Great Britain had made a secret deal with Poland to instigate a war against Germany. Check out this link that has lots of info on this:

Britain wanted a war with Germany, and used Poland as a useful idiot to do it. Even if Poland instigated the war, Britain would ally with Poland against Germany. Poland was extremely hostile to the German people living within its newly created borders. Before the end of WW1, all of that land belonged to Germany (then called Prussia), and most of those Germans had lived there for hundreds, if not over one thousand years (many millions of them). The Poles had begun to exterminate the ethnic Germans. Poland had attacked Germany multiple times, openly bragged they could defeat Germany on their own, and openly gave out their invasion plans for Germany. This is what precipitated Germany's invasion of Poland.
However, since Britain didn't give a shit about Poland, Britain only declared war against Germany, but not against Soviet Russia, which invaded Poland at the exact same time. Weird.
I swear to God, even as someone who like to challenge the orthodox narrative, this has never occurred to me. I mean I know Britain didn't declare war against USSR in response to their invasion of Poland, the magnitude of the disparate response is ... interesting.
