What is a betrayal? IMHO:to promise some thing,and,then deliberately not honour the promise,although one had the possibility to do it
The fact that Britain did not start a big offensive in september 1939,is no breach of the military convention between Britain and Poland of late august 1939,because such offensive was not mentioned in august ,neither in the treaty of april 1939.And,Britain could not start such offensive,it had not the means to do this .
But,I know this has been debated elsewhere(it is already late,and I have no time to search) and I would not surprised if the moderator would lock this thread .
The allies guaranteed the integrity of 1939 polish borders, then behind back of polish government bargained with Stalin the illegal change of these borders (first in Teheran 1943). Whole negotiations were kept secret so to assure polish war effort will go on. The polish goverment was informed post facto in february 1945. How does that not qualify as betrayal, not only in moral but in diplomatic sense?
The betrayal of the western allies is not a popular myth, it is a historical fact well reinforced by historians. During WWI MacMahon and Balfour doublecrossed the Arabs in a similar fashion. You have simply nothing to discuss about.
