Poles were also rogue factions, seeing that the "broken thoughts" could not get the Cieszyn area, they simply played the next three indiscriminate routines, first assassinating local politicians in the Cessin region, and then sending a small force to harass and provoke Czechoslovakia, and local conflicts were also the frequency of three times a day. According to the Ideas of the Poles, the Polish army is an invincible presence under the heavens, punching Germany, kicking the Soviets, bullying you a Czechoslovak that is not the same as playing?
The Poles were dreaming of being alone here, fantasizing that they could bring Czechoslovakia to its knees, but they did not expect that Czechoslovakia was also fierce, and directly sent troops to begin to teach poles who did not know the height of the sky. Don't look at the cowhide that the Poles blew before, Zhen and Czechoslovakia saw the real chapter on the battlefield is not that thing. The script is exactly the same as the Polish thought, the Czechoslovak army broke the Poles' rogue army like a bamboo, so that the Poles could only stand on the Vistula River defense line, if it were not for the timely mediation of Britain and France in 1920, I am afraid that Poland would have been beaten to Warsaw by Czechoslovakia.
The Anglo-French mediation was so distinctive that they finally decided to divide the Cêsin region into two, with the richest 60% of the land and 70% of the population in the Cđsin region giving Czechoslovakia, and Poland receiving 40% of the poorest land and 30% of the population. This distribution can be said to have satisfied Czechoslovakia very much, while Poland felt that it had been wronged. Poland hated this distribution result, but considering that Poland had also provoked the Soviet Union, the two sides were now physically intertwined, so they could only grit their teeth and recognize this distribution result.
Don't look at the Polish people who ostensibly admit this result, but in their hearts they really hate Czechoslovakia and want to get back from Czechoslovakia in the future. But then again, where does Poland get so many faces? You Poland provoked the matter, and you Poland also suffered a series of defeats, and now Poland feels that the distribution is uneven? Who knows where Poland's face can think like this? But in any case, the beams of Poland and Czechoslovakia were settled, so that when Germany asked Czechoslovakia for the Sudetenland region in 1938, the Poles jumped out.
The Sudetenland region, which was sought by Germany at the time, actually included part of the Land of Cieschin, especially the city of Bohuming, a railway hub connecting the Czech and Slovak regions, which now happens to be in the Sudetenland. On the other hand, the Czechoslovak government turned to the Soviet Union for help in order to be able to confront Germany, and the Poles felt it was time to jump out and brush up on a sense of presence.
Before the Munich Conference, the Polish ambassador to Germany conveyed the attitude of the Polish government, as follows:
"I. The Polish Government confirms that, as a result of its position, the possibility of Soviet intervention in the question of Czechoslovakia on a broader scale has been extinguished. Poland considered soviet intervention in European affairs to be intolerable. We believe that the Government of Czechoslovakia was artificially established to adapt to certain dogmas and combinations, without taking into account the specific needs and legitimate needs of the Central European countries. Translating the Words of the Poles, Poland felt that Czechoslovakia was in partnership with the Soviet Union, and that Poland was willing to take care of Czechoslovakia with Germany.
To say that aiding and abetting is such a grandiose sound, it should be said that this is worthy of being a Pole, and that the wicked deserve to be so ingenious. Two days before the Munich Conference, Polish Foreign Minister Beck also summoned the German ambassador to Poland, first to explain Poland's hostile policy toward the Soviet Union, and then to talk to the German ambassador about the partition of Czechoslovakia. And that was not all, the Polish government sent a telegram to Czechoslovakia, declaring that Poland, together with Germany and Hungary, was responsible for the future of Czechoslovakia, and that it was, to put it bluntly, to divide up the land together.
By the time the Munich Conference had come to a successful conclusion on 30 September, germany had signed the Munich Agreement as it wished, and was waiting to send troops into the Sudetenland, the Poles had given Czechoslovakia an ultimatum demanding that the Czechoslovak government accept all of the Polish government's territorial claims by 12 noon the next day, and that all troops and police in the Ceszing region be withdrawn, or else send troops to attack Czechoslovakia.
At this time, Czechoslovakia had no choice but to accede to Poland's request the next day, and then Poland could not wait to send troops to occupy the Ceschin region with lightning, and the speed was even astonishing to Germany.
Poland finally got the Ceszyn region they had in mind, and Germany also acquiesced to Poland's move and was happy to let Poland enjoy this momentary victory, because it made Germany face much less blame in the international arena, and no one could accuse Germany of encroaching on Czechoslovakia's lands, after all, the Poles also divided up with it, right?
The Poles, who were celebrating the victory at this time, could not have dreamed that they had now let themselves fall into the Encirclement of Germany on three sides. It can be said that the Poles' ability to dig their own graves is really superb, and when the Polish campaign breaks out in the next year, the Poles will understand how big a mistake they have made, and at that time they will not even have to take the regret medicine.
