:As to the Budapest Memorandum, you need to consider its historical precedent.
:As to the Budapest Memorandum, you need to consider its historical precedent.
:When Poland was resurrected on the map after 125 years in 1919, like the Budapest Memorandum, the [[Treaty of Versailles]] granted security guarantees to Poland. Like the Budapest Memorandum after 20 years, when Germany and Soviet Union violated the treatry with 1939 invasion of Poland, Britain and France did nothing. This is the period of the so-called "[[Phony War]]" or "[[Sitzkrieg]]". When Germany and France finally did attack Germany to get to Poland, it resulted in the defeat of France in 44 days and the [[Vichy regime]] becoming a German ally. Britain fought on, but ultimately the [[British Empire]] folded up shop in 1947. Britain lost its Empire as result of WWII, so realistically, it's a bit of a stretch to say Britain was a "victor".

:Simply said, both Britan and France lost their Empires trying to enforce Polish security guarantees, and Poland did not emerge as a "[[democracy]]". So it is really difficult to say that either France or Great Britain 'won" World War II. Whereas Soviet Communism was enhanced, largely due to Britsch and American efforts.
