On 22 May, Poland`s ambassador to France, Juliusz Eukasiewicz, told French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet that if France preferred Germany to defend Czechoslovakia, "we will not budge." The city also told Bonnet that Poland would oppose any attempt by Soviet forces to defend Czechoslovakia against Germany. Daladier told Jakob Surits [ru; de], to the Soviet ambassador to France: "Not only can we not count on Poland`s support, but we also do not believe that Poland will not hit us in the back." [19] However, the Polish government has indicated on several occasions (in March 1936 and May, June and August 1938) that he was ready to fight Germany if the French decided to help Czechoslovakia: "Beck`s proposal to Bonnet to show his statements to Ambassador Drexel Biddle and to Vansittart`s statement that the Polish Foreign Minister is indeed ready to pursue a radical policy if the Western powers commit a war with Germany. But these proposals and statements did not elicit a reaction from the British and French governments, which seemed to avoid war by calming Germany. [20] On 29 and 30 September 1938, an emergency meeting of the major European powers was held in Munich, without Czechoslovakia or the Soviet Union, allied with France and Czechoslovakia. An agreement was quickly reached on Hitler`s terms. It was signed by the leaders of Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy. On the military front, the Sudetenland was of strategic importance to Czechoslovakia, as most of its border defences were there to protect themselves from a German attack. The agreement between the four powers was signed with low intensity in the context of an undeclared German-Czechoslovak war, which had begun on 17 September 1938. Meanwhile, after 23 September 1938, Poland transferred its military units to the common border with Czechoslovakia.

[2] Czechoslovakia bowed to diplomatic pressure from France and Great Britain and decided on 30 September to cede Germany to Munich conditions. Fearing a possible loss of Zaolzie to Germany, Poland issued an ultimatum to Zaolzie, with a majority of Polish ethnic groups, which Germany had accepted in advance and accepted Czechoslovakia on 1 October. [3] Chamberlain`s travels to Germany threatened not only to disrupt his plans, but also to steal his thunder. Yet Hitler was well aware that the Munich Accords offered the best chance of achieving his goals without an early war. "Czechoslovakia decided on 30 September to accept all Munich conditions. On the morning of 30 September, Benes addressed the Soviet ambassador desperately. "Czechoslovakia is faced with the choice to start the war with Germany and has Britain and France against it,... or capitulate to the aggressor. What would be the attitude of the U.S.S.R. towards these two possibilities, "that is, a continuation of the struggle or the capitulation"? Before the Soviet government could discuss the issue, another telegram told them that no answer was needed: "The Czechoslovakian government has already decided to accept all the conditions." It is hard to believe that the investigation was conducted seriously. Benea remained true to his determination that Czechoslovakia could not fight alone or with Soviet Russia as a single ally.
