If Poland had lost the Polish-Soviet War, would Britain and France free Germany, whether in part or in whole, from the Treaty of Versailles?

[G.K. Kipling]

I think it would be very likely, as Germany was incredibly vulnerable to foreign invasion, and if Poland fell, it would be logical to think that Soviets would soon come to the aid of the Communists in Germany, aiming to put a Bolshevik hegemony over Europe by force. The Entente might even make Kaiser Wilhelm III their puppet king if they felt the situation was desperate enough.

 

[Leonidas]

“Germany free of treaty obligations” and “Entente puppet Germany” seem like two clearly different scenarios. In any case, they wouldn’t simply forget the bloodshed of WWI and their antipathy towards the Kaiser because of anticommunism. If nothing else, the British and French governments would know that giving Germany a free pass would be political suicide among their constituents.

I don't think the Entente would have much say in the matter. The Weimar Republic would rapidly rearm on its own initiative (as it was secretly doing so anyways even at this early point) if an army of Bolsheviks eager to avenge Rosa showed up in their backyard.

The Bolshevik plan was to divide Poland with Weimar Germany anyways, not invade Germany to install a communist government.

We more than likely see more extensive collaboration between Germany and the Soviet Union (which already happened in OTL) to undermine the post-Great War order.

I'm very doubtful for this, as besides reasons already mentioned Germany wanted to expand in the the Baltics, the last British soldiers killed by the German army were in late 1919.

Germany is not a neutral actor for France and Britain, in fact they caused the rise of the Soviet Union in the first place rather than take a conciliary tone I would expect them to try and use all the leverage they have in the first place while they still have it to get subordinate Germany.

After all the blockade of Germany only ended in June 1919 five months after the Soviet Polish war began, if a Soviet victory is starting to appear likely early on I feel France and Britain would try to tighten the screws and get a Germany following their interests and if not the blockade can always continue.
