Today Europe and the world celebrates the end of WW2 in Europe.
Thanks to FDR and Churchill, Stalin, who helped Hitler start WW2, would see his wildest dreams and territorial aspirations fulfilled at the end of WW2.
At the end of the war Stalin and the USSR occupied and controlled Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Eastern Germany, Moldova, Hungary and Poland.
The countries of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania and Bulgaria who were all independent and sovereign countries before WW2 would now become part of the USSR or Soviet satellite states.
Czechoslovakia, which had been a thriving and prosperous democratic country before it was betrayed by its western allies and western Europe to Hitler and Nazi Germany in the 1938 Munich agreements, would also become a Soviet satellite.
But no country was betrayed more by the allies in the post WW2 settlement than Poland.
Churchill and FDR sold out their most loyal and staunchest ally in the war against Nazi Germany, Poland, to the worst mass murderer in recorded history.
During the war Poland was an ally that was the most loyal to the cause of defeating Hitler and Nazi Germany.
An ally which never cooperated in any way with the Nazi regime despite being under brutal occupation.
An ally that had hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting for the allied cause.
An ally that had the biggest and most powerful resistance movement to Nazi Germany in Europe.
An ally that had lost one quarter of its prewar population and had its whole country looted and destroyed.
And most importantly, an ally that had signed treaties with the western powers guaranteeing its sovereignty and independence at the end of WW2.
Poland's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity were the reason why UK and France declared war on Germany and started WW2 in the first place. But now that the war was all but over, all of those treaties, alliances, pledges and promises were thrown to the dustbin of history, and practically erased from western history books and public knowledge.
So while people in western Europe, including Western Germany, would come to enjoy living in a prosperous, democratic countries which were built up by the US after WW2 ended, the people living in east and central Europe, the people who suffered the most during WW2, would continue living under a totalitarian occupation of their countries.
Happy victory day.
