    However by fighting ww2...led to the virtual bankruptcy and the loss of the empire.....but what would have happened to Britain had they come to terms with Nazi Germany...easily done....Would Hitler have allowed Britain to keep its empire?....What would have happened to Jews in the UK or in the empire?....Britain went to war for her own self interest....devil or the deep blue sea....a lose...lose situation....but at least Britain did nor climb down again like at Munich and retained a crumb of decency.....yet we all know Britain never went to war to defend Poland as that was never possible....Poland was a moral line in the sand....Hitler could not go beyond that point!.....it was an issue of british not losing face again!....So war became inevitable.
