When Germany invaded Poland and Soviet Union a few weeks later, why did
UK and France not declare war on Soviet Union too ??
Unlike Hitler, the British and French leaders didn't want war
and weren't eager to take on any more enemies. They had
enough on their hands with Germany. The U.S. didn't even
declare war on Germany until after the Germans declared
war on the U.S.
Churchill wanted to send material aid to Finland, that was
fighting against the USSR after November, 1939, but even
apart from the folly of starting another war with another
powerful adversary, there was no practical way to do it.
